Headphones

With audiophiles looking to get the absolute most out of their music on the go, it should come as little surprise that over-ear headphones are now starting to outsell their ‘bud’ counterparts.

It’s not just that though, with seemingly everyone hopping to the over-ear bandwagon, with countless athletes at London 2012 donning the in vogue head gear.

With urban music starts clamouring to get a hold in the head phone market, it seems like it’s something that’s going to stay around for a while. Noting the trend, Amazon have had a look at the best-selling hip-hop endorsed headphones, with unsurprisingly Dr Dre’s Beats headphones still sitting on top of the heap. Bob Marley’s headphones come in second with 50 Cent’s STREET headphones clocking in third.

Andrew Milliken, Electronics Director at Amazon.co.uk said ‘’It seems like the days when musicians simply made music are behind us and some of the world’s biggest artists are creating great electronics products in addition to the albums and singles which initially catapulted them into the spotlight.“

He continued ‘’Fans are embracing the over-ear headphones trend which allows them to incorporate the artist’s style whilst they enjoy their biggest tracks.”
