And whats the best thing about Christmas besides the food? The presents of course! I gave my Disney obsessed friend a sully mug, she freaking loved it! Of course I received a few presents myself, my favorite being the Frends Layla headphones in the oil slick finish. And This is what i'm going to review for you guys today.
The first thing I noticed about the headphones were how incredibly gorgeous they were, the pictures honestly don't do them justice as there are millions of different colours in them. The other colours they come in is rose gold, gold and silver but looking at the other colours, The Oil slick is most definitely my favourite colour as I am obsessed with duochrome finish of them.
I know what you're thinking- these look stunning, but what is the sound quality like? Surprisingly the sound quality is brilliant. Every word comes out super clear and loud, but without the music escaping and you can't hear anything unless the headphones are on your ear. This is personally something that I despise in the beats by dr. dre is that everybody on the outside can hear what you're listening to. I would hate to give my family the dis-fortune of listening to all my music with the occasional swear word in it.
Also, These are extremely comfortable. The cushioning is memory foam which means that it wouldn't snag against your earrings which is another thing I hate about the dr.dre beats. The layla headphones are specially designed for women which is why they are not as big and clunky as beats- honestly, after wearing these for a couple of days I have no idea how I could possibly go back to wearing mens headphones. It comes with a case, but in my opinion it is a little bit weak (think cosmetic bag material). It is a little bit annoying but if you make sure not to just chuck them into your bag full of clutter then its fine.
My only gripe is that they are near impossible to find in London, let alone the UK as a whole. My mum got mine from Browns of south molten street (just off oxford street, by bond street) for £140 which granted is a lot of money, but in my opinion totally worth it. I know that you can also get them in selfridges and harrods, but unfortunately they don't stock the oil slick finish.
Overall they are a great present and I love them to bits.
thanks mummy
would you consider getting a pair of frends?
