How often have you traveled and wished your headphones drowned out the noise around you and made the experience more enjoyable? Not everyone can afford $400 noise canceling headphones when traveling, but most people can afford a good pair around $100. I am someone who listens to music at least 10 hours per day and always looking for the best inexpensive headphones. This article will take a look at 3 of my top picks for traveling headphones that are around the $100 mark, and perform brilliantly for the price.
1. Bose- In-Ear Headphones
The Bose in-ear-headphones made this list for a whole host of reason including, price, sound quality, weight, and ease of use. This pair of Bose headphones is not noise canceling, but they do provide a great unique listening experience due to the way the rubberized tips seem to perfectly fit into the ear. The headphones hit the high and low notes very well and they also provide an excellent deep bass for a great listening experience. As mentioned earlier these are not noise canceling headphones or over the ear headphones; therefore the sound quality is not on the same level as the more expensive noise canceling headphones by the same company. These are the best in ear headphones on the market for the budget minded traveler, and can be found for $89.99 at www.bestbuy.com.
2. HP Stereo Bluetooth Headphones
The HP Bluetooth stereo headphones offer excellent sound quality and active noise cancellation at a reasonable price. At only $112 these headphones are Bluetooth compatible, which is perfect for Blackberry, iPhone and iTouch users, as well as many other Bluetooth compatible music players.The wireless Bluetooth coupled with the noise canceling technology makes these headphones a real winner for travel; they also couple the ear for a better listening experience without headphone tips going into the ear canal. These headphones are great because they do not have wires, and has great sound quality and an excellent bass. This product can be found at www.buy.com.
3. TriPortose TriPort Headphones by Bose
The TriPortose TriPort headphones are one of the best non noise canceling traveling headphones on the market near the $100 price tag. They have comfortable over the hear cups which are softly lined for extra comfort. These headphones are great for travel since they are lightweight and sound great; although not sound proof, I can safely say they block a good majority of outside sound, and I have used this par extensively. The headphones come with a small drawstring bag for easy travel and safety of the headphones. The sound quality is very clear no matter what music are listening to; you will never go back to your regular headphones after trying these. The bass is good, but could be better. For a price tag of $125.99 on www.newegg.com these headphones are worth the money and can compete well with some of the higher priced models.
