Review:

• iFrogz EarPollution DJ Style
• OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro
• Able Planet Clear Harmony Headphones

The Able Planet Clear Harmony Headphones are a great traveling headphones with all the accessories it comes with. But, the Clear Harmony is an expensive product, and Able Planet has yet to establish a reputation on the high end audio field. The headphones go for $215.18 on Amazon.com. The good thing is that the Clear Harmony active noise-canceling headphones offer dramatic noise reduction and a rich listening experience. Great for musicians.

Don’t forget about Speck’s MacBook Air SeeThru discount!
