quality-of-headphones-spotify

If you are listening to music through a pair of headphones jacked into your computer, you’re not experiencing music to the fullest. Want truly superb audio? Get yourself a record player and a high-end setup. That said, due to convenience, most of us still listen the former way. But that doesn’t mean you can’t optimize the experience. This curated Spotify playlist is designed to check the quality of the headphones you’re using so you can make sure those cans are doing the best they can in a bad situation. The music spans genres, with Aphex Twin seguing into Pink Floyd, Elvis Costello giving way to Bela Fleck, and CeeLo ushering you into a track from Rage Against the Machine. Hell, even if you don’t want to see what your cans are picking up, this is a playlist to add to the great Spotify playlists you have saved.

Unzip your coat and have some mulled wine on the house—you’ve arrived at your final gifting destination: The Holiday Gift Guide. It’s like your friendly neighborhood one-stop holiday shop, except instead of balsa wood ornaments, ours is packed with thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list. Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
