Since I’ve been spending more time in the office, to void myself of feelings of rage towards the constant sniffling, sneezing and coughing that is allergy-ridden-Sean, I’ve been wearing my headphones quite a bit to keep the background noise at bay. Originally I’d given this pair to Sean and while they were in perfect condition that first day, they don’t seem to be that great now. Granted they could have been damaged during their time being shipped down here. I gave him my other headphones. He feels important having a microphone on his head but the head-phones themselves give off some fairly great sound quality so either way he wins.
The ones I’m using now, however, don’t really sit right on my head and although they’re padded, there are pressure points making them rather uncomfortable for long periods of time. In my quest to find a more comfortable pair, I went to my usual hot-spots. TigerDirect, Microcenter, CompUSA, Best Buy and eventually Newegg.com, little did I know, a surf through Google would target me to a pair on Amazon that’s close to perfect, for both me and Sean actually.
He claims it’s the wires wrapping themselves around things, minus the fact that he’s clutzy sometimes and doesn’t pay much attention to what’s going on around him. The pair I found are only about $55 and they’re wireless – which makes everyone happy. They come with a dock that recharges them while they aren’t in use and that to me means money-saved on batteries. The headphones themselves, found here, are given a 4 out of 5 rating by one user. He explained the pros and cons of them but based on the fact that they’ll basically be hooked in through my iPod, I don’t care too much about a light potential hiss. I’m just not sure how they’re going to work with the subwoofer and speakers that I gave to Sean. I’m not quite sure how you can plug this thing into a head-phone jack but I’m pretty sure that I’ll find that out when they get here.
I’m still shopping around but for now I guess these will go on my possibilities list. Has anyone got a pair of wireless headphones that they’d strongly recommend? I’d love to hear your reaction – I’m not looking to spend anything over $100 at this point but if you’re convincing enough…I just might.
I’m actually using an RS120 headphone by Sennheiser — overall it works alright. I mean, it’s cheaper than most, so that was a perk for me at the time I got it. If you really want top quality sound though, I suggest investing a little more than a hundred bucks. Hope this helps!
