In case you haven’t noticed, the headphones that come pre-bundled with your iPod, cellphone or any other music player leave a lot to be desired. Thankfully, there are many different options out there for premium earphones and you don’t have to break the bank to get into this market.

All day I’ve been in one of those moods where everything and everyone I want to see is nowhere near me, and I can’t do anything about it. I miss my other half, I miss my best friend, I miss being able to drive whenever I want, I miss a lot of stuff.
