Headphones

 Jaybird’s X2 Bluetooth Wireless earbuds have been a top choice for fitness enthusiasts, and for good reason. No wires connecting to your mobile device, excellent fit, sweat-proof design, decent battery life and high quality sound. The new Jaybird Freedom earbuds take the X2’s best features to the next level, with a new micro size metal design for improved fit and sound, and a clip-on external battery for 8-hours of use between charges.

 I test a lot of headphones, and while just about any pair you get will insert music into your ears, when it comes to higher priced headphones, you want to make sure the sound quality is top notch. Do the new Sony MDR-XB950BT over-ear wireless headphones deliver?

 Do you like music that rattles your bones with the sound of thundering bass? Are you also someone that likes your music on the go and personal? Then you might appreciate the new Sony MDR-XB650BT Wireless Headphones with Extra Bass (that’s what the “XB” stands for). I got the chance to demo a pair of these new wireless phones, so read on to find out if they’re worth the good Sony audio name, and if you should be switching over to these babies.

   I rarely go anywhere without a pair of headphones on me. I guess I just live by the motto that everything in life is more fun when you’re listening to great music. Whether I’m behind my laptop, working out, or even just grocery shopping, I’m almost always tuned in. So you can imagine how excited I was to get the chance to test and review the Beats Solo 2 Wireless On-Ear Headphones. Not only are they Beats, which I’ve been itching to try, but are wireless too!    

 Music can be an essential part of your fitness experience. The very worst part?

I’ve found that pair now: The Jaybird X2 are the best Bluetooth buds I’ve used. Wanna know why? Read on to find out.

In my five years as a blogger for Best Buy, I’ve reviewed a wide variety of products. From Blu-ray disc players to low-oil fryers, I’ve had a blast testing products and reporting my findings on the Plug-In Blog. But looking back at the past year, there was one product I tested far more than any other–headphones. So I thought I’d answer a few questions that might be on your mind, summarize for you what I learned about the different types of headphones, and share some insights that might prove to be useful to you.
