Marley In-Ear Headphones, Reviving the Warmth


The packaging alone is sure to catch your attention.
But there's more beneath the fancy facade.
Most law students find it hard to study when it's noisy. That was the case when I was still a law student. And it even finds more urgency now that I'm studying for the bar exams. One reason to shut off the noise is to plug in a set of earphones and listen to music. I do this all the time especially in the library when people talk like they're in the cafeteria. I previously used the iPhone earphones. To be honest, it isn't really that effective in isolating noise.

However, the days of settling for less is over because I recently purchased a pair of Marley In-Ear Headphones. Here are the things I like about this product:

1. You won't hear the world around you. It has noise-isolation features that is perfect for noisy environments (especially libraries!). This will allow you to focus on what you are reading instead of being distracted by the chit chat of other people. Just be conscious cause you might be the one causing the noise already!

You won't find wood in most earphones today.
2. Unique design. Most headphones nowadays are made of plastic and look the same. Marley's headphones look totally different from any other headphone in the market today not only because of its reggae-inspired design, but also because the earpiece itself is made of wood. The fabric covered cord will also get other people's attention. And most of all, the design was inspired by Bob Marley's music.

3. Bass, bass and lots of bass. You'll be surprised of how much bass you've been missing from your iPhone earphones. The amount of bass is just right for you to still hear the other instruments. In other words there is no drowning-out effect.

4. Bose-like quality. Bose prides itself in letting you hear everything that was recorded in the studio -- from the subtlest guitar effect to the faintest backup vocals. And this is not just marketing hype. I know this for a fact cause I have a Bose headphone and has confirmed it while listening to Radiohead songs. Case in point is that, in stores, Bose will let you listen to Norah Jones' songs, which has lots of subtle sounds and layers, while Beats by Dr. Dre will play Maroon 5 songs, wherein the bass almost drowns out the other instruments. Marley's headphones are not as good as Bose's but it's very near and with a more affordable price to boot.

5. It evokes emotions. Most of our gadgets today are too industrial looking. There's no warmth. Just pure functionality and Tron-like aesthetics. In this regard, this headphone is a breath of fresh air. It is mostly made of natural materials, comes in warm colors, and makes you reminisce about the days of casette tapes, walkmans, and vinyl players.

This is one of the coolest pouches I've ever seen.
6. Cool pouch. This pouch not only protects the headphone and prevents the cord from tangling, it also looks nice!

In sum, Marley's In-Ear Headphones are perfect for people who want to drown themselves in music and be oblivious to the world around them.
