Our Picks: Headphones

Whether it’s on public transport, at the office, or kicking back for a round of Fortnite at home, there’s a pretty good chance I’m wearing headphones. And as someone who wears glasses, finding the right mix of comfort, style and sound can be a bit of a hurdle. Luckily, here at ABDZ, we get to test out quite a few gadgets. And out of all of them, there are a few headphones that stood out. Here’s my list of the best headphones to get you through your day, workout, flight, or family dinner.

Beautifully Designed Products from the MoMa Store

The MoMA Store. is a great place to find inspiration, there are a lot of beautiful designed products from famous designers such as Alesi, Ron Arad, Karim Rashid, Philippe Stark, Tibor Kalman, and many others.

There are different things you can do to avoid getting it, using a more ergonomic mouse in one solution, OR you can use this mouse that looks like it was designed for an alien hand.
