Beyerdynamic

While we aren’t down with the muffling of sound that this winter trick is sure to result in, when we came across this article on CNET we knew we had to share – Turn your headphones into earmuffs. If you’re the type of guy or gal that loves tackling fun and functional projects, this might be something to try your hand at, especially with the temperatures diving into the single digits for many parts of the country.

According to Grissini’s steps on Instructables.com for creating “Muff-Fones,” you can “hack some headphones into a spare pair of earmuffs” in just a few steps. We would never recommend doing this to a sweet set of the high-quality headphones available at Earphone Solutions, but if you have an old, off-brand set you aren’t using anyway, this could make for an interesting Saturday afternoon.

The necessary ingredients for this recipe of snuggly sound are simple enough – earmuffs and headphones. And while we recommend going cheap on the headphones as you’ll be taking them apart a bit, we recommend opting for a decent pair of earmuffs. After all, the point of the project is to keep you warm and toasty while listening to tunes in the shivery days of winter. Go super cheap on the earmuffs themselves and you’re wasting your time! A few tools are necessary as well, and some careful attention to detail and safety, but overall the earmuff mod doesn’t look to be very time intensive at all.

Another upside to keeping your ears cradled in the comfort of Muff-Fones while outdoors is that you might just find yourself appreciating the crisp, clean unfiltered sounds of your everyday Beyerdynamic headphones or Sennheiser headphones even more. The first note you hear once you’re warm indoors will be like the first bite of a premium, Grade A burger after a week of fast food!

Here at Earphone Solutions, we are always working hard to not only bring you the best earphones and headphones available, but also to offer you the information you need to feel confident you’ve made the right choice, and make the earphones and headphones that are best suited to your needs easy to find. We take notice of how our customers are navigating our site so we can continue to make improvements and adjustments when necessary, and taking notice gives us a sneak peek at what’s going on in the wonderful world of audio! What do we mean exactly? Let us explain…

As we mentioned above, we like to make it as easy as possible for everyone to find the best earphone solution to suit their needs. Some people prefer to shop by brand if they have a favorite or have read good reviews of a particular set. Others prefer to shop by price if they are looking for the best pair that matches their budget. Others shop by Best Earphones, others by lifestyle, and others still prefer to browse our earphones by type – and it is those ‘by type’ others we’ve been seeing a lot of this week! What are they looking for, you might ask? They are looking for the best gaming headphones. And we think we might know why!

When the iPhone 4S release was announced just over a month ago, just like you, we were more than well aware. But even if we hadn’t known, we would have as soon as we looked at how people were shopping our site. Our iPhone Earphones category was the most popular kid in the class as people prepared to outfit their new iPhones with the best set of buds. And while people are certainly still looking for iPhone earphones, those looking for gaming headphones aren’t far behind! What would cause this recent surge in popularity? For one, the holidays are on the near horizon. Premium headphones and earphones are a popular holiday gift for audiophiles and casual listeners alike, so that is surely part of the answer. But we think it might also have to do with a little game you might have heard of named Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. From what we’ve heard, it’s kind of a big deal!

When wildly popular new games like those in the Call of Duty series hit stores, the effects are felt across many avenues. I have a few friends that take a vacation day when a Call of Duty video game hits the stores, and chances are good that many of you reading this do as well (or are one of those people yourself!) These games can be as much about the sounds as they are the visuals, and wearing premium gaming headphones while playing can let you more fully immerse yourself in the experience, escaping the world for a while to really get down to the business of gaming. After all, when you’re really committed to beating a game, it’s as though winning is your call of duty.

What’s even better than clicking the ‘Add To Cart’ button on those headphones you’ve been eager to buy? Winning them for free! A shiny new set of Beyerdynamic T70 Headphones could be yours with a simple entry in our current contest. A $669 value, the T70s bring the crystal-clear highs and ultra-deep bass you love. Let’s just say listening to Nicki Minaj’s Super Bass or anything by Jeff Buckley or Mika will have your ears doing a happy dance.

Beyerdynamic’s T70 headphones bring the ultimate in performance with the help of fully metal sound transducers. The closed design also works to bring you a supreme, luxurious listening experience by efficiently axing ambient noise. Whether you’re looking to tune out the world for a relaxing mini-vacation in your mind wherever you are, or need to drown out the din of the office so you can focus on your work and be creative and productive, T70s have your back when they’re on your ears!

But we know we don’t have to go on and on about what makes these headphones so great. We don’t have to highlight their supremely soft micro velour-covered headband and ear pads, or the fine German-engineering. What you want to know is how to make them yours for free, so we’ll get to that now!
