Tis the season for family and giving. But that personal wish list ain’t going to fill itself out. Here are a few ideas to make your stockings, and music loving mind, much more jolly.

Grain Audio OEHP | Solid Wood Over-Ear Headphones

Headphones have become celebrity endorsed, candy-colored bass crankers over the last decade. Their popularity means more of the same. Where to look for stylish and great sounding headphones for acoustic instruments and, uh hmm, REAL, vocals? Grain Audio OEHP headphones are the answer to those needs, friends. The enclosures are made from grain-matched solid walnut and cushioned with plush, form-fitting ear cushions and a cushioned headband for a great look and fit. And the sound…THE SOUND! Each enclosure sports a proprietary driver that features a Neodymium magnet and a CCAW voice coil. That’s a fancy way of saying Sturgill Simpson’s growl or Allison Krause’s breathy trill are delivered in their full-range splendor. Buy
