Sometimes you want to be able to listen to your music and hold a conversation with at the same time, and with the Numark Redphone, you can do that easily and comfortably.

With [little earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jbl-openear) it's easy to only wear one and let the other dangle, but if you prefer the sound quality and comfort of a headset, listening with only one ear is not the easiest task. The [premium-quality 50mm driver](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kali-audio-hp1-headphones) delivers great sound, while the red cushioned ergonomic handle gives you the option hands-free operation by leaning the device against your shoulder without having to crane your neck.

The smart design of the Numark Redphone is going to change the way music is heard.
