For awhile now I’ve been on the hunt for an awesome set of headphones to start editing with. For those that have been around for awhile, I do have a youtube channel. Sadly when I got really sick I was able to keep up the blogging but not the videos, my voice was just too sick. Ever since I promised to get that back on track & to do that I needed an amazing pair of headphones that would withstand my rough household & provide amazing sound quality since I’m partially deaf. Tall order.
Needless to say when BlogHer partnered with the king of audio Monster I was in. I’ve never paid a lot for headphones, usually I just use them to workout with or listen to my audio books. I think that’s what was stalling me: How do I pick an expensive pair when I don’t really know what I need? Luckily, Monster came out with their N-Tude “Headphones with Attitude” & now I know why they are absolutely worth the price.
Obviously I could go into all the tech speak like techno noise isolation but that really isn’t my knowledge base. I don’t like to pretend I know all that jazz when you can just visit their site & read it for yourself. So what am I going to tell you about? Well, how about the things that make these headphones great for me personally using my own jargon?
1. First, the N-Tune Candy Collection colors are just fun. I am always drawn to color because it makes things so much easier for me to find. I have them in the shade Candy Tangerine but there are also shades like blue, green, purple, & red. Style!
2. They are incredibly durable. In fact, they claim to be virtually indestructible! You can even bend & twist the head band part (see I’m not technical!) without breakage! When you are clumsy, have lots of animals, a husband with very little attention to detail, & have a knack for misplacing items you’ll be psyched these are not only a bright orange metallic but pretty much unbreakable from a normal standpoint.
3. They fit! I have tiny ears, I mean pretty small. Normal in-ear headphones make my ears ache unless they are extremely small & even then I can’t stand them after awhile. I prefer headphones like this for extended use but often they are too big & engulf my ears awkwardly. These are secure but also extremely comfortable. Check out how cushy these ear pieces are, lush right? I wouldn’t wear them for hourse otherwise!
4. The sound quality is really great, even & easy to control. I always like headphones that drown out other noise because I’m partially deaf in one of my ears so that can be especially distracting. I also prefer that I’m not disturbing others & when wearing them people nearby don’t hear thing.
5. Let’s talk about the cord in general shall we? Not only is it tangle-free (rejoice!) but it includes a little button that lets me take calls when listening on my phone. Have a call? Push the button to answer. End call? Push button to hang up! So easy even I can do it!
So there you have it! I’m loving these headphones so much, my only complaint would be that I wish they came with a carrying case of some kind. They do come with a nice bag that is supposed to remove fingerprints & such though & since they’re “virtually indestructible” I guess they figured it works!
