The What We Covet Holiday Gift Guide, Part 4: The Listener

Remember about ten or fifteen years ago or so when cigar box purses were a trendy thing? Or was that just around my high school? How about just a couple of years ago when Beats by Dre headphones were the hot ticket item to pair with the newest iPod?

Owen & Fred must have the same memories I do, because they have come up with a beautiful marriage of these two trends in a pair of iPod/iPhone or computer speakers. 

Owen & Fred describes these limited edition speakers as producers of "sound [that] is smooth and easy to listen to. No harsh highs or rough midrange, just natural - musical sound that never fails to impress. " Honestly, I'm not quite sure what the second sentence means, but I do know one thing: they sure look nice. The Listener on your list is sure to appreciate their aesthetic beauty as much as their auditory quality.

Buy through Owen & Fred for $199.
