Technology never ceases to amaze me, for every time I turn around, there's another bigger and better gadget or electronic device released which blows away its predecessors.   In my opinion, one of the biggest improvements that all new technology seems to share is the mind-blowing audio these devices are capable of.

Of course, it's not feasible to blast your stereo, iPod or gaming system to appreciate the state-of-the-art audio unless you happen to have an equally impressive set of headphones.  That's where Audiovox comes in.  I recently had the chance to review one of their newest headsets, the 808 Drift.  Keep reading to learn more!

When I first received the 808 Drift headphones, I immediately loved the overall design of the headphones themselves.  The 808 Drift provides a perfect blend of optimal sound performance, comfort, and ultimate on-the-go portability with a unique, stylish design for all your audio needs.  The studio-quality 808 Drift headphones allow you to listen to your music the way it was intended to be heard. The way the artist hears it is the way you'll hear it.

Just look at the many features of this well-designed headset:

• Foldable Design
• Pivots for Single-Ear Monitoring
• Tangle-Free Flat Cables
• Noise-Isolating On-Ear Design
• Soft Form-Fitting Padding
• Driver: 36mm (Dynamic Range)
• Sensitivity: 100 dB +/- 3 dB
• Rated Power: 20mW
• Max Power: 50mW
• Impedance: 32 Ohm

I've always been a huge fan of the classic headphone style, for earbuds never deliver true quality sound, in my opinion.  Unfortunately, the typical headset usually ends up squishing your ears and head before long and are uncomfortable to wear after a short while.  But when I wore the 808 Drift headphones, I couldn't get over how comfortable they were!  This headset is extremely lightweight and the ear pads, being constructed of breathable, ultra-soft memory-foam, were definitely a delight.  I barely felt like I had any earphones on at all and could wear these comfortably for hours!

But most importantly, the 808 Drifts deliver sound as phenomenal as their design.  I started out listening to my iPod for just a few minutes to test out the sound, but thirty minutes later, I was still jamming because the tunes sounded so great!  The bass was thumping and the highs were crisp and clean.  Of course, the beauty of the classic headphones style is that the ear pieces also muffle out the surrounding room noise so that you can truly escape into the audio experience.  :rock:

As I'm sure you can tell by now, I am completely enamored with the 808 Drift headphones from Audiovox!  If you are looking for a terrific way to plug in and tune out all of the distractions around you, both at home or on-the-go, then I highly recommend purchasing a pair of these headphones!
