Check out these weird things!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t usually allow my whoring for Amazon to sully my own blog, or even my occasional FB posts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I\u2019m making a minor exception for these headphones \u2018cause I really quite like them. In a way they\u2019re nowt special. They\u2019re just a pair of \u2018sports headphones\u2019. There are loads out there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018off axis\u2019 design aspect, where they hook over one\u2019s ears and have a headband at the rear of one\u2019s noggin, not over the top of the cranium, I\u2019ve seen before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what\u2019s fresh for me, regarding these, is that they\u2019re not in or over the ear, but rather \u2018induction\u2019 style: they sit slightly forward of one\u2019s ears. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not sure if there are two speakers per side, or poss even more? The main thing, however, is that they leave one\u2019s lugs open and free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes you want closed-back speakers, to block out the outer world. But at others, the ability to listen to music – or to take a phone call (these also do that) – and yet remain aware of one\u2019s surroundings can be great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These also feel almost invisible. I wore them all day today. Ordinary headphones, or even ear-buds, I\u2019d take off when not listening to music. I felt comfy leaving these in situ. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do t think these are super high quality. And I hope they\u2019ll last a decent length of time. I.e. I\u2019m afeared they might prove to be cheap tat! That\u2019d be terrifically disappointing, as these rather suit me – not visually, necessarily (you be the judge!) – but user-friendliness wise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier the same day\u2026 a first fitting\/try out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In terms of audio quality there distinctly average, or plain ok. Neither horribly cheaply tinny, nor jaw-dropping my great. Just got for porpoise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t listen to music as much not as obsessively as I used to. But when I do listen, these may become my go to, for a while. And they\u2019re good for fielding calls as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These were Amazon Vine freebies. I get them for nowt. But I have to leave a review on Amazon UK\u2019s website. I get tons of stuff. Very rarely do I like summat enough to share it here. In fact this is, I think (?), a first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think they\u2019re currently (at the time of posting) about \u00a329-30. Everything seems expensive to me! But in real world terms, and at today\u2019s prices, that neither. Wry cheap nor super expensive. I\u2019m just chuffed mine were free! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a link<\/a> to them. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
