We know of Brother Strut thanks to Twitter’s “You might like” section. Brother Strut covers quality music well. Brother Strut interprets music written by others with good cheer, skilled musicianship, and session musician execution. Donald Fagen and Michael Brecker would have hired these guys en masse for any of their many 72-hour one-song workshop studio sessions. What else may we discern without seeking help from Wiki? Brother Strut is easy to listen to and captivates beyond the background. Brother Strut has penetrated the tall wall of discernment here at Cool Media, LLC, and warrants your full attention. Now we have exhausted the small talk and the 24-hour search for Brother Strut originals. It is now time to seek outside source help.

WIRELESS PORTABLE HEADPHONES

OnePlus Buds Pro Headphone

This wireless Bluetooth model from OnePlus delivers very good sound quality and active noise reduction, combining elements of in-ear and earbud earphones. These earphones have an isolating design and an ambient sound monitoring feature; they will provide some muffling and electronic canceling of external noises and reduce the amount of sound that escapes from the earpieces. As such, they are best for those who want highly portable earphones that reduce the noise they hear from their surroundings or don’t want the sound from the earpieces to disturb others.
