Thanks to the fine people at
Verizon Wireless, FenwayNation was able to sample a
great new technology during one of our recent visits to Fenway Park.
JBL "Free" Truly Wireless In-Ear Headphones are (as you might expect) absolutely spectacular. There's nothing like killing pre-game time listening to the rich, crisp sounds of the Beatles'
"Norwegian Wood" or YES's "
Roundabout" without being encumbered by tangling wires. The experience actually made the wicked cold weather bearable. The range and sound quality of these little guys is truly amazing. Honestly, I thought I'd have some "fit" issues with my ears—but thanks to a range of customized ear cushion options, pretty much anyone can get the perfect, secure fit. I've never experienced wireless headphones before, but I can't imagine any option better than these JBLs. Although I didn't try it out, you can also make and take calls from your smart phone with these devices. One more thing, I have always been bedeviled by
Bluetooth hook-ups—they never seem to work right on the first try. With these JBLs, even a Luddite like me was able to connect right away (thanks to a very cool and beautifully-designed charging case). All in all, these JBL "Free" wireless headphones are well worth the cost in sound quality and convenience. My only regret is that I have to send them back to
Verizon Wireless in a few more days. (Hint, hint, Verizon—can I keep them?). You can get more info
