7 Smart earbuds that do more than just play music

  • Which headphones are by far the best in 2018? If you are an audiophile, headphones are definitely something to consider. Here is a list of our recent favorites of 2018.
  • Fun fact about earbuds you probably didn’t know: Science fiction author Ray Bradbury had referred to “Seashell radios” in his novel Fahrenheit 451. According to the novel, “…[a]nd in her ears the little Seashells, the thimble radios tamped tight, and an electronic ocean of sound, of music and talk and music and talk coming in, coming in on the shore of her unsleeping mind.”
