Flips Audio Headphones Review

Recently I was given the opportunity to review an AWESOME product… I thought long and hard about if it would be a good fit with my blog and a good product to tell all you guys about… ok, who am I kidding?!  I really didn’t think that long OR that hard about it because lets face it… FLIPS Audio Headphones are l.e.g.i.t!  For your viewing pleasure here is me enjoying my flips:

So what exactly are FLIPS?  Thanks for asking!  Let me tell you a little about them!  They are HD headphones that you can flip out to become a powerful speaker that lets everyone around you enjoy the music you are listening to.  Remember how I LOVE working out outside??  These are perfect for those times!!  I used to crank my iPod up to full blast and always worried if I was going to blow out the speaker or not… now I don’t have to worry about it anymore!

 

It comes with a great carrying case that the headphones fit into when you fold them up! How cool is that? (I almost used the word “nifty” but refrained because I didn’t want any of you to think I’m old-fashioned and out of touch with the world!) ;)

They Flips come in two different colors:

Here are some details from their website:

I was really impressed with the quality of the Flips Headphones!  The first thing I noticed when I put them on my head was that it seemed to cancel out a lot of the noise going on around me, even with the volume turned down low!  I’m also super impressed by the quality of sound both while using them as headphones AND while using them as speakers!!  This is a super awesome product!! The only con that I could come up with for these is that when I’m wearing my glasses, the headphones smash them up against my ears and my ears become sore… I don’t know if it’s because they’re new and I haven’t gotten them broken in yet or if that’s just how they roll….

I am super pumped that I got to review these (for free) because they retail for $120!  Compared to Dr. Dre Beats Headphones at $399… that’s a good deal!!  They also have a 30-Day Money Back Guarantee!

What makes it an even better deal is that Flips Audio is offering my readers $10 off of the Flip Headphones and FREE Rush shipping upgrade when you use this code at checkout:  FA0010INT
*Only good if you purchase them through the Flips Audio Website HERE and only valid through July 16, 2013. This Offer is unlimited in quantity and cannot be combined with any other offers*

 

*I was given the Flip Audio Headphones to review for free, but all opinions stated in this review are my own

 Last Week’s Roundup

Going Streakin’

I made it a goal to workout everyday last week… and I did it!!! In fact… I just completed Day #8 in my workout streak! :)  I feel awesome!!  A little bit tired because I haven’t been going to bed at a decent time and my body isn’t used to so much exercise thanks to 16 hour long school days last quarter… but it really does feel awesome! lol… I’m looking forward to keepin’ the streak alive! :)  My body is a little sore, but it’s a good sore… the kind that lets me know I’m getting stronger!  Speaking of which… this song has been stuck in my head all week!! lol… enjoy!

Tis The Season For Giveaways: I-Tunes Gift Certificate Giveaway

Tis the Season for Giveaways and I’m starting off with a fun one!!! :D  I LOVE music!!  I have only run without music once I believe.  It wasn’t bad, but I prefer to dance and sing along while I’m running… especially those longer distances.  I really don’t have a favorite song to work out to or a specific “running” playlist.  I just set my Ipod to shuffle and off I go.

Itunes gift cards make great Christmas gifts because the recipient can buy whatever songs they want and they don’t have to buy the whole CD!!  Also, this way, you don’t risk buying someone a CD or songs they already have!! Now you have the chance to win a $10 Itunes gift card for yourself or for someone else!! :D
