Knitted Headphone Earmuffs

Knitted Headphone Earmuffs


It may be cold, but we all love a Winter walk. Toddling along with a cosy scarf around your neck, a nice pair of mittens and a snazzy pair of ear muffs.
You couldn’t be happier – or could you? If you go for a solitary walk, it can get a little bit – well, lonely. A bit of music should remedy that though.
Trouble is, as soon as you pop a pair of earphones in, you sacrifice keeping your ears warm. You could always pull a woolly hat over your ears, but the hat will eventually start pushing your earphones into your head, plus you’ll look like a bit of an idiot too.
Isn’t it a shame that they don’t make musical earmuffs – oh wait a minute, they do! The Knitted Headphone Earmuffs feature adjustable earphones, a detachable headphone cable, 40mm drivers, 40khz-20khz frequency response and a lovely soft and fluffy lining for superb ear comfort.
The earmuffs are available in a variety of colours, including black, white, turquoise, pink and purple. You can also buy them with an in-built microphone, so if you decide to listen to some music on your iPhone or Android device, you can take calls too.
Well it is important to stay in touch during the festive period. You know what the best thing about them is though, don’t you? They look awesome! They are the ultimate knitted accessory.
The Knitted Headphone Earmuffs are available now and can be bought for as little as £10 – what a bargain!

Sony Headphones Might be the Best Stocking Stuffer for Music Lovers

This morning she took down a pair of Sony (NYSE: SNE [FREE Stock Trend Analysis]) Stereo Headphones (MDR-V150) and accidentally pulled apart one of the earpieces. The headphones were cheap – roughly $19 from FYE (minus $2 with the discount card), so I wasn't too worried. But to my surprise, the earpiece was meant to be taken apart. The cord was still attached, so I snapped the earpiece back into place, put the headphones back on, and discovered that the music was STILL playing! Through BOTH sides!

By comparison, I spent $30 (sale price) on a pair from Maxell – one of Hitachi's (NYSE: HIT) subsidiaries – that died after two weeks of normal use. The cord was thin, cheap, and fell out of its socket with the weakest of tugs. If the old price tag is to be believed, the Maxell headphones originally sold for $90.
This $19 pair of Sony headphones, on the other hand, has been dropped, stepped on, rolled over with several desk chairs, and encountered a one-on-one battle with Bear. And it still works like new!
For the price, durability, and decent sound quality, Sony is an easy pick for audio stocking stuffers.
Note that that the headphones are currently out of stock at FYE.com. Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) does not currently sell the MDR-V150 model, but you can buy a pair from one of one of Amazon's sellers for $29.98. BestBuy.com (NYSE: BBY) offers a similar model for $19.99.
