These wireless headphones share a cool feature with Apple’s AirPods, plus they’re on sale
Admit it: Your current headphones no longer spark joy. They don’t fit well, their sound quality leaves much to be desired, and if they haven’t already broken, they’re so shoddy that they probably will soon.
So here you are, physically and emotionally ready for new listening equipment, but without a clue as to where you should begin your search. Frustratingly, most options out there feel like a compromise: Typical over-ear headphones, for example, provide great sound quality but tether you down with cords. Meanwhile, your average wireless earbuds offer the latest in audio technology, but at sky-high prices.
Well, to paraphrase none other than Hannah Montana, you can get the best of both worlds in the form of the Culture V1 Bluetooth headphones. They’re wireless over-ear headphones that come with all sorts of perks without sacrificing comfort or convenience — or jeopardizing your budget, for that matter.
Billed as truly “smart” headphones, the Culture V1s boast a stacked feature lineup. To start, they’re equipped with AptX and AAC low latency technology for zero lag whatsoever, as well as best-in-class 98% noise cancellation with an ambient mode to keep you connected to your surroundings. They’ve also got an impressive battery life of up to 35 hours on a single charge, and dual mics for phone calls.
But perhaps most impressively, the Culture V1s are built with the same auto-pause feature you find in Apple’s popular AirPods. Just place them around your neck and their smart sensors will automatically pause and play your music so you never miss a beat.
The Culture Audio V1 ANC Bluetooth Headphones are usually on sale in the Mashable Shop for $135, a 32% discount on their original retail price of $200. But if you enter the coupon code SEMIANNUAL at checkout, you can save an additional 15% and pay just $114.75 for a pair of Culture V1s in black or white.
