Nixon Headphones

When you lead an active lifestyle, it helps to have one source for all your needs -- like an Old West dry goods store that'd hook you up with everything from flour to bullets, or a pot dealer who also sells couches. Providing even more than before, Nixon, with their new headphones.

Started by SoCal surf/snowboard enthusiasts and vaunted as a go-to brand for action-sporty men's accoutrements (from watches to backpacks to jackets), Nixon's now breaking out three different models of headphones, each with high-end design aesthetics (stainless steel earpieces, leather headbands, etc) and super-reliable function (successfully play music). Two of the three are over-ear models: the audiophile-pleasing Master Blaster (w/ full-sized volume knob and oversized leather cups) and the travel-friendly, fold-able, memory foam-cushioned Nomadic; both are abetted with a patent-pending ball-and-socket connection joint for max comfort, no matter the Panormousness (TM) of your cranium. For in-ear fans, Nixon's also offering the Wire, a noise-isolating model that comes with three custom-fit silicon tips and is available in your choice of two audio driver sizes: 10mm (optimized for rock music) and 8mm (for hip-hop/Nicolas Cage).

Both the Nomadic and the Wire are also available with built-in mics for cell phones -- in case you're feeling really stressed, or just peed on your cushions again.
