You’re the words and I’m your favourite tune

good design headphones

the best headphones that are beautiful

In collaboration with Sudio Sweden

What is your favorite song?

I know – it’s a hard question and you probably have many. But if I have to choose one, right now I would say it’s Candy by Paolo Nutini.

Besides our personal favorite songs, we have our favorite songs with Risto. The ones, where every time we hear it, we look at each other and smile. One of them is Moniker’s Oh My God, which I stole the title from. Lately we’ve been listening to even more music, since we got to try Sudio’s headphones.

Sudio is a Swedish lifestyle brand, which doesn’t only sell good headphones, but they are actually beautiful. The design aspect of the headphones is what really impressed me, when I first stumbled on to their page.

I got these white REGENT headphones, which I’ve loved. Here’s why:

  1. They come with different kinds of caps, so you can personalize your headphones and your style. I chose white marble caps. Cool, right?
  2. They are foldable, so they are handy to take with you and they don’t take that much space.
  3. They are wireless! Okay, I know that is not that special, but I have never had wireless headphones before.. Why? No one knows. Oh, and in case you prefer wires, they have those too in the package.
  4. Their battery lasts for 24+ hours. And they do have world class sound quality. And they look beautiful. And they are comfortable, and soft.

I know, that good quality headphones are pretty expensive, so considering that I think these are pretty reasonably priced too.

sudio headphones honest review

Risto loves to listen to music while running, so he went for the Sudio TRE. Those come in different colors (the rose gold ones are gorgeous!), but you can’t go wrong with black. I asked Risto what he thought of these headphones, and he actually wrote a mini review:

“My experience with Sudio Tre:

First of all, I’ve been using a wide variety of headphones for different purposes, and since the coming of bluetooth headphones I’ve been drawn to them.
Why? Because they’re the best for any activities you might want to do while listening to music, podcasts, audiobooks, etc.
Anyone who’s tried cleaning the house or jogging with wired headphones knows why wireless is the way to go.

I’ve tried a few wireless headphones and I’ve run into these issues while training:
1. Cup headphones end up heating your ears too much.
2. The buttons have been awful. I have a training playlist of 400 songs and I like to play it on shuffle. Skipping songs shouldn’t hurt my fingers like it does with some buttons.
3. The weight balance of the headphones is off.
My previous wireless training headphones had their battery placed exactly in the middle point between the ears. This lead to the battery bouncing from side to side and therefore the experience ended up feeling like I was running with wired headphones again..

The buttons and the weight balance are perfect with Sudio Tre. I’ve run 2,5 hours while listening to music with them and there were no issues whatsoever.
The balance is in fact so great that I’m able to use it while working with a heavy bag.

The only slight improvement I’d like is to get a little more bass, but that’s quite difficult without changing the design to those earplug models.
On the other hand, the earplug models also end up heating your ears during exercise, so this might actually be a good compromise.
And if you’re out running/cycling it might be safer to hear some background noise instead of blocking it out.

So for any training/physical activities, I’ll give 9/10 for these.
If you’re looking for headphones to watch a movie in the comfort of your bed, you might want a model that has better noise canceling and deeper bass.
Different headphones for different purposes. These are for the active people.”

So now, answer to the first question I asked you and let’s share our favorite songs! And also – what did you think of this post? I know I love it, because it has my favorite person in it (and he actually participated in writing it).

A great idea: Kindle

Kindle e-reader – better than books

I love my kindle. It’s a lifesaver. I took it with me to my trip in Rhodes and it was one of the best things there (don’t get me wrong here though!). I read more than I ever have on my holiday. I read 4 books.

Don’t tell him, but sometimes my significant other gets amazing ideas. The ones that I just ignore and maybe say “whatever” from the other room. Then later I thank him for that awesome idea he got that I didn’t understand at all at first. One of these ideas was ordering Kindles from amazon.

Kindle is kind of like a tablet that you can read e-books with. It doesn’t have a lighted screen like tablets or computers do though so you need a light if you’re reading in the dark (my man got us small reading lamps too of course ’cause you know, he’s him and he’s awesome). It doesn’t cause headache the same way that computer does after a long time. The best thing in that small and thin device is that you can have all the books you want in just that tiny space. You go to Kindle store, you buy books and then you read them. On my holiday in Rhodes I read four or five books and after one ended I could just buy the next book (I was reading a series) and continue reading. Kindle store has also free books. Book shelfs are limited at home so I think this is amazing.

Edit: I learned that there are different kinds of kindles and some of them have built-in lights as well. You can find all the options and info from the link below.

Not convinced yet? Other good things about Kindle is that..

.. it’s easy to travel with. You can take it anywhere with you ’cause it’s small and very portable. Just think about if you had Harry Potter book five – it’s huge!
.. you can hold kindle with one hand and you don’t have to hold onto the pages you have read already. (Just imagine the HP book here too!) In kindle you turn page with your finger.

.. you can read it in the sun without any problems. It doesn’t reflect light like tablets or phones do. Actually comparing the device to a tablet is funny ’cause it differs a lot from it.

.. you can change the font and the font size however you like. For example I change the font to an enormous size if I’m not wearing my reading glasses. In other words: I don’t always need to wear my glasses when reading!

.. it has a built-in-dictionary so if you’re reading in English (like I do) you can paint the word you don’t understand and you get the translations and explanations from a few different sites. Hallelujah!

You can also download the kindle app to your phone and try it that way first. Of course then it’s a phone and works a bit different but anyway it gives you an idea of the app and the device.

Any kindle fans out there? Or do you prefer regular books? I swear I though I would hate it ’cause I like the feel of a real book, but now that I have this, I wouldn’t change it for anything.

Pairing your kindle with Gin&Tonic is recommended. Photos from year ago from our trip in Rhodes.
