Best Headphones for a Hands-Free Working Mom

As a woman working with technology, it's important to me to have a product that works and that makes my life easier. Professionally, I use bluetooth headphones to listen to music while working, to talk on the phone with clients, and while I drive and run errands to make phone calls. 

As a mom, I use these headphones to listen to music or tv on my phone while my baby nurses; she gets distracted so easily by noise, it really helps! I use them as I do dishes and laundry and walk around the house. I talk to my mom, I listen to music. The best part is that they don't ever get in my way, they are so light-weight I forget I'm wearing them, and they're always there when I need to make a quick phone call. I love multi-tasking, so they are my best friend! Easily one of my best purchases.

But these headphones weren't the first I tried. Honestly, I can say that I've tried 6 or 7 different headphones, ranging in price from $40 to $100, each. It was very frustrating ordering new ones over and over, only to find that I couldn't be heard well during phone calls, or it would disconnect periodically from my computer, or they wouldn't stay in place around my neck. And each of these products had decent reviews, so it was frustrating.

Finally, I found the LG blue tooth headphones that were PERFECT. I even ordered a second set so that in a few years when these eventually wear down, I won't have to go through this process again! It is so worth the extra money to get a pair of headphones that will work and last YEARS without problems. 

Note: I was a little worried about the retractable earbuds, since others of this style have gotten stuck and broken. On occasion, one earbud won't go all the way back in all the way, but I'll use it one or two times and it'll go back in again. So that has worked great for over a year now.

Most people that know me are used to seeing me with these headphones on more often than without them! I just hate to go anywhere without them.

As an alternative, I tried this older version in the past and it is a decent alternative at around $40 on sale:
