Watch out Airpods, There's a New Type of Headphone In Town

There are so many ways to listen to music now that it is hard to find what is best for you. Whether it be earbuds, Air pods, over the ear headphones, regular headphones, there are too many options to choose from. One that I recently came across was the Bose sunglasses that built-in speakers.

After reading the reviews, I have been learning that they are still working on figuring out how to best size the glasses. The Alto option is the classic boxy look that allows for them to be the go-to choice for many of the buyers. The reviews revealed, however, that they seem to be too big for most people's heads to the point that they begin to start slipping down their nose as they are talking.

The other option, the Rondo frames, seemed to be what people ended up getting once they realized the Alto was too big for their head. They are a more retro look but seemed to look great on most head shapes. The customers say that the sound is amazing for being so small and discreet. Some of the reviews did say that others around them could hear the music, but others say that no one around them can hear the music at all. I guess it would probably depend on how loud you are playing the music as to whether people would be able to hear what you are listening to.

Overall, I can see these being a great gift for someone (or yourself!) who loves music. On the website it states that be battery life can last up to 3.5 hours of playing music and the Bluetooth range is 30 feet. It also states that the lenses are tinted in order to block up to 99% of the UVA/UVB rays. I am very excited to see these glasses and others like them to start taking the audio listening market by storm.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
