As a mother of three young boys, my days are filled with sounds of yelling and crying. I longed for the ability to achieve even just 5 minutes of quiet. With these headphones, that dream has become a reality. They were delivered here before dinner last night, which was perfect since it was right at the peak of a bloody battle over a Spider-Man Lego set. I immediately ripped open the packaging, attacking it as if filled with long-lost treasure. Using the strength that only a desperate mother can possess, I was able to tear through layers of expensive and meticulously crafted packaging to get to this godsend of a product. I immediately slipped these black and gold beauties over my ears and hit the power button. It felt like that moment that only exists as you slip from consciousness to sleep. That moment where your whole body just relaxes as your cares and worries disappear and a world of infinite possibilities lies ahead. For the first time in years, I felt some level of peace.

I set my playlist to shuffle, but my phone knows exactly what this moment calls for. As I sit waiting for the first song to play, I see my youngest come running in from the den with murder in his eyes and some kind of club in his hand. I know that great violence is imminent, but then I feel the glorious sensation of the noise-canceling feature turning on, and the screams of battle are drowned out. Then, a moment of blissful silence followed by a trip back to the 1990s. As “Backstreet’s Back, Alright!” blares into my ears, I am compelled to jump from my seat and begin dancing my cares away. The sound is so clear that it feels as if it’s coming from inside my head. As I shuffle and shimmy out of the path of a flying Buzz Lightyear, I noticed the quality of the bass. Everything sounds so perfect that it feels like I am in the room with these artists as each song comes on. When I open my eyes, I see my eldest dragging my youngest across the floor as he screams, but Mommy only hears the Thong Song. I spin and kick my leg over the flying body of my middle child, seeing him crash into the drywall, but still, the noise-canceling blocks it out. As I moonwalk away from the scene, I notice how well these headphones fit on my head. They have stayed firmly on without feeling too tight or uncomfortable. A perfect fit!

I would highly recommend these headphones to anyone with kids. Before these headphones, I would blow off steam by crying alone in the bathroom. Now I feel like I can dance away my sorrows without leaving my home. I would highly recommend this product to anyone with kids or any other noisy problems around the home!
