Gadget Reviews & Giveaway: Monster Lil' Jamz Headphones
"When you're down in troubles
And you need some love and care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon i will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night" - Carole King
OK, so maybe I'm a little TOO excited about the new James Taylor - Carole King tour (and yes, maybe I am showing my age), but music takes me to a place that's wonderful. Whether it be Elvis Costello or Straight on 'til Morning (Bro' B's old band), listening is a totally personal experience. It takes me back to my youth or celebrates how I still feel young at 56. It reminds me of happy times, celebrations, sad times and more. Music can be the impetus of my choreography, writing or just a way to relax.
Did you know that your headphones can make the difference between sounding like the music is coming through a tin can and "being there?" I never really paid much attention to it before, having used the earbuds that came with my mp3 player (oh and the earphones that they gave me on the plane - UGH). I tend to be tough on these little things, so I couldn't justify spending a lot of money on a earbuds that I'd break.
Are you hesitant to purchase quality electronics because your kids might break them? Problem solved...

Lil Jamz headphones by Monster
have all metal housing with a hard black chrome finish making them virtually indestructible! In addition, these small lightweight in-ear headphones are perfect for kid’s on-the-go who can be a little rough with their belongings. Great sound and durability make this the perfect headphone. I have to say that I'm VERY familiar with the Monster brand, having been the mom of a rocker for many years. I think that I shelled out money for more Monster cables over the years - mostly, because they always provided the BEST quality. There headphones are no different. Monster has always made the finest professional headphones, cables and equipment - and they've taken ALL of that GREAT QUALITY and KNOWLEDGE of sound and packed them into a GREAT pair of in-ear headphones.
What I like about them? THEY FIT INTO YOUR EAR COMFORTABLY. I have a real problem getting ear buds to fit. They create pressure against my ears that is usually painful. These Lil'Jamz are small enough to fit COMFORTABLY in my ear and at the same time provide BIG SOUND. With sound so REAL you'll feel like you're THERE with the artists.
Because Monster Lil' Jamz are made in ONE PIECE they don't resonate—so all you hear is the music—with no artificial vibrations to pollute the sound. That’s why the music is crystal clear and razor sharp. The bass is super tight. Plus, these little babies are nearly indestructible. Of course they have those great Monster cables and gold plugs that Monster is famous for. Needless to say, I'm tossing out my old tinny sounding headphones and switching over to Monster Lil' Jamz.
I'm thinking that these would be a GREAT Valentine's Day gift for the music lover in your life, whether they be young or old (like me). While you're at it, you might want to grab a pair for yourself!
Monster is also running a great DJ contest for the headphones right now! If a family friend or family member DJ's, be sure to let them know they can enter Monster's I am a Monster DJ contest for the chance to be included on the packaging of the 'Lil Jamz, plus win $600 in Monster DJ gear + more! http://www.liljamz.com/
