Nexus 7 Headphones

The Nexus 7 speakers are OK, but most of us will be plugging a pair of headphones into our tablets, or, failing that a pair of external speakers.

In this day and age headphones come in a whole range of shapes and sizes, and more recently manufacturers have been cashing in on the trend for headphones that double as a fashion accessory.  We take a look at a few of the options.

Nexus 7 Headphones

The Nexus 7 has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, this means that any normal headphones made for iPods or Walkmans (spot the 80′s kid) should work no problems.

Here are some suggestions for headphones:

  • The ‘Beats’ brand from Dr Dre has undeniably shaken up the headphone market.  Seen on the heads of many a celebrity and more recently the headphones of choice at the Olympic games, these are the headphones of the moment:
