F<\/span>or those who know me well, it’s not a secret I love a good audiobook. \u00a0I’m always listening to one. \u00a0It’s become a joke with my family because I wear headphones around the house. But, my favorite place to listen is the beach. Audible.com<\/a> is my friend.<\/p>\n

This is my set up at the beach. Hat, Headphones, Suntan lotion and I’m good to go!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Laundry or cleaning up takes on a new life when you’re listening to audio. \u00a0It makes the mundane bearable. \u00a0\u00a0A long car ride or a brisk walk is one of my favorite times to enjoy audio.<\/p>\n

I like sitting near the jetty and watching the waves crash. It’s mesmerizing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It allows you to become immersed in the story, and time flies. \u00a0I feel lucky because I live near the beach, so popping down there after work or early morning is a breeze. \u00a0It allows me to enjoy the outdoors and to take in all the activities around me, yet it’s peaceful and relaxing. \u00a0My headphones buffer any outside noise.<\/p>\n

Watching the boats come in the inlet is another favorite while listening. So relaxing!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sometimes it became uncomfortable having earbuds in my ears for an extended period. \u00a0I was taking breaks from listening just to give my ears a rest.<\/p>\n

What could be better than seeing surfers as you relax at the beach?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I complained about this often, so I received new headphones as a gift from my daughter for Christmas.<\/p>\n

They come in a case that is helpful when traveling.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It has changed my listening experience! She gave me the Bose On-Ear Style, which I liked. \u00a0But my younger daughter suggested I exchange them for the style that cups your ears instead. \u00a0They are more comfortable, and the buffer outside sound better. \u00a0I agree! \u00a0The Bose Around-Ear Style headphones<\/a> are fantastic.<\/p>\n

No more taking breaks, and the sound quality is excellent. \u00a0They are amazing! The Bose headphones will make a huge difference in your audio-listening experience.<\/p>\n

I ended my day watching the boats go back to their dock.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I love Audible.com! \u00a0I have their app on my phone, so I’m never without a book, and their selection is impressive. \u00a0I can’t say enough about their customer service. They’re easy to contact and quick to respond. \u00a0\u00a0If you listen to a book and find you don’t like it, you can return it, no questions asked.<\/p>\n

One time I was going on a trip and needed a book, but I didn’t have any credits left, so I decided to upgrade my subscription. \u00a0I would have had to wait until the next billing cycle to get my book, so they gave me a free book to tide me over. \u00a0 If you’re interested in trying an audiobook, Audible.com has a free trial. \u00a0If you’re new to audio, below are a few suggestions to get you started.<\/p>\n
