whether you want to listen closer to your favorite tunes or just wish to shut out the hustle bustle of the city traffic noise, a pair of good headphones might be just what you will need. as an advocator of style, we’d go for something like the SOL REPUBLIC Tracks headphones cos’ a good sound reproduction is never enough. available in the standard Tracks ($99.99) that features V8 sound engine speakers and Tracks HD ($129.99), which offers HD-sound via its V10 High-Definition Sound Engine – both which are SOL REPUBLIC’s proprietary speaker system – these beautiful sound cans features switchable cables, a tough “Sound Track” headband, and a 3-button remote with microphone that works with your iDevices. naturally, the headphones will work just fine with all phones and audio players with 3.5mm audio-out jack and the microphone is also compatible with almost all Android and Blackberry devices. if you have a little more cash to spare, you can also opt to customize these cans with lively colors through Colorware (from $225).
