There are headphones, and then there are headphones. The Muzik One headphones are the first smart, socially connected headphones. The headphones feature full integration with both Spotify and IFTTT, which means that you can use your headphones for just about anything you can imagine, from turning on your lights at home to getting the weather report, to opening your garage so you can park your car. Its Spotify collaboration marks the first between a music streaming service and a connected headphone company. Also, you can switch from on-ear to over-ear headphones and vice versa.

Still not convinced? Some of the world’s most famous athletes and entertainers, like Drake, comedian Kevin Hart, Super Bowl champion and MVP Von Miller, and NBA All-Star Chris Paul have promoted the brand or are strategic investors and partners.

Muzik One headphones also have programmable Hot Keys so that you can use one touch functionality, voice control, intuitive touch control and long-range wireless connectivity. Plus, when you download the Muzik Connectivity app and link it up to your headphones via Bluetooth, you’ll be able to customize your hot keys to do the following:

Connect: Enhance music and social media experiences by connecting directly with Facebook, . Twitter, Spotify, Apple Music and more with the Muzik® Connect App

Discover: Proprietary software identifies the song being played and automatically finds a legal link for sharing on social networking platforms

Share: Current track, location, weather, time, and an image from Google Street View

Customize: Program hot keys to speed dial favorite contacts, save or share songs, get the news and more with one touch

How many pairs of headphones can do all that? None that we’re familiar with. So if you’re in the market for some holiday gift giving, or if you just want a new pair of headphones, go for a pair of the Muzik One headphones. They beat out your headphones in functionality by a landslide.

Best Sleep Earbuds and Headphones to Reduce Noise at Night

Falling and staying asleep can be more difficult than you’d like. Between the stress of the day, the to-do lists mounting in your mind, and the sirens or street traffic outside, there are all sorts of sounds and mind chatter that can pollute the quiet calm you need. Wearing earplugs can help, but some people find listening to music, audio stories, podcasts, or even white noise or specialized sleep sounds is the best way to block out the distracting soundtrack of life and create the relaxing haven you need for sleep.
Wearing conventional headphones in bed can be uncomfortable. If you are a side sleeper, the pressure of lying atop something sticking in or over your ear can be extremely uncomfortable -- if not dangerous. Even if you sleep on your back or stomach, regular headphones or earbuds can get tangled up in bedsheets or fall out, especially types with cords or poorly-fitting designs. However, there are earbuds and headphones designed especially for sleep, as well as some regular models that do tend to work well in bed.
Sleep headphones are typically one of two designs -- a traditional earbud style that goes in your ear canal or a headband style that wraps around your head and ears, encircling them with fabric and positioning embedded speakers near the ear canal. The former can be advantageous for those who need additional noise blocking or who want to use the earbuds outside the bedroom, whereas headband styles tend to be most comfortable for sleeping on your side and they tend to stay in place better than earbuds if you toss and turn at night.
We sourced dozens of the most popular sleep earbuds and sleep headphones, as well as traditional earbuds that work well for sleeping, and evaluated them based on comfort, function, value, features, noise-blocking effectiveness, versatility, sound quality, and durability. After weighing the pros and cons of each, we selected the eight best sleep earbuds and sleep headband headphones below.
