When someone puts on earbuds, they’re pretty much telling the rest of the world to not bother them. It’s the universal symbol for shut the hell up. But if someone put on this Magic Pencil earbuds? That’s a conversation starter. I mean, these earbuds make it look like a pencil has been stabbed in one ear and out the other. They’re hilarious! More »
The Yurbuds Ironman Inspire Pro finished third in our Best Headphones for Running Battlemodo. We loved the fit, but the sound wasn’t particularly impressive, which is why we were excited to get the Inspire Limited edition—with redesigned drivers—in our ears. The results were… puzzling. More »

Until now, it has really been a bother to roll up and unwind earphone cords every time you want to use them. With this product, you may never feel stressed out about a tangled cord again…
And the days of your earphones dragging behind you on the …
MartinLogan is famous for some of the most absurdly expensive sound gear that normal humans would never ever consider buying. Like a lot of legacy audio companies, ML is now trying its hand at personal sound, starting with these lovely little buds. They’re impressive, but they’re designed disposable. More »
Everyone’s ears are shaped differently. In fact, often, a person’s right and left ears aren’t even identical. So it’s hard to find earbuds that fit just right. More »
Chest strap heart rate monitors are uncomfortable and annoying. HRM watches, like the MIO Alpha, have a lot of potential, but they still lose contact frequently. Valencell is going in a different direction, building a heart rate sensor into something most of us are already wearing: our headphones. More »
[CES 2013] Moshi has just announced their latest set of earbuds that will hopefully live up to its namesake – the Moshi Mythro, which would make it the seventh addition to its Moshi Audio range of premium earphones. Each Moshi Mythro pair will come in a stylish, canal-fit earphone that boasts of an integrated microphone which was specially designed for seamless use with the iPhone, iPod touch and other compatible mobile devices. With the name being inspired by ‘Mithril’, a rare kind of metal that was mentioned in JRR Tolkien’s novels, Mythro was developed to target the aesthetically-discerning music lover who want a high-quality headset, delivering superior audio and great bass along the way to maintain Moshi’s standards, and doing so without burning a dragon-sized hole in your pocket.
The Moshi Mythro boasts of a durable metal casing which remained ultra light in weight, thanks to the clever use of anodized aluminum, making it capable of delivering a crisper sound compared to earphones with generic plastic housing. Not only that, Moshi claims that the Mythro produces a meaningful level of bass without having to sound ‘muddy’, a common issue that plagues other entry-level earbuds. Each $29 Mythro will come with three sizes of hybrid injection silicone earbuds for superior noise isolation and comfort, where you can choose from gunmetal gray, jet silver, tyrian purple, satin gold, rose pink, and burgundy red colors as it hits the market this February.

At CES 2013, Monster is updating its line of sports earphones with three models that will succeed the Monster iSport Immersion which was introduced last year. This time, they have three models called iSport Victory, iSport Intensity and iSport Strive. All three address a specific market of active users who need earphones that are impervious to water (yes you can swim with those if you want), but there are differences: (more…)

JayBird has launched its premium micro-sized earbuds, the BlueBuds X. These earbuds are Bluetooth-enabled, and are the official training headphones of the USA Triathlon, indicating their usefulness for athletes who want to listen to music without dealing with a headphone cord. You can pick up a pair of BlueBuds X for $169.99.
The BlueBuds X feature PureSound, a white noise filter that removes the white noise generated by earbud headphones. This feature aims to stomp on the listener fatigue that commonly results from the white noise, producing a more enjoyable listening experience for longer periods of time. Meanwhile, the Signal Plus feature helps the audio remain stable via a “clear constant signal” to the accompanying Bluetooth player.
These little in-ear headphones feature approximately 8 hours of battery life, more than long enough for a week’s worth of workouts for most users. Keep in mind, this battery life is coming from a pair of micro earbuds that look scarcely large enough to include any sort of battery, let alone one that provides hours of playback. IPhone users can monitor battery life via an onscreen icon; charging is achieved with a micro-USB cable.
The BlueBuds X come with a lifetime warranty against sweat, which appears to be a fancy way of saying that they’re sweat-proof. They’re specifically designed to fit well for use during sports, while their micro-size makes them unobtrusive and comfortable; they can be used both over and under ear, depending on preference. As says the press release, these earbuds are “lock and loaded ready for anything you can dish out.”
