Music to your ears: a round-up of quality headphones

0

Headphones are life essentials. Apart from their obvious use for the better appreciation of music or any form of audio, they also come in handy for a slew of different purposes. You’ll always find the convenience beyond sedating, to drown out the outside world and replace it with a song.

Whether a globetrotter with a strong case of the wanderlust, corporate exec that frequents international passport controls or someone who spends copious amounts of time at an office desk, you’ll alway find a reason or another to blanket the outside world with a song, and for example replace the unnecessary noise of a buzzing fridge with the sweet sound of music. Headphones are an absolute blessing in certain situations unless you happen to be a producer – then headphones are a must to make your daily bread.

Lend us an ear while we inspire you with a round-up of some beautiful picks of headphones, both affordable and pricey, that will speak volumes to your earlobes.

 

Bluedio T3 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones

These wireless Bluetooth headphones will give you the space to blank out like you need to, and really focus on what you’re doing. Ideal for those hard-working types who tend to find themselves cooped up in an office, their sturdy build make them quality items that will amount to a sound investment. The Bluedio T3 Wireless headphones are an affordable choice that still offer quality. If you get your hands on the Plus model, you have the added benefit of sourcing your music directly from a micro SD card. They may come off as being a bit heavier than other choices, and tight on the lobes but that means you’ll never have to worry about them slipping off as they fasten to your head like they’ve been glued on.
