Able Planet HeadPhones Review and Giveaway

When my husband and I got married we were both pretty young. We wanted to have a fantastic honeymoon so we decided to have a smaller wedding so that we could put more money away for our vacation getaway to Mexico. The flight going down there was great, a little loud but nothing we couldn’t handle. However on the way back, it was a whole other experience. The whole 2 1/2 hour flight back from Cancun we were stuck on the plane with a large group of teenagers who weren’t ready for the party to end. To make matters worse when we landed the nightmare continued for another hour as we were trapped on the runway unable to get off the plane. By the time we made our way out of the airport my head hurt so bad and I vowed from that moment on, I would never board an airplane without some sort of earplugs or headphones.

Recently I was sent the AblePlanet True Fidelity Active Noise Canceling Headphones and it could not have come at a better time considering our big trip in September.

The ideal performance for high end audio is the accurate reproduction of the “Live” experience. Current audio technologies struggle to replicate this experience, because bass sounds mask high tones making your music sound muddled and speech difficult to hear. Award-Winning Linx Audio® creates a “Live” experience with full rich base sounds, clear high tones and intelligible speech that enables you to Hear the Difference®

The Headphones arrived in a nice black cushioned carrying case. I was surprised to see how small it was considering the size of the headphones but they fold up making storage easy.

The headphones are very soft and extremely comfortable on your head. I love the fact that these don’t hurt my ears. The ear buds that I have now that came with my iPod are not very comfortable and I can only wear them for about 20 minutes at time. These headphones are the perfect size because they cushion around your ear so that it’s almost like your not even wearing headphones.

My husband was the first to really test out how well the headphones work and he was stunned by the quality of sound that he immediately wanted me to listen to his iPhone with these headphones. When I put them on, I could not hear anything but the music that was playing. He was right in front of me saying something and I couldn’t hear a word he was saying. I only had the volume up about 50%!

This set also comes with a handy zippered pocket where you can store your adapters including one that is specially made for airplanes. The quality of sound is unlike anything that I have heard on head phones before. The sound is crisp and I can’t wait to take these with me on the plane to Disney World! If you travel at all for business or travel or you just want an excellent pair of headphones I highly recommend you check this out for yourself. They are amazing.

Hey There Funsavingmoney,
I was wondering on a similar note,, Yes, we must do something today to save school band plus music programs from disappearing forever. At SAVE SCHOOL MUSIC we are shopping for your support from donations and volunteering. Music in the universities plus music inside the community are closely connected together. We must enrich the communities with music plus the universities to enjoy for generations to come! Check out SAVE SCHOOL MUSIC for more information.
Nice One!
There are ways we can stragically use to strengthen instrumental music’s bond in our communities and our schools.
Thanks for getting involved!
Kurt Thompson
