Hey, here’s something I haven’t had to do in a long time; prepare to go back to school. Them’s were the days. Yup, back in the day, like any dutiful nerd, I would spend the weeks leading up to school, stocking up on school supplies. There were oversized binders, pocket protectors, Star Wars lunch boxes and masking tape to hold my glasses together. Good times, good times. And, as you can imagine, I was a hit with the ladies…
So, headsets. They’re like binoculars for your ears, and, there’s a lot to choose from. Don’t you ever wish you could have, like, an intern or butler, to do all the choosing for you. Well look no further because we here at Let’s Talk Tablets will be your very own summer interns, but not in like a Monica Lewinski sort of way. That would just be weird. So behold, our list of the best headphones for your tablet PC chosen especially for you. Yes, you!
