I have reviewed a number of earphone solutions in just about every price range; yes, I do have a problem. If it were up to me, I would try all earphones with the goal of  finding the perfect fit and sound. Earphones are an interesting product because you can find them anywhere from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars. One has to be cautious when formulating an opinion on them and make sure they are comparing apples to apples. A pair of $250 earphones should be superior to a $35 set, logically. That is not to say that a $35 earphone is not good or worth the purchase, though. I recently received the E461-BM earphones from Arctic and put them through some rigorous testing during our football playoff travel run. Arctic products have impressed me with their quality in relation to their price ranges in the past; read on to see how the E461-BM earphones stack up.

I remember the days of the cassette Walkman, when headphones were all alike. Black foam covered speakers that sat on top of the ear was pretty much the only option. Boy how these times have changed. The options for headphones have become nearly endless with in-ear and DJ style and almost every color of the rainbow available. Along with these options, we have also seen a huge increase in audio quality and comfort. Headphones have become an extension of who we are and our own personal style. Design is as important to some as sound quality and comfort. With all of this in mind, Energy Sistem is announcing a new DJ headphone designed by Porta

I had the pleasure of reviewing the Monster Turbine Pearl In-Ear Speakers this summer and still use them as my primary headphone solution for high quality audio. (You can read the review here.) Let me tell you, these things are the best earphones I have ever used-- bar none. They are so good, and let me feel like I am so fully immersed in the music experience, that they often keep me listening to music far longer than I had planned. Just in time for the holiday season, Monster is running a contest that will give all of you a chance to win some of their wonderful products. With that let us tell you about Monster's 8X iPhone 4S Sweepstakes we are co-sponsoring with the company this week.

So are the ZAGGsmartbuds worth their $79.99 price? Absolutely. They are comfortable to wear for extended periods, sound very good and, thanks to the Hangin’ Tight system, have what is probably the best cable-management system I have used. At under $80 I would say that they are not only worth their price tag but that they are a good deal to boot! The ZAGGsmartbuds have an MSRP of $79.99 and are available directly from ZAGG. And right now ZAGG is including a free dual USB car charger with purchases of over $40. What I Like: Love
