Oh, yeah!!
Introducing my new best friend!
Sennheiser CXC 700 Active Noise-Canceling Ear-Canal Headphones
This is by far the greatest thing ever invented since, since, since....Pizza!
When I write, there are times when I need quiet--no TV, talking, radio, nothing... or else I'll get distracted and lose my train of thought. Well, at times this is not entirely possible. Especially since I'm not the only one in the household.
One evening I was in the office trying to write and the basketball game was on...well, hubby had the volume on HIGH BLAST!! So, instead of me focusing on my manuscript, I was actually thinking about the game.
Enter my new best friend--Sennheiser CXC 700 Active Noise-Canceling Ear-Canal Headphone-- Same scenario...put these things in my ear, turn on the power...and presto, chango....................SILENCE.
It has a cool little 'talk through' button you can press, if you want to hear whats going on around you. I had them on the other day while the game was on and it sounded like this.
LeBron James, for the steal, heading down court and he *presses button*.........................................................*presses button again*....what an awesome move by the Heat. Woo Hoo!!
I love these earphones so much and wish I could wear them all the time. Wouldn't it be great to silence anything or anyone you didn't want to hear.
The co-worker who always complains about everything. "oh and another thing, I was over my mother-in-laws house, and lemme tell you what she said. *presses button*............................................................................................................................*presses button again*..okay, well, thanks for listening, we'll have to talk again soon.
The doctor's office. "Overall you're in good shape, but step up on the scale, let's see how much you weigh, oh, wow, you weigh. *presses button*........................................................................................................................*presses button again* Okay, well, we'll see you at your next visit.
The car repair shop for an oil change. "Let me show you what your filter looks like, I think you need to *presses button*............................................................................................................................................*presses button again* we'll just do the oil change for you.
Just a great little gadget if you need quiet time to study, write, work, etc. Especially, if you travel, this would silence all the crying kids, plane engines, loud talking, a/c noise.
Okay, so you get the point :)
Blessings!!
Love this^. There are moments when my whole family is 'ear-phoned,' each listening to their own thing. What would our ancestors have made of that... a race of aliens?
ReplyDeleteThat's cool. I can write even when it's noisy (I have two kids), but I write better when it's quiet. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL, love this idea! I need quiet for writing, and they *would* be great on planes too. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are just what I need ;)
ReplyDeleteOur house is pretty small, so if someone is watching the T.V. there's no getting away from it. I have often wished I had something like this. Although I fear they're not affordable, I'm off to look them up. . .
I could've used these last night and this morning. I need to get them.
ReplyDeleteWow, what an awesome contraption! Thanks for following my blog, am returning the follow!
