Griffin TuneBuds Earphones

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:49:34 +0000

These feature a cute, colorful style to match that of the iPod. They actually have impressive bass response which is hard to find in these types of headphones and for such a low price. They are also pretty good at blocking out some ambient background noise which is a good feature to have. Some of the cons to this product are that earbud housing is plastic and feels sort of cheap, and the cable doesn’t seem very durable. Some also say that the music produced by these earphones is lacking in warmth and the high end frequencies sound too sharp in some songs. All in all these are well suited for iPod owners on a budget who want ultra-portable earbud headphones to match their player. Bass addicts have taken a liking to this model, and at a retail price of about $19 they fit into most people’s budget.

Acoustic Research ARE09 Noise Isolating Earbud Headphones

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 21:29:54 +0000

These are an excellent choice because different from “noise cancelling” technology these headphones have the ability to isolate all outside sounds. This is not a huge difference from the noise canceling but definitely provides for a cleaner cut sound experience. These in ear head phones are light weight, durable and are designed to fit perfectly inside your ears. It is important to have ear buds that fit properly because when doing tedious work or working out, you don’t want the headphones to fall out. This is usually what happens to me and it’s very annoying. These ear buds contain 8mm drivers, gold plated 3.5mm stereo plugs, 20Hz-20kHz frequency response, 10dB for sensitivity and 32 ohms impedance. These are all important factors because when listening to music you want to be able to get the perfect sound level which you’ll achieve with the 20Hz-20kHz and power. The best feature about these in ear head phones is that sound levels are easily controlled with the noise isolation technology. These headphones come with rubber cushion ear buds and a 3.5′ cord. They are generally all black except the gold-bronze plating around the earbuds. This product can be purchased at most electronic stores and retails for $40.00. If you’re looking for a terrific pair of head phones for cheap, then these would definitely be the right choice for you. Since these are not too expensive they are also great as gifts.

Bose In-Ear Headphones

Sat, 12 Sep 2009 20:04:15 +0000

These are truly a great choice if you have $90 to spend. Bose has been a reliable stereo company for many years and has brought us some of our highest end products. With Bose earbud headphones you will receive extraordinarily clear sharp sounds. These headphones transform your living room, gym, job or the train into a concert stage. You will feel as if you’re at a live rock concert with the advanced technologies implemented into these headphones. Bose’s in-ear head phones come with three different size silicone ear bud adapters. This is very important because you want to make sure that your earbuds stay in while performing activities. With the ability to change your earbud size you will ensure that your headphones will be comfortable, conform to your ear shape and size and give off excellent sound. These are light weight, come with clear silicone earbuds and a black cord. There is generally not too much to say except that they produce great sound transcription and are simple, sleek and durable. Upon further investigation I have learned that Bose in-ear head phones have both pros and cons from users. The pros are that for “normal” ear sizes (unlike mine which are small) these head phones will stay in during high endurance activities; give off extreme bass power and pay attention to sound detail. Yet the cons that were reported were that the ear buds themselves get very dirty quickly and noise is not blocked out. Overall these have received a positive review from users, for doing what Bose basically does best, and that’s create clear crisp sound reproduction and lots of bass. These in-ear head phones have been rated very high in bass power and levels. So, if you’re someone that is already a fan of Bose products and the sound they produce you will probably be a fan of these as well. These are compatible with Apple products, mp3 players, laptops and PC’s. They can be found at Bose stores and most electronic stores/dealers. They retail for about $90.00 and have been rated worth the price. Bottom line is that they are small and easy to conceal in public, durable, long lasting and make a great gift. **A newer version of these earbuds has been released, see below:

Audio-Technica ATH-CK52WBK Ear Bud Loop Head Phones

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 21:28:39 +0000

These are generally designed for women. They are black with a 4′ cord that is able to be wrapped up. The fact that you are able to wrap up the cord is very helpful in maintaining the items function because other cords get tangled and damage the ability of sound to flow. This product allows for easy storing and constant upkeep of the cord. Although the cord may come with a beneficial feature like being able to easily store it, the cord is not coiled and cannot be folded. These earbud headphones care compatible with the iPhone and most mp3 players. These headphones also come with three different rubber ear bud sizes. This includes one small, one medium and one large rubber earbud piece so that you can adjust them to your ear size. The creators of most headphones now know that it is important to have a perfect fit when using in-ear devices. If your ear bud head phones fit correctly, they will be comfortable, conform to your ear shape and stay snug and fit during high endurance activities as well as slower paced daily activities. Audio-Technica Earbud Loop Headphones come with a gold plated 3.5mm connector so that they can be used with multiple products such as laptops, PC’s, iPhones ,iPods, most other mp3 players and of course stereos. These ear buds are an excellent choice because they are implemented with 10.7mm driver’s strong power and 14Hz-24,000Hz for perfect sound transcription and frequency. These headphones also include a noise canceling feature which blocks out outside noise and create an optimal environment for listening to clear music. Attractions like 104dB/mW, 16 ohms and 200 mW are the reason these are so highly praised. The above stated highlights generate powerful, effective, sharp, crisp sounds. This lets music lovers feel as if they are actually listening to a live show. Audio-Technica has been designing music devices for quite some time now and only develops the best quality products. If you are interested in purchasing this item it can be found at most electronic stores and retails for $70.00. These are not cheap but they are comfortable and are specially designed for women.

Acoustic Research ARNC01 Noise Cancelling In Ear Headphones

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 17:27:42 +0000

Acoustic Research model ARNC01 headphones are great because they have special noise cancelling out technology. This provides for all outside sounds to be blocked out and crisp vibrant acoustics to be heard. This item does have noise cancelation but it does not isolate sounds. It may seem like the two are the same but noise isolation makes sure that you cannot hear any outside sound while canceling noise out just makes the sounds coming out of the headphones more distinct. The background sound might still be heard depending how loud it is, but the music will be louder, sharper and more powerful. These ear bud head phones are light weight and have 9.3 mm drivers so that they can fit into your ear without falling out. Acoustics Noise Canceling earbud headphones have the latest technology implemented within them, containing 20Hz-20kHz frequency response, 102 db/mW sensitivity and 32 ohms impedance. The above listed assets allow for these in ear head phones to produce great sound with intense power. These simple but sheik ear buds are easily compatible with Apple devices and are made with silicone for soft ear protection. The cord that comes with this item is about 3.5′ long and is not coiled or foldable. The fact that it cannot fold may seem like a hassle but in reality it will prevent you from placing the headphones in poor places where it can later be damaged. These ear bud head phones are all black, ear buds and cord included. This product can be purchased at most electronic stores and generally retails for $60.00.

Choosing the Best Earbud Headphones

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 17:13:30 +0000

Welcome to EarbudHeadphones.org! We are proud to be the place you go to for your earbud advice. Our site offers a large variety of brands, details, price ranges, specifications and top selling ear bud head phone reviews. Some of the top brands we review are Samsung, Skull Candy, JVC, Sony, Apple, Phillips, Rocketfish, Alpine, chicBuds, Bose, Monster, V-MODA, JVL, Sennheiser, Burton Technologies, Coby, Grado, Panasonic, Koss, Denon and Shure just to mention a few. These products can be purchased in an array of colors and are perfect for a multitude of purposes. In ear head phones can range anywhere from $9.99-$500.00. Wow that’s a really big price range! Some of those top brands like Shure charge steep prices for Voiceport technology in your ear bud microphone. Now if you’re like me your thinking wow that’s pretty cool, I can adjust my sound levels by just asking? And you know those annoying cords that always get in the way when you’re working out? Yea… with Shure’s head phones you can remove the cord to take away that annoying hassle.

But don’t fret my friends if you’re not all caught up in high end technological advances and just want a simple product that does the job, that can be yours too. Hey- what’s your favorite color? Ya? Well we can make sure you get that color. Interested in finding out some specs? What about an audit of what special features and technologies your item comes with? If so, we can be the website you’ve been looking for. If you’re interested in finding that quality product for the best price offered we’ll tell you where you can get that. Once you’ve decided which product is best for you you’re one step closer to making it yours.

One of the benefits of earbud headphones is you can isolate outside sounds from interfering with what you’re listening to. This seems like a simple feature but a lot of head phones don’t completely block out the noise. Finding the right ear bud head phones for you is important because they need to be comfortable, durable, stay in your ears (since most usually fall out) and implement excellent acoustics. This is a great product overall because they are easily concealable for that long commute to work on the train or just simply not paying attention in class while hiding under your hoodie. Besides these great ideas you can use them at the gym where they’re most valuable. Whether you’re jogging or just keeping up with the times, we can help you find the best set for you.

Audio Technica ATH-CK6ABK Earbud Loop Headphones

Sun, 23 Aug 2009 21:47:24 +0000

These are black with three changeable loop pieces. These three different loop sizes allow for the headphones to have a perfect fit in and around your ear canal. The actual ear bud is black and made of either rubber or silicone. From an outside perspective they seem as if they might not be as “snug fitting” as advertised. Personally they look like they would fall out of my ears in a second, but I can’t vouch for others. If you are concerned with keeping your ear buds in (which I assume most would be) then I might not get these in-ear headphones, although, you will be the best judge of whether you like this product or not. On the other hand, they come with some pretty cool technology. These earbud headphones have 100dB/mW when used at 1kHz of sound. This provides for very true sound filled with lots of power. Audio-Technica Ear Bud Loop Headphones also feature 15Hz-284,000Hz for a very high quality of sound transcription and 16 ohms for efficiency and function. They are designed with 10.7mm drivers for clear sound reproduction and are compatible with most Apple products. They are also light weight, durable and come with a 4′ cord. The cord is not coiled and cannot be folded. These earbuds are not water proof (you know just in case you were thinking of taking a swim with them) and are not noise canceling or noise isolating. Therefore these headphones may not be for you if you want to block out outside sounds or make sure people cannot hear what you are listening to. Some people have their music, news or whatever it is you’re listening to on a very high sound level and people can complain. (This has happened to me at the gym) When people around you make comments to you or ask you to lower your sound it can be annoying and rude and some headphones have been designed to specifically ensure that that does not happen. Unfortunately these in-ear headphones are not one of those. These ear buds do not have that advanced technology but they do have 200 mW which provides for a powerful input of sound and a 3.5mm gold plated stereo plug. As most in-ear headphones, they can be purchased at most electronic stores and retail for a whopping $100.00.

Apple Earbud Headphones MB770G/A with Remote and Mic

Sun, 23 Aug 2009 21:17:08 +0000

These are the standard earbud headphones for most Apple iPod devices and they are white with a grey circle around the speakers. They have a long, thin white cord and come with a remote and microphone. This model of Apple’s ear buds is a more upgraded version of the headphones that the Apple products generally come with. These in-ear head phones have a microphone so that you can record voice notes and memos. Some people might find this feature worthless but others can use it to record a name of a song, a time for a TV show or a quick shopping list as long as you have ipod compatible models. These ear bud head phones are small, durable and easily concealable. If you have small ears like me, it is hard for you to find head phones that stay in your ears. These in-ear headphones generally stay in better than other brands for me. Although other brands may be much better for people with normal ear size, for me these work well. This product has an extra perk as it comes with a remote as mentioned earlier. The remote can be used for a number of things such as adjusting volume, pausing, playing, rewinding, fast forwarding, viewing videos and so forth. Unfortunately there are some downsides to these earbuds and that is the fact that they are not waterproof, do not cancel out sounds, do not have ability to isolate out sounds and are only work with certain Apple models. These earphones are compatible with 2nd generation iPod touch, 4th generation iPod nano and the original classic 120 Gb iPod. Many reviewers state that this item is pricey for what you get and that they have problems with commands being followed by the remote. The remote apparently controls everything and there really aren’t any buttons, so if it doesn’t read your voice I can understand how it can be a hassle. Other users say it’s a good buy for the price and generally has crisp sounds and average overall qualities. These earbud headphones can be found in most electronic stores and retail for $29.00.

JVC Marshmallow Ear Bud Headphones

Sun, 16 Aug 2009 18:02:04 +0000

The JVC Marshmallow’s are one of CNET’s top rated ear bud headphones, garnering three and a half stars out of five. You must be thinking, 3.5 out of 5 is the best? We thought the same thing also, but after reading why we started to understand the rating. The positive points to this model are that they offer a secure, comfortable fit for most people and they produce good audio quality. At a cost of $15-$16 you can’t expect these to make mind-blowing sound, but they definitely do the job well. Another plus is that they are sold in a wide variety of colors to match any recent iPod Nano. Some of the things that could be considered cons are that the top part of the cable seems a bit fragile, and the shallow earpiece design may not work for everyone. Overall these are an exceptional value thanks to an ultra-low price tag combined with solid audio quality.
