I bet it’s safe to say that you or someone in your house is a music lover. For me that would be everyone in the house! That also means if your household is like mine you have went through a lot of headphones and ear buds over the years! We have had the cheap ones to the high priced ones. When I was asked to do a review for Soul Republic, I knew this would be a perfect fit. So I decided to pick the Sol Republic’s JAX In-Ear Headphones with 1-Button Mic + Music Control. I am glad that I accepted the review because they are some fantastic ear buds. To be honest I have already ordered more for everyone in the house since my oldest daughter my review ones! These would make a great gift for any music lover and if your still looking for the perfect Father’s Day Gift here it is!

About:

Sol Republic’sJ AX In-Ear Headphones with 1-Button Mic + Music Control, are designed for high quality sound and style within reach. Featuring i2 sound engines, JAX provide a powerful, high quality sound that will exceed all expectations. With intuitively designed wide and flat cable, you will spend less time handling your headphones and more time listening to music. Just pull them out and put them on without any hassles. With four sizes of ear tips, you’re sure to get a comfortable fit and perfect seal for hours of music bliss.

The Jax packs a ton of sound in a super small encasing. It is SOL REPUBLIC bestseller and I see why! The Jax comes in a variety of fun colors and are perfect for my busy daily life.  The truth is Jax are perfect for the no-fuss every day life of everyone!  These blow the sound of the sub-par free earbuds out of the water any day!

 

Pros:

SOL REPUBLIC products are guaranteed to last. They will repair or replace most products at no charge for a period of one year from the date of purchase! *Products must be purchased from a SOL REPUBLIC authorized dealer* (this could also be a con)

EAR TIPS FOR LIFE

Affordable but still carry the high quality as you see in higher price brands!

Comes in fun colors for everyone on your gift list!

Works great with our iPhones and iPods!

Fits great so no more falling out of my ear when I am running on the treadmill!

High Quality sound.

 

Cons:

As I said in the pro’s the one year warranty only applies when you buy your SOL REPUBLIC authorized dealer. So you would need to be sure you buy them from an authorized dealer. The warranty does not cover products purchased open box, sold as-is, by private party resale or any other third party purchases from unauthorized distributors (including unauthorized distributors and resellers transacting via online marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay). Transfer of SOL REPUBLIC products through unauthorized distributors renders this warranty null and void. So make sure if you do buy on amazon. Com it says SOLD AND SHIPPED FROM AMAZON.  This Would get tricky when you get these for a gift and don’t know where they came from. But if your personally buying them from a authorized dealer you would be fine.

My Thoughts:

My family absolutely loves them; they are one of the best headphones that I have bought in a while. I love that they are tangle free, with the wire being flat. The sound quality is good and the ear bud pieces are not loose. They fit perfectly into my ears which is always a big plus since I have had issues with other brands not fitting right.. Plus My teenagers both approve and give them a thumbs up which is most important since they seem to know what’s hot and not when it comes to these type of things. I personally never notice the sound difference in earphones except for the cheaper ones lol!

Ladies don’t forget that Father’s Day is just around the corner. With the end of the school year and planning our vacation I have been super busy lately so it kind of slipped my mind! Luckily, I still have time to find the perfect gift for My Father and of course my husband before June 15th! Yet, again Best Buy has taken out all the guesswork and has created great gift ideas for every type of father like they did for Mother’s Day!

Entertainer –Gifts for the Dad who aspires to set up the ultimate man cave complete with gaming, sports, movies, listing to music, or just hanging out. This Dad loves to share so it also has everything at the ready for entertaining a crowd.

Gizmo Guru: Gifts for the dad that always wants to take his tech to the next level with the latest and greatest – always connected, at home and on the go.

Fitness Fanatic: Dad who doesn’t let age slow him down. He has no fear and loves adventure, but aspires to be/keep healthy as well. Dad uses technology in a wide range of ways in his active life both for himself and the family for instance; Go Pro and Fit Bit to track activity and recording adventures, to portable batteries for on the go fitness, camping while listening to music / watching movies on the smartphone

Memory Maker: For the Dad that makes sure that not only all the memories are captured and stored (video/photo) but keeps the family organized and under control. Gifts for him make his life easer; Dad pays the bills with laptop, videos kids, back up storage for pictures, prints out schedules for baseball practices and games, etc.

I love that there are so many options to pick from! My father and husband both fall under the Gizmo Guru and the list matched them perfectly!  Take a look at the list below:

I have decided that this year I am going to go all out for Father’s day! Both my husband and father give so much and never expect anything in return. I am truly blessed to have these men in my life and my kid’s life. Now the hard part is deciding on what product fits them the best! I really like the Nest – 2nd-Generation Learning Thermostat for my dad. This would be something that he would love and something very useful.

For my Husband I know that I am going to get him something that is easy to travel with. Since he is doing more media events and jobs lately, he needs to make sure his IPhone is always charged so the mophie – space pack 16GB External Battery Case would be a perfect addition! 4778009cv3a.jpg;canvasHeight=500;canvasWidth=500

 

I also love the Lenovo – Yoga 2 2-in-1 11.6″ Touch-Screen Laptop that would be perfect for traveling instead of carrying around his full size laptop!

Mother’s Day is right around the corner, but odds are many people are still searching for that perfect gift. Your mother gave you the most precious gift of all – the gift of life – so you want to make sure you get her the absolute best present ever. If this sounds like you and you are still looking for a last minute mother’s day gift, here are some great ideas for mom this Mother’s Day from Best Buy!

New Gadgets

If your mom loves new toys, why not spring for a new camera for Mother’s Day? Moms love taking pictures (especially of their children and grandchildren), and there are many different cameras to choose from to make sure mom gets exactly what she wants. For the technologically advanced mom out there you could spring for a DSLR, or get her a simple point-and-shoot camera for fast set-up right out of the box. You can also get her a new tablet, e-reader, cell phone, or music player!

Get Cooking

It may sound cliché, but most moms really like cooking and baking for their families. If your mom loves to cook, find a cookware set that is sturdy and functional, but attractive enough that she won’t mind if pots and pans are left on the stove while company is visiting! If she prefers baking, a KitchenAid Ultra Power Tilt-Head Stand Mixer will really cut down on mixing and stirring time. If you’ve got a coffee addict for a mother, Keurig special edition is a perfect gift.

Get her moving

 If your mom is anything like mine, she needs the motivation to get up and moving. So, things like Polar FT4 Women’s Heart Rate Monitor, Fitbit Aria Wifi Smart Scale Black, and MisFit Shine would be the perfect way! And as added bonus you can score, 20% off Misfit Shine Products to redeem coupon on bestbuy.com enter code MOMSHINE20 at check out.

 

Just Relax

Moms work hard and deserve some relaxation time. Find an electric pulse massager for moms who want to relieve minor muscle and joint pains, or a massaging footbath for an at-home spa experience. If you’re looking for something bigger with more substance, a whole new massage chair will really help her relax! Let mom put up her feet and relax this Mother’s Day.

GreatestMom_03

Best Buy has all types of gifts for all types of Moms so there is something for everyone! If you need more ideas, make sure to check out Best Buy Gift Center!

Flowers and chocolates are always a traditional gift, but they only last a finite amount of time. If you find her something she’ll really love—and use for a long time!—you’re sure to make a great impression.
