Wired Wednesday – Soul by Ludacris

A TRIUMPH OF SOUL “For me, a great noise cancelling headphone does a lot more than just allow for more detail to be heard (at a lower volume) in noisy environments; it actually allows me to sleep in noisy environments when I otherwise would toss and turn. For a headphone to be both “sleepably” comfortable and block out an extreme amount of ambient noise, I would be willing to pay the asking price of the SL300. However, the SL300 is not only the most effective and comfortable noise canceling headphone I’ve ever worn, but it sounds as good as it looks – And I think it looks pretty darn good!”

THE FIT AND FINISH “ The folks over at Soul by Ludacris know how to make me smile just looking at the box. I have to say, for me, the entire Soul line has some of the most attractive packaging in the industry. The SL300 is one of the most attractive headphones I’ve ever seen…”

ALL ABOUT THE SOUND ”I feel that the SL300 have a sound that would please a variety of music listeners. While the bass is definitely raised for that extra oomph and punch (best suited for listening to Hip Hop, Pop and R&B), I have found that the bass region is controlled enough to sound really good with a variety of music including Rock, Metal and Jazz. The midrange allows for vocals to come to the forefront. The highs are just slightly subdued for a more mellow tonality… ”

LAST WORD  ”The SL300 are one of those headphones which seem to have it all: Good sound, comfort you can sleep in, a compact design, noise canceling which can block out the noise which irks you, a mic/Apple compatible cable option and impressive looks. Soul by Ludacris has succeeded here on many levels, creating one of the best noise canceling headphones on the market today!”
