I talk a lot about music and what it can do for the mind, body and soul, but another thing I want to mention is the products that you can listen to that music on. I’m going to tell you about some of the products I actually use on a daily basis and then I’ll dive into other great products that I don’t have but wish I did.
So the first product I use is pretty basic. I use my Apple iPhone 8. I just download Spotify or Pandora on my phone and play it out loud while getting ready in the morning or getting ready to go out with my friends for the weekend. I love my iPhone, it has great sound, it’s very clear and it’s the perfect volume for my bathroom. I think all iPhones work fine. I just got an update so I love my new phone and the sound it makes.
Another product that I really love to use is my Beats wireless headphones. That was one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. They are amazing and connect via Bluetooth to my iPhone 8. They are great for working out because you don’t have to worry about cords or anything getting in the way and you don’t have to be on top of your phone to change the song because the headphones have a button you can press to pause, play, next song, and go back to a song. They are perfect for running and no matter how much you sweat they don’t fall out of your ears.
Another product that I love is my Bose Sound Link Mini Bluetooth Speaker. This thing was perfect for my freshman year in college when I had to use a communal shower and me and my friends on my floor would take all the showers at the same time and play this speaker throughout the bathroom and sing at the top of our lungs. it was hilarious. But the charging port was a breeze, you just put it on top and it started charging. The battery lasted a decent amount of time and the volume on this speaker is impressive. I wonder how such a small speaker could produce so many sounds. The things that people invent these days really amaze me.
Something that is new to me and my family is Alexa. We just set it up in our house and you can call her name and tell her to look for anything. I love coming home and telling Alexa to play a certain playlist or song so she just plays music right there and is pretty loud. It’s really nice when you’re super tired after work and you have to cook dinner, but then you remember you have Alexa and you can have it play your favorite music and then enjoy cooking and being in the kitchen.
