#nyfw essential: the headphones

Yes, I added a new set of headphones to me collection and no, I don’t regret it.

When I first saw a pic of these headphones (on Lauren Conrad’s Instagram, obvs) I knew I needed them immediately. First of all they’re pretty, which is clearly important in my life. I wondered about sound quality because a pretty set of headphones is useless if the sound sucks SO I reached out for information from the brand and guess what…they sent me a pair! They also sent me a pair for a reader giveaway, so I surprised a reader who entered a previous giveaway (this is why you should enter — you never know when I may send out surprises!!) Congrats to Lucie in NY!

The Taylor headphones (above in rose gold) are made with actual metal – not cheap plastic – and have and angled ear post to prevent earrings from getting jammed. FINALLY! These are actually made for women because every detail aligns to what we want (great design) with a good product (the product).

The Taylor headphones are jewelry inspired and the conical ear speakers evoke such awe in public. The three button mic allows you to adjust the volume, control music and answer your phone without fumbling about. The sounds quality is nice and completely different from those used to beats bass heavy sound. I do find myself pumping up the volume more on these headphones on some songs compared to beats and SOL republic headphones that I own. What I love most is its ability to muffle out noise, and they’re SUPER lightweight and fold easily so they can fit into a small bag without fear of breaking.

These are undoubtedly cool and is the best conversation starter this fashion week season (plus, a random dude who snapped a pic of them They retail for $199 and you could buy ‘em at Apple or Best Buy.
