My youngest nephew rips up some pretty hot tunes on his guitars, which is why this travel-sized amp caught my eye. Slick enough to capture hip urban sensibilities and small enough to pop in his messenger bag for impromtu jams.
I have a crush on this crush.

I grew up with a grandfather who loved technology and Bang-Olufsen (B&O) specifically. Thanks to Pop’s influence, I was an official audiophile at an early age.
So I was overjoyed when I found out that B&O made a headset. I’ve traveled in several countries with this beauty (none more challenging of an obstacle than the hills of San Francisco) and always experienced crystal clear calls. And because of B&O’s commitment to quality, it emerged unscathed and in perfect working order after an unfortunate accident going through a wash/dry cycle;.
Due to it’s smashing good looks, it’s the only headset I’ve worn that people comment upon daily.
