One of life’s best–and usually expensive–luxuries is a solid set of noise-canceling headphones. A quality set will typically cost upward of $300, but over at Best Buy, you can save $130 on this excellent Sennheiser headset. Normally $200, it’s on sale for $70.
This is a pretty good deal, as you’re getting a wireless Bluetooth headset with superb sound quality. While Sony and Apple’s premium headsets are superior in the noise-canceling department, at this price, you’re getting a lot of bang (but no Olufsen) for your buck. Sound has always been one of Sennheiser’s strengths, and with this model, you’re getting a headset that can make any genre of music sound pretty great.
Across low, mid, and high frequencies, you’re looking at a reliable output with crystal-clear sound. You can even use the headset for phone calls as it has a built-in microphone, but the quality on that aspect isn’t the best. It’s worth noting that the fit on this favors people with smaller ears. If you meet the criteria, it’s a comfortable headset to have strapped to your noggin for a few hours while you’re listening to your favorite albums.
With a battery life of up to 30 hours from a full charge, a compact design, and additional customization via a smartphone app, this could be a very nice and affordable gift for the audiophile in your life.
