Headphones

There are times when an audio system's whole purpose is to blow your door off its hinges, break every window in the house and have your eardrums slap together in the middle of your skull. But, when the kids are asleep or the neighbors are home, you may have to set your electronics so they can't be heard on Mars. For such times, headphones are a good investment. Actually, considering what you pay, everything you buy at Overstock.com is a good investment.

Kidding aside, audio accessories make life better by allowing each person their own audio in their own space. If you work in a team office, you don't have to draw lots for the radio station of the day or suffer when you lose. Computer headphones, also called computer headsets, allow each team member their piece of the Internet's vast audio catalog. And you don't even have to bring an audio system from home--it's right there on your computer!

At home, you might want to listen in private or crank up your home theater without disturbing anyone else. No big deal, plug in your headphones and go. But wait, you have laundry, dishes and other stuff to do. You need mobility. You need wireless headphones. It is so convenient to get all that great audio without trailing audio cables everywhere you go. Quality of new headphone models is almost equal to surround sound speakers and cordless headphones get more comfortable every year.

Of course, some people are specialists, professionals like DJs. These people need pro-grade DJ headphones. Studio headphones, the ones used by recording artists, are the top end--light, powerful and high tech. But, in addition, for the regular jobsite, every DJ needs good noise canceling headphones. Noise canceling headphones use audio science to remove unwanted sounds from the DJ's hearing, leaving just the music and the crowd--which is why they got into that business in the first place, right? Regardless of the type you need, or the quantity, get your headphones at Overstock.com--where "retail" is not a polite word and every order ships for $2.95, no matter the quantity.
