My friend and colleague Shayne may lead you to think otherwise, but don’t limit your Diwali shopping to MP3 players! They make wonderful gifts, it's true, but remember that a pair of good headphones can prove to be a great gift too, especially if the intended recipient happens to be a music lover.
After a lot of deliberation I thought of taking this idea a step further. Lights and sweets apart, we all know how hard Diwali can be on our ears. For music lovers this can mean a serious infringement of personal space. If all those firecrackers are interfering with that guitar bend in your favorite song while you're walking home, here's the perfect solution – well, almost the perfect solution!
What we have covered here are five products that offer peace and calm in the noisiest of environments. Remember, whenever you are listening to music amidst raucous surroundings, you tend to hike up the volume. This can damage your eardrums permanently. So why not read on to find out about some devices that can make life a little more peaceful?
Logitech Noise Cancellation Headphones
I know Logitech is one name that would never occur to you when buying headphones, but trust me; they have gone ahead got themselves something worth talking about. This noise cancellation pair works well with any MP3 player, PMP and suchlike, and also offers great noise canceling technology.
To begin with, it’s really not as expensive as other products available in the market that offer noise canceling. To top it all, this pair offers good sound. You will need one AAA-sized battery to charge the noise cancellation system. Just slip them on and you can stop worrying about loud firecrackers.
Okay, I exaggerated. The pair works well when reducing annoying high-frequency noises, but let me assure you no noise-cancellation kit can offer complete silence. However, if at any point of time you need to talk to someone, just switch it off and you are ready to go.
Made for maximum portability, you can fold them in place into the carry case provided with the product. For good measure they have bundled an airplane earphone adapter that makes it a complete travel companion. It costs Rs 9,995, and with good reason.
I have bought Shure's SE530 few days back. Oh boy!!!! the music is totallllly unbelivable. I started even listnening to the songs which I used skip previously. These are my little diamonds and i have attained musical niravana :)
