2012 HOLIDAY GIFT IDEA – REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY – Sol Republic Tracks Ultra On-Ear Headphones

If you saw my Sol Republic Tracks Headphones review from October 2011, you know I really liked those headphones. Well, I was fortunate enough to be able to try out Sol Republic’s newest product – Tracks Ultra On-Ear Headphones.

MY THOUGHTS

I received a pair of Sol Republic Tracks Ultra On-Ear headphones. The headphones are easy to put together. Just slide the ear cushions onto the head strap, then plug the cables in.

I love these headphones, they have an even fuller sound than the Sol Republic Tracks Headphones. The sound is great loud, and even better really loud. Plus, you can change the headband and cables to suit your own personal taste. I like that these head phones come with a light sleeve to hold everything together while traveling or for storage. The cushion on these headphones is just as soft and comfortable as those on the original Tracks headphones, they are really comfortable on your ears. There’s no outside sound interference like you usually find with ear buds and some on-ear headphones,which makes the sound even better. I would happily recommend these headphones to anyone looking for On-Ear Headphones with a clean and clear full-bodied sound. As such, they are definitely a must for inclusion in this year’s Mom Knows It All Holiday Gift Guide.

Sol Republic Tracks Ultra On-Ear Headphones retail for $179.99.
