Clothing/Earphone Hybrid Technology: Rusty Wired Series
If you ‘re like me, someone who likes to listen to music on the go, you may hate having to deal with your headphone cord constantly getting in the way and getting tangled. Thanks to this new innovation by the surfboard company Rusty, you won’t have to deal with that problem any more. As you can tell in the picture, they have created a line of jackets with built in earphones, and with earphone cords that are attached to the drawstrings of the jacket. More accurately, the earphone cords are the drawstrings of the jacket. The pocket of the jacket houses the headphone jack, so all you need is your music player and you’re good to go. Now this is cool and all, but… how are you supposed to wash it? The Wired Series jackets require a special cleaning technique. That special technique is called “Put It In the Washing Machine”. Yeah, the whole thing is machine washable, including the headphones. Unfortunately, your music player probably isn’t, so don’t make the mistake of leaving it in there.
These jackets come in a number of different styles, so you’re not just limited to hoodies. You can get more information about them here.
The Best Headphones Under $20…And How to Make Them Even Better
For those of you looking to replace those headphones that you have now with something better, but won’t break the bank, let me suggest the JVC Marshmallows. You can find these on Amazon for even less than $15, and in my opinion, that is a great deal for the quality that these headphones provide. What makes these headphones so great? Well first off, these are noise isolating IEMs, and they do a great job at blocking outside noise. I can comfortably listen to my music at low to mid volume, even when riding the train, which can get pretty loud. Also, if you like bass, these headphones have bass…a lot of bass. Actually, these have more bass than my ATH M50 headphones, which cost me a bit over $100. Now I am not saying that the JVC Marshmallows are better than a $100 pair of headphones, because at less than $15, you can’t expect them to be, but the amount of bass in these is quite surprising. Unfortunately, because of the bass, some songs can sound kind of muddy. But wait, there is a solution to this! That solution can be found here. I’ve tried it myself, and it is a huge improvement in my opinion. I sometimes even prefer to listen to my music on my JVC Marshmallows rather than my more expensive pair of headphones! You can even choose from a number of different colors to suit your taste.The JVC Marshmallows are great headphones at a great price. You can’t go wrong with buying a pair of these.
