To a T: The Baker In-Ear Headphone

Yesterday, after visiting Tiffany, we popped into Experience Headphones and picked up two Ted Baker Audio "Dover" in-ear Headphones. Spending little money, someone gets what they deserve, and in this case, we deserved two Adel's given we had been idle ($500), but settled on two Ted Baker Dover's ($99.00 USD)  in polished silver and black.


While we had been walking all day, the trip wasn't quite Dover to Calais. (£39 GBP)


The Dover's are some handsome headphones. The connector is quite nice (a bit like a cigarillo at the end), like that of the new SuperDarts in Titanium. And the shape of the headphone, both jet-engine and coffee cup, like, looks good in the ear. At the back, or bottom of the "cup" there's a mesh like on the Master & Dynamic ME-03's. The cable is flawless. It's thinner than the A-Jays Five, so it will less easily get caught, in a jacket, and has a fine stamp in it, to resemble aged leather.

The box design is splendid. The cover and right side is great, and there's a flap (not a French Flap, mind you), to open, like on the urBeats by Dr. Dre, Space Grey or Alexander Wang edition. Similarly grand packaging. It's a product you want, just from the case. Where fashion meets audio?

The in-ear look is solid, like the IE800 you would want to be, and the black leatherette cable and tech cigarette connector is fantastic.

Can you be made out of Carbon and Gold? Not with the Ted Baker Dover (it's a port).

Taking the Ferry won't get you from A to B.

Should you want to try the Ted Baker yourself, try it in front of a mirror. The T is fine on an a USB cable, but not on a headphone, and the mic remote is a fashion faux pas - as it hangs.

We looked at the Tiffany T Gold Necklace ($20,200.00 CDN), briefly. It's another genuine bargain, in that it's 36", and is separable into two 18"'s. As every man knows, 18 is a good age.

The bag that the Dover headphone comes with is fine for a silver necklace. It's a bit like the Tiffany pouch.

Product: Ted Baker Audio Dover In Ear Headphone in Polished Silver

For $99 it's a bargain.
