Review: Headphones of 2013, By Splat


People love to hang out, hike, and travel, all while listening to music. There are lots of headphones out there that are simply crap, and it is hard to try find what headphones are the best. If you want to have real fun with your music then you need to look closely at the specs of headphones to know what they are capable of delivering. 

Here are some of the Top Selling Headphones of 2013, compiled by Splat.



Dre. Beats  
The music world was taken by storm with the inception of “ Dre. Beats”. The idea of Beats was actually conceived by Dr. Dre,  the world famous DJ. Why did Beats became famous? Well, the reason of popularity of Dre. Beats lies in its bold and beautiful design and the sound quality which it produces. Introducing the "fashion" factor back to the high quality headphone market. The sound that is produced by Dre. Beats headphones are really crisp, and they not crackle. They are big over-ear headphones that were manufactured with a range of sharp colors.

Dre. Beats are great fashion accessories, everyone wants them, and if you don't you are not cool. Personally, I do not have a pair. So, I guess I am not cool. Why do I not have a pair of Dre Beats? The success of the brand has left Dre. Beats at an inflated price. You can buy them for around 300. They also product a lot of "sound leakage", if you are standing beside someone listening to Dre Beats at full volume, you will be able to hear it.



Zoro Headphones 
The Zoro headphones have have to be talked about after Dre. Beats, because they were introduced into the market to compete directly with Dre. Beats, at a much cheaper price.

Inspired from the inception of Dre Beats, Zoro headphones are a best substitute of Dre Beats for those who remain on budget because of their little pockets. Check out some reviews online showing you that they are a great alternative. Zoro Headphones produce excellent quality of sound which truly matches with the quality of Dre Beats, with one exception. Zoro headphones do not produce as heavy bass on the highest volume. Zoro headphones sell for a recommended retail price of €80, but you can buy them from Splat for €65, with Free shipping to Ireland. Again, the main problem with the Zoro headphones is the "sound leakage", but you could buy 4 sets of Zoro headphones for the same price, so you know where my vote is.

Soul Headphones SL100
Soul headphones, by Ludacris make third position in our list of best headphones to carry. It is another competitor of Dre Beats and other elite headphone brands which promise to deliver excellent sound quality to the music lovers who cannot afford high priced fancy headphones but want to enjoy the beats of music at the same time. The special quality of Soul headphones is that they produce heavy bass as well. The con is they are also expensive. You can buy these luxury headphones for €110 from Splat.


This article was all about the most popular headphones available in 2013. So with which headphones you will accessorize yourselves with this year?

Review: 3 Portable Bluetooth Speaker

It is hard to go anywhere without your tunes these days, playing in the background. The problem is that we need a great speaker that can withstand drops, kicks, and can be brought anywhere. I have tried and tested lots of speakers, and have picked the 3 best rugged bluetooth portable speakers that are available in Europe today.

I will quickly review these four points for each speaker:
1. Portability
2. Sound Quality
3. Ruggedness
4. Overall Value

Veho M4 Bluetooth Speaker
The Veho M4 gets off to the best start, it looks, and feels amazing! The M4 battery life is great, giving you up to 5 hours of actual playtime. You have the choice of playing our music through bluetooth, or aux-in, or SD card. 

1. Portability: 5/5 - This is the perfect size for any portable speaker. It even fits in your hand
2. Sound Quality: 5/5 - Perfect sound quality even with high base
3. Ruggedness: 4/5 - Perfect build quality, but it is not waterproof and I would not bring this speaker to the beach. 
4. Overall Value: 5/5 - Amazing value for money. The only reason you should not buy this is if you are likely to get it wet. Click here to buy. Click here for video review.

ECOXBT Waterproof Speaker
The ECOXBT waterproof speaker will be your best friend, no matter where you go. It is 100% waterproof, so if you like listening to music while in the pool then this is the perfect speaker for you. The battery life is unbelievable, giving you up to 10 hours of playback time.

1. Portability: 4/5 - Perfect to throw into your bag, or bring on holidays
2. Sound Quality: 5/5 - This is my favorite speaker, sound quality is on par with the M4 and Jambox
3. Ruggedness: 5/5 - 100% waterproof, includes rubber surroundings
4. Overall Value: 5/5 - Ideal for adventure holidays, sitting by/in the pool, or camping.
Amazing value for money. It is amazing value if you use the waterproof feature, but if you know you won't get it wet then the value is more of a 4/5. Click here to buy Click here for video review.


Jawbone Jambox Bluetooth Speaker
The Jambox is a great portable speaker that is perfect to bring on holidays, or to leave around the house. You get up to a terrific 15 hours of playback time. 

1. Portability: 4/5 - This is a great speaker to leave at home, bring to a party, or take on holidays
2. Sound Quality: 5/5 - Perfect sound
3. Ruggedness: 3.5/5 - Perfect build quality, but it is not waterproof or very "rugged", it looks nice and you could find it hard to keep it looking new
4. Overall Value: 4/5 - Good value for money, but you are paying for the brand along with the purchase price.  the only reason you should not buy this is if you like playing heavy base music because it can move around due to the vibration. Click here to buy, Click here for video review.
