My Thoughts

If there is one thing I can't live without, its my headphones. Being a writer, I sometimes need to lock myself away from my family so I can concentrate on my work. But four kids in a small house are hard to block out and it's easy to lose a good idea if I get distracted. So when hubby is home to watch the kids, I grab my IPod and listen to my favorite New Age artists while I write. I even proof read my manuscripts with text to speech. When I do this, a comfortable pair of headphones is a must, and the  House of Marley Uplift In-Ear Headphones are definitely the best I have tied to date.

The two most important things about headphones are sound quality and comfort, and theUplift has mastered them both. With these headphones, if you close your eyes,  you will feel like you're sitting center stage at a concert, only without all the people yelling in the background. They are great for folks who like to listen to music when they go to bed because barely notice they're in your ears. I also found they were perfect for meditation CDs because the sound is crisp and clear, and they are so comfortable it makes it easy to drift away. To make sure you have just the right fit, each pair comes with three different size pads.The cable is made of durable fabric that doesn't tangle at all and they are embellished by beautiful sapele wood to give them a little extra flare. But I think my favorite part as about these headphones is the fact that they are the only "green" ones I've ever seen. They are made partially from recycled alumnimum and even the box they come is is recycled paper.

The UpLight In-Ear Headphones from House of Marley are high performance headphones and they definitely live up to their reputation.  They even come with a cute hemp case. They would make an excellent stocking stuffer for the music lovers in your life .
