I use my headphones every day. Walking around the city, on the subway, and now that I’m back to cubicle living – I use them during work. Given their omnipresent role in my life – I decided that the white default ear plugs that never really fit inside my ears needed to go.

My only research was trying them once before … and I loved them. So, I splurged for the Bose. I love the ear cushiness and the fantastic sound. But now that they’re a true possession, I realize the wonderful bonus that comes with this new member to my technological family is … drum roll please … the black leather case! It’s fantabulous enough to hold my iPod and the fancy ‘phones and it sort of justifies the price.
