If you follow me on social media, specifically Twitter than you’ll know that I am in desperate need of two things. A fryer and headphones. And, you’d know that because on a daily basis, I tweet out “I NEED A FRYER” followed shortly by “I NEED HEADPHONES”. Why I need a fryer should come as no surprise if you’ve read any of my cooking posts. As for the headphones, think along the lines of Kids and ABBA.
Apparently I’ve been good this year, either that or Staples Canada got tired of seeing my tweets go by because I got a chance to pick a pair out for myself! Since I’m not an overly technically person and have never had quality headphones like this before, I did some research and chose Monster NCredible NTune On-Ear Headphones in Silver
Noise Isolating and Great Sound Quality
My main requirement was that they be over the ear because I don’t even know how to install the around the back of your neck ones and I get headaches with the ear bud ones. I was pretty sure that I would have to buy something that looked like two pillows attached to my head but technology has come a long way. Now, the headphones weigh only 1.7 pounds and provide incredible noise isolation. So much so that when I’m sitting right beside Ed with no music playing, I can hardly hear what he’s saying. If I’m typing, I can’t at all. And the best part is that I can listen to videos without The Kids coming over to see what I’m watching.
I’ve set the volume to the lowest setting possible and the sound quality is still loud and clear. Based on what I read and experienced, this brand is right up there with it’s competitors especially given the price point. A few other features that it has and I didn’t realize I’d want until I got it was;
- Lightweight, comfortable and easily adjustable,
- Ports on both sides so you can choose which ear to connect the cord to,
- Since there are two ports, you can connect your headphones to your device and share your music at the same time,
- ControlTalk feature, that allows you to easily control the volume, switch tracks, or even answer phone calls (compatible with Skype).
More Savings and Less Stress at Staples
Headphones like these are perfect for everyone on your gift list from young Jimmy right up to Great-Great Grandma Ethel. For under $130, you get quality without quantity, a years warranty, choice of vibrant colours and you don’t have to listen to their playlist anymore.
Speaking of which, the final reason why I needed headphones was because of my playlist. Let’s just say that Ace of Base, John Denver, Billy Holiday, ABBA, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bryan Adams and #KennyandDolly (inspired by my sister Jody at Mommy Juiced) aren’t at the top of Ed’s or The Kids playlist. But thanks to Staples and these headphones, I can have my music and listen to it too.

These headphones are nice. I prefer them to the buds and the cushioning looks comfy and sound proof (for the rest of the house)
Ooohh, these would be great to listen to Kenny and Dolly’s Christmas “album”!!!

right now its all Christmas music that is on my playlist lol But seriously my hubby could definitely use these headphones! they sound amazing
My hubby has the worst luck with headphones. Those earbuds sucks, we all know that, and the wrap around the head ones look dangerous, but I bought him a snazzy set of Sony headphones that go over the ear. They’re great, except if sitting beside him than you hear it too. Geez, I should check these out. They look ideal.

My playlist would be anything by Taylor Swift 🙂
These headphones look nice, and the price is ok, too!
Great headphones! I love #KennyandDolly
a good set of headphones should be on my son’s wishlist, but aren’t! I would also then have peace and quiet too, we might both get lucky at Christmas 🙂
These headphones are nice
I would love these headphones. They look amazing. I need something at night to I can watch TV and not wake up the whole house.
These monster incredible ear headphones sound wonderful and I would love to have them.
My playlist would include: Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Roberta Flack ,The Canadian Tenors and lots of others.
These would be great to listen to the mummers song
awesomw
These look nice and comfy
Thank you
They’re not the nicest looking headphones, I must admit :/
I don’t really listen to music! My husband and our kids do though. My kids love Kari Jobe, Amanda Falk and Lincoln Brewster. Lincoln Brewster is pretty incredible on the guitar.
I really like these headphones…I would much rather have over the ear headphones thatn the Bud type. These look really comfortable.
Headphones are a must with kids in the car… I can only hear so much Taylor Swift:)
those are sharp!!!
I think my husband would love these!
