In addition to high-end headphones such as [Beats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stussy-and-beats) by Dre or anything [Bose](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jbl-tour-m2) puts out, there's the [SOL](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-sol-reader) Republic Tracks Headphone which proves to be just as badass.

The SOL Republic Tracks Headphone features interchangeable earmuffs that make them more travel-friendly. The brand has integrated a new polymer that they call FlexTech, which they guarantee makes the product virtually indestructible. The Tracks ear cushion offers extreme comfort since it's lightweight and large; this will reduce pressure on the ear.

As for the sound itself, it features a V8 Sound Engine for crisp, clean sounds that easily rivals any other brand on the market. These have a 3.5mm audio jack, which means it'll work for more devices whether it's smartphones or MP3 players. Perhaps this will be the pair of headphones you've been searching for.
