BLACKBOX M14 Noise Cancellation Headphones
These are serious headphones. And thank goodness, because (I can finally say it out loud), I am sick of earbuds. No self-respecting audiophile (or music-enthusiast, for that matter!) can afford not to invest in a pair of quality headphones, especially in an age where we have already sacrificed music quality for the sake of compacting our record collections into the most dreaded devices of modern convenience (or, to the laymen, Mp3 players). We cannot afford to boil down our sacred listening experiences any further, and this newest release from Blackbox offers a way for even the most discerning audio-snobs to have their cake and eat it too. Technical features include full-range stereo sound through Neodymium “Super-driver” sound, active noise cancellation through patent-pending ANR technology and high-fidelity frequency response. If you’re like me, and you’re not really sure what any of that means, trust me when I say that, simply, these babies are goooood.  I prefer to see audio equipment as a vehicle (rather than the main event); a way to take the ride. To test-drive premium equipment, it is important to choose premium music, and I do: the newly released compilation from Daptone Records, Daptone Gold, is the perfect full-bodied, soulful sound track to put my high expectations to the test. The outcome is crystal-clear, warm, stereo-quality sound, and unlike other premium brands I’ve tried, these headphones equalize the bass nicely so as not to drown out the treble (which is especially important if you listen to a lot of funk, hip-hop or Primus). Seemingly designed for a target-market of jet-setting audiophiles (and I mean quite literally music-lovers who travel often by air), the M14 headphones are not just top quality, but tailored for an age of convenience as well - they are sleek, compact, comfortable, and come with a handsome, hard-shell travel case! At the steep price of $249, these are for serious consumers – however – Blackbox is so confident in their product, they offer a 30-day money back guarantee when you buy online. Visit www.blackboxonline.com for more information to order a pair in time for February 14th. Nothing says “I love you” like a pair of $249 headphones!
