Living in a loft like ours means making a lot of compromises on the entertainment + media we get to play around the house. If I want to listen to a podcast while working on my needlepointing, if Huck wants to watch cartoons but we want to watch a "grown up" movie, if I want to listen to music but Brandon has a conference call, or if Brandon is snoring and I'm having a hard time falling asleep and need some extra-concentrated white noise power, haha, well. We haul out the ear buds.
We have many, many pairs of earbuds floating around the house. Sometimes we get a little territorial over them? I've been known to stash a secret set under my pillow so Brandon can't take them to work. For a while we had two identical sets going but only one was working all the way--the other was missing sound in the right ear bud--and Brandon and I went back and forth covert-ops style for weeks over that one, swapping out the busted set for the working set when we thought the other wasn't looking. It gets pretty tense around here. We're the same way with the last Diet Coke in the fridge. Survival of the fittest!
Verizon sent us a pair of Powerbeats by Dr Dre to try out, and we've had a lot of fun fighting over sharing them (lol). Major street cred with the Beats, and thank you for that, Dre + Lebron, because street cred is not something I come by otherwise. :) They're sun + sweat resistant, lightweight, and durable enough to withstand punishing work outs. Such as when Brandon takes them to the gym, and when I use them while I do needlepoint . . . on the couch . . . intensely. The sound quality is great, dual drivers separate bass + treble for super accurate audio so so you can catch every cultural reference on Gilmore Girls even when Lorelai is talking at full Gilmore speed, they're comfortable enough to wear to bed for when you need that white noise app running at full power--and I don't have to worry about accidentally strangling myself in my sleep with my earbud cords anymore, hah!
Look how strenuous that is! I have such stamina.
I get to give away a pair of Powerbeats by Dr Dre to two of you lucky ducks today! An $180 value! I'm so excited for this!

Ooh! Please pick me! My husband goes through earbuds like it's his job...
ReplyDeleteMy first Beats by Dre were a birthday gift from my brother, and I've never looked back! They've been to eight countries and 21 U.S. states with me. They've streamed break up and celebratory soundtracks alike into my ears. They've been with me at the pool as I amp myself for a race, and they've accompanied me to work to ensure that the other people surrounding me in our open floor plan don't want me to please go away. A new set of Powerbeats by Dr. Dre will have many people and places ahead of it if I'm the recipient! Plus, Verizon, I've been with you since 1999!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win these, Natalie!
I'd love a sturdy new pair!
ReplyDeleteI am well-versed in the spouse-battle-of-the-earphones... These beauties would make my adventures home from work way more pleasant, having my music hands-free whilst I am laden with arms of groceries and cords getting tangled in everything, all the while trying to find my house keys! Great giveaway, my fingers are crossed!
ReplyDeleteYes yes yes please!

when we went into the Verizon Wireless store earlier this month to ask them a question about hubby's phone my 13 yr old went with us and she was drooling over the headphones since she's been wanting a pair to go with her iphone for awhile now. Thanks for the chance and enjoy the rest of the weekend! I tweeted as well :)
