In case you hadn't noticed, music isn't just for kids and teens. Moms love music, too!
| If your mom loves going to concerts and other live music events, then the perfect Mother's Day gift might be a pair of music and concert earplugs. Also known as natural-sound musician's earplugs, these music earplugs provide hearing protection without distorting the music. Some of our favorites are the ever-popular Etymotic ER-20 Earplugs, which come in two different colors and have an optional cord to make them easy to keep track of at the show. We also think a set of Alpine MusicSafe Pro Earplugs would make a great gift for the concert-going mom: they come with three sets of filters so she can get just the right amount of sound protection -- so whether she enjoys chilling in the back of the venue or getting out in the mosh pit, with these high-quality concert plugs, Mom can pick just the right amount of hearing protection to suit her needs. |
If Mom plays in the band herself, check out our selection of musician monitors and mixers. We offer a great variety of musician monitors from Shure, a brand you know you can trust. Because monitors are complicated, you'll probably need to check out all our musician monitor options to find the right one. If you need help choosing, give us a call at 1-800-426-7959, and we'll personally help you pick out the perfect gift for your musical mom!
(And here's a tip: the prices shown for these musicians' monitors are primarily MAP prices -- those are just the minimum prices Shure will allow us to advertise on our website. But if you call to place your order, not only can we help you choose the perfect gift for your music-playing mom, but we can also tell you our current price rather than the one listed on our website! How cool is that? Call us and check it out!)
| Of course, not all music-lovers also love going out to shows or playing in a band. If your mom just wants to listen to high-quality music from the comfort of her own home, we have some great gift ideas for her, too. Our earphones come in a range of styles to fit any music-lover -- and any budget! Ultimate Ears Super.fi 4 Earphones are some of our most affordable high-quality earphones, but don't be deceived by the relatively small ($79.95) pricetag: they contain the same technology used in Ultimate Ears' custom in-ear monitors, which are used by a wide variety of today's most popular musicians! Moving toward the mid-range, Shure SE215 Sound Isolating Earphones come in at just under $100 (but again, as with our other Shure products, this is a MAP price -- so if you call to place your order, we can tell you our current price on these high-quality in-ear earphones!) They deliver detailed sound quality and enhanced bass, and they're sure to make your music-loving-mom smile. And at the top end of the spectrum, we have the Westone 3 True Fit In-Ear Isolation Earphones -- these little babies aren't cheap, but they feature triple-balanced armature drivers in each ear, with a three-way crossover and an excellent form factor, making them a truly fantastic gift for even the most discriminating audiophile. |
Finally, if Mom prefers an over-the-ear headphone (rather than an in-ear earphone), we recommend a set of Creative Aurvana Live! Headphones: they provide vibrant sound, they're lightweight and ergonomically design, and they're perfect for the mom who wants to listen to her favorite tunes on-the-go or around the house.
Music is a wonderful part of life -- and whether your mom enjoys going to live concerts, or just listening to her iPod in the comfort of her own home, we know one of these gifts will make this Mother's Day one she'll remember for a long time to come!
If we still haven't found the right gift for your unique mom, stay tuned for our final installment in our Something for Every Mom series!
And until next time, be safe and do the right thing.
