If you’re like me and have trouble sleeping at night, listening to relaxing music, nature sounds, or spoken-word materials can be a real sleep aid. The thing is, using headphones and earbuds while lying down gets uncomfortable quickly, especially if you prefer sleeping on your side. This is where AcousticSheep’s SleepPhones come in. They’re basically a soft fleece headband with two embedded…
I own a set of Skullcandy headphones and I’ve also listened to friends’ sets, and while they usually look pretty cool, I would never have describe them as having “top-notch” sound. So when I heard about the Skullcandy Aviator Headphones and their supposedly awesome sound the other day, I was a little dubious. But apparently these things really do sound good! The…
I wouldn’t consider myself an audiophile, but I do appreciate headphones that both exude style and sound great. The Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear Headphones ($230) definitely fall into that category, taking a sort of retro look and combining it with a modern aesthetic, right down to the in-line mic/remote. These are essentially a more compact, mobile-friendly version of the larger and fancier Sennheiser…
A couple days ago, Andrew Kim published his review of the BeoPlay H6 headphones, and I was taken aback by how beautiful they are. I recommend heading over there to read the full review and check out the hi-res photos, but here are some of the highlights that stood out to me: These are gorgeous headphones. The audio cable can be detached…
Built with metal and leather elements, the Sennheiser Momentum Headphones bring to the table not only a touch of class, but great sound. 18-ohm operating impedance produces great, clear sound. Unlike some other high-end over-the-ear headphones, the Momentums come with an in-line mic and remote, making controlling media or taking a call on an iPhone seamless.
With a minimalistic design, high-definition custom made titanium transducers, the Aedle VK-1 Classic Edition headphones deliver high-quality audio in a handsome package. The lambskin pads should be comfortable for hours of use on end, and with an additional cable and a 6.5mm adaptor in the box, the VK-1s come ready to rock, no matter what your setup. The VK-1 Classics ship in…
If you’re looking for a nice set of headphones with clean sound that are comfortable to wear for hours at a time, check out the Sennheiser HD-280 PRO Headphones. I picked up a set on Amazon earlier this year, and simply love them. They are dynamic, closed-ear headphones meaning they won’t bleed sound out around the over-ear cups. They are light-weight and…
The Bose MIE2i Mobile Headset brings the company’s well-known audio gear to the iPhone with all of the modern niceties, including built-in mic and controls, just like Apple’s headphones. The headphones come with Bose’s “StayHear” technology that is designed to give greater in-ear stability during walking and exercising. The tips come in three different sizes to ensure the best fit.
The Sony 7506 headphones are about as good as a headphone can come for the price. For less than a C-Note you get a studio-quality headphone that will last for a lifetime. Whether you’re recording a podcast or the next platinum record, or even pumping the jams so you don’t have to listen to your co-workers, these are a great choice.
