I’ve got a bit of a different post for you! I was originally going to include this item in my gift guide, but I loved them so much I thought they deserved their own post!

Sudio is a completely new-to-me brand out of Sweden that manufactures quality head and earphones (wired and wireless). I was recently approached about trying out a pair of their earphones and I was definitely intrigued – I had never tried a pair of wireless earphones and wanted to see how I would feel about them!

“Sudio represents elegant products with studio quality sound and exquisite minimalistic design. Our customers should be proud to wear and use our products. We aim for perfection in all aspects of our customer service and will always strive to give you an amazing experience with our brand.”

Sudio asked me if I’d like to try out their Vasa BLÅ earphones which come in a variety of colour options. I opted for the white cord with rose gold accents because I thought it looked the prettiest… and let me just say… these earphones are elegant AF!

Inside the packaging (not only gorgeous, but also sturdy!), you’ll find a manual, a quick start guide (so handy – who reads manuals anyway?), your earphones, a small USB connector (to charge your headset), five sets of ear plug sizes, as well as a little pouch to store everything.

Before I tested these out, I made sure to charge my earphones via my computer’s USB port. Super easy – just pop open the small tab on the earphones, insert the connector into the slot and then plug them into your computer. The Vasa BLÅ earphones are a wireless set that requires Bluetooth in order to make a connection (my iPod nano is seriously out of date, so I had to test this with my phone). Using the quick start guide I got connected right away (and since I never use Bluetooth, I was pretty impressed with how easy it was).

So how do they work and feel? In a word… incredible. These are INCREDIBLY soundproof. If you want something to block out the noise of the world around you, this is the way to go! I’m also pretty terrible at noticing differences in audio quality across different sound systems, but I can DEFINITELY discern a huge difference between this pair of earphones when compared to whatever random shitty brand I bought for some low cost price.

And wireless? Guys, why have I never gotten on this bandwagon? IT IS SO FREEING. Walking around without cords dangling from my ears and pockets? Such a nice feeling. I charged the set once and then proceeded to wear it to and from work on my usual 30 minute walking commute and I was in love! I haven’t had to recharge the set yet and I’ve worn it for about 15 hours in total. Super, super pleased.
