Best Bluetooth Headphones for Work, Travel and Working out

by

Best Headphones for TravelWhether it’s time to relax after a stressful afternoon, or you’re in the 2:30 PM slump and need some extra energy to finish out the day, good music can make all the difference.  The earbuds that come with your phone can work in a pinch, but they’re sorely lacking when it comes to lots of features.  Adding music to your work, travel, or workouts can make a big difference in how much you enjoy them.  I’ve broken down my top picks for each below.

Best Headphones for Working out

Good workout headphones need to stay in place, have great audio, and be water resistant.  Why I like the Vi is that it does all three of those very well, but it will also track your heart rate, running cadence, and even act as a running coach if that’s your thing. Like an Amazon Echo or Apple’s Siri, you can ask it things like “what’s my heart rate,” and it will answer back. I won’t dive into how the running coach part works, so you can read more about it here, if you’re interested.  Currently the heart rate monitor and other health sensors only work within the Vi app, but they’ve said they’ll be adding more functionality next month in October.

For any headphones to be considered ideal for travel, they need to have good battery life, be wireless, have great sound, and be comfortable to wear for multiple hours.  The Samsung Level On PRO headphones check off all four of these boxes and have a lot of other features that are convenient for traveling.  First up is the ability to listen to music while turning off ambient noise cancelling, which comes in handy when changing gates or trying to listen to pilot announcements. Another is the ability to pause, play to jump to the next song or adjust the volume by using the touchpad on the outside of the earpiece.

The battery life on these is rated for 15 hours of continuous listening or phone calls, but if you forget to charge them, you can always plug them in with their audio cable, so you’ll never be stranded without being able to use them.  If you have a Samsung Android phone, there are a bunch of other features you can use these for (learn more about them here). One last feature I haven’t used, but sounds pretty interesting is that you can wirelessly share music between two Level Pro headsets. This seems especially helpful if you’re traveling with a friend and want to share music, or even better a movie on your iPad.

Many of the features that make the Level On PRO headphones great for travel make them great for work as well. The noise cancelling does a great job in blocking out ambient noise, and the built in microphone makes it easy to transition from listening to music to taking phone calls. I keep a pair of these in my bag and frequently use them at coffee shops when I need to tune out the world and focus on some work.

Stopped by @hermanmiller for an early Christmas pr Stopped by @hermanmiller for an early Christmas present. My office chair is probably the only thing I spend more time on than my mattress, so I thought it was time for an upgrade. Emma helped out making sure I picked the fabric color that smelled the best 😆 Swipe to see the color I ended up picking and check out my Stories for more info and a link.

Back again with another grill recipe! This time I Back again with another grill recipe! This time I cooked 16 ribeyes on our Weber grill from @homedepot and came up with a super easy and consistent recipe to cook them perfectly and get a good crust. I detailed it all out in a blog post where there’s a simple version if you just want the recipe, or a more detailed one where I talk about why this worked so well. Check out my Stories for the link! Plus, @homedepot is offering free shipping on all their grills purchased online! #ad #HomeDepotPartner #HomeDepotxGrills

I’ve been drinking butter coffee for A LONG TIME I’ve been drinking butter coffee for A LONG TIME, but I recently changed up my recipe. I used to make coffee in a French press every morning, but I changed it up to speed up the process. My latest recipe is: 1 Cosi @Nespresso pod Small amount of frothed whole grass-fed Milk Little Stevia 1/4 Tsp Guittard cocoa powder 1 Tbsp MCT Oil 1.5 Tbsp Grass-Fed Butter Blend it It’s not too sweet, but changes things up a bit from my normal butter coffee. Plus the single @nespresso pod has half the caffeine I’m used to (I’m trying to cut back, so this is a good way to get the butter and MCT oil without as much caffeine). If I need more caffeine, I just make another one ☕️ I’ve always been a fan of Mocha’s and ever since

I've been loving my #ProjectAthena- based #GalaxyB I've been loving my #ProjectAthena- based #GalaxyBookFlex laptop so much that when we had to get one for my son for distance learning, I knew exactly what to get him. We’ve been working a lot on handwriting and math lessons, so the S-Pen has been amazing to help him practice. We tried using another computer we had lying around, but it just couldn’t keep up with all the video calls and interactive learning games. We’re hoping to do some road trips this year, so the battery life and super bright screen will be perfect! #ad #MoreThan @intel

Super thankful for all the support from everyone!
First week of school is off to a good start. Makin First week of school is off to a good start. Making the best of a weird situation. Noah’s loving his online classes, because he can eat during them 😆. He LIGHTS UP when his teacher even mentions his name 😄 I hope everyone else with kids in school is handling it ok. From the parent side, it’s been pretty stressful just trying to make sure he’s in his love school sessions 4 - 5 times everyday. Just trying to be thankful this is even an option. This virus is awful, but it helps put everything in perspective.
