Kanye West is giving away free Adidas Yeezy Boost sneakers if you guess his album title

By

The best things in life are free, especially when they are tweeted. In his usual, quizzical manner, Kanye West announced on Twitter his upcoming album has a new, secret name, and anyone who can guess it will get tickets to his upcoming Madison Square Garden show and free sneakers.

The G.O.O.D. Music founder took to his personal Twitter account to announce the album’s new secret name and gave only one clue to its title: the acronyms T.L.O.P. This is the third time Mr. West has changed the name of his eighth studio album since last May when he changed it from So Help Me God to SWISH. This should be the final name change as he is debuting season three of his apparel line with Adidas as well as his new album at Madison Square Garden this Thursday. The event is selling out quickly, so this guessing game is your best bet at seeing the show if you do not already have tickets.

Kanye may also be handing someone hundreds of dollars and not even know it. Hours before he announced the guessing game for the sneakers and tickets, Adidas confirmed the re-release of the “Pirate Black” Yeezy Boost 350 next Friday. Adidas released the “Oxford Tan” color of the insanely popular Yeezy Boost 350 on December 29 for $200. At press time, less than a month and a half later, those same shoes have been resold for as high as $900, according to resale market tracking site Campless.

So, either get the guessing or break open the piggy bank. Yeezy Claus is coming to town.

That’s not the case with the products on our list of the best headphones for kids, though.

We want our child-tailored headphones to include parental-controlled volume limiters, to ensure our children aren’t harming their eardrums. Pretty much every entry on our list checks this vital box, but we also wanted to point you and yours toward products that offer exceptional noise-canceling, built-in mics for phone and video calls, and long-lasting batteries for schooldays or a long flight.

Casual listeners might boot up Spotify or turn on the radio to listen to music without giving the balance or sound stage much thought. Audiophiles on the other hand like to dig a bit deeper and customize their experience. One common way to tinker with how music sounds is adjustments to the equalizer, which offers the freedom to tweak every aspect of the sound booming out of headphones or speakers. Even some streaming services now have built-in EQs, giving you more ways than ever to play with your music and find something that best fits your ears.

Shaping the equalizer to your preferences can be daunting to newcomers, as there are tons of cryptic settings you can manipulate. And if you mess with the wrong one, your sound quality might take a nasty hit. Thankfully, learning the basics isn't too difficult.
