Tunes in style: Monster headphones

Oh, how our ability to listen to music has changed over time. I remember getting excited for my very first Walkman…followed by the ever-popular Discman when CDs became popular. Then…on to the iPod. Currently, I’ve even outgrown that device. I find myself listening to music on my iPhone, iPad, and on my computer. Instead of downloading music nowadays, I tend to stream my favorites through sites like Pandora, Grooveshark, and more.

Even though my listening device has changed over the years, one thing has remained the same: the need for headphones. I almost always require a set, and finding a pair that is durable, looks great, feels comfortable, and provides quality sound is sometimes a tall order. For me, earbuds are irritating, and headphones have the tendency to give me a headache if they don’t fit well.

…until I met this pair of Monster headphones. I already listen to music quite often, but these headphones make me want to even more. I mean, look at them! As soon as I laid eyes on this gorgeous bright green head set, I was smitten. They are the perfect accessory to accompany your audio-related activities.

Can we talk about how gorgeous this green color is? I love how the bright pop of candy color makes the headphones stand out. They are certainly NOT boring! If green isn’t your color, there are also pairs in royal blue, red, purple, orange, and more! And possibly even better than the color is the comfort: there is padding not only in the ear area (thick, plush, and almost memory foam-like) but around the head band as well. No more headaches from wearing a pair of headphones anymore! One of the features of these headphones that I particularly love is the passive noise isolation. The design of the N-Tune headphones seals out distracting environments to allow your music to achieve full impact. I’m not going to lie: I’ve even thought about wearing these headphones without listening to music, just so I can drown out distracting noises around me! The N-Tune headphones by Monster are also incredibly durable. I can’t tell you how flimsy other pairs of headphones are that I’ve owned in the past. I definitely feel like this is a pair of headphones to last you for the long haul. I know it isn’t exactly the holiday season yet, but I do know it will sneak up on us all before too long. Can you imagine how happy the music lover in your family would be after opening a brand new pair of these Monster headphones? I always like to find great gifts for those people who “have everything” and are difficult to buy for.
