House Of Marley Nesta In-Ear Headphones

House Of Marley has established itself as a frontrunner when it comes to practical, stylish and great sounding headphones, and piecing together some of the most attractive features of their past endeavours, they have delivered a formidable effort with the Nesta in-ears.

They’ve taken an interesting direction with a “jewel aesthetic” created through zirconia ceramic housing and stainless steel trim that somewhat clashes with the vibe of the tangle-free cable, but any clunky visual aspects are soon forgiven when listening to the clarity they deliver; which is ultimately what it’s all about.

“Tangle-free? Yeah, right,” is what you’re likely to think when first encountering such cabling, but anyone who has dealt with it in the past knows it’s a lifesaver.

That’s where they leap in as an ideal travel companion, as House Of Marley further developed their isolation technology to reduce ambient noise from intruding on the listener’s experience.

As most in-ear users will find, it’s hard to lock down a pair that truly deliver punch in the bass department, and unfortunately, this is where Nesta falls short. With that said, it isn’t all bad, though, as it makes them more appropriate for extended listening. There’s still plenty of clarity and definition on the lower tones, they just don’t have the same impact headphones deliver. Their impact given their extremely reasonable price point is worth it. House Of Marley's latest in-ears are an exciting move in the right direction.
