On 20 Years of Soundtracks to Life

Over at the BBC, a teenager named Scott compares an iPod to a Sony Walkman (read it here ). Scott is amused more than baffled by this obsolete technology, although it takes him a while to realize that a cassette tape can be flipped over. On July 1, the Sony Walkman will be 20 years old. It's hard to imagine what urban life was before the Walkman. Sony first introduced portable transistor radios in 1957 and these proliferated rapidly.

How Do You Like Earphones? Large, Jumbo or SUPERSIZED?

I know most people will go for supersized, from foods like burger, fries, pizza and soda to cars, SUVs, monster trucks and of course jewelry and blings. Everybody wants to have the biggest and the largest that it almost defines the phrase “Living Large”. Well for audiophiles who also want their share of the biggest, we just have the thing for you! Like a souvenir from a modern day Gulliver’s travel, the 500XL Big Earbud Speakers is a pair of supersized earphone. It is 500 times bigger than your

5 Stars Great Great Ear Clips
This is the BEST ear CLips I’ve ever had! LIghtweight as it advertised, it’s really really soft that makes me feel so great even with my glasses on. I’ve been suffeing because I love clips type, but most of them can’t stay along with my glasses. But this iLuv one works perfectly. It’s also great for bed use. I can simply feel nothing but music around! I’d like to get another pair in another color! (it’d be awsome if it’s available to change covers )

1 Star Nope….
Oh they look good and are comfortable.

Only one problem: they don’t work.

The left earphone did not work right out of the box. This is clearly the result of poor wiring or a short in the unit and poor quality control.

5 Stars These are great!
This is probably one of the few pairs of earphones I’ve had that actually stay in your ear. I’ve gone through MANY earphones that are clips, and they were always loose, or the fabric over the speakers would rip. This is definitely not a problem with these. The speaker is somewhat similar to an earbud, but the fact that these loop over your ear keep them in place. The blue on the earphones look somewhat like a gel in the picture, but it’s actually not. The blue on mine is a little darker than pictured. These also have a volume control on the wire, which I didn’t see mentioned. But for small headphones, they have a wonderful sound. And if you don’t like blue, they make it in several other colors. They go great with my iPod Touch and blue case!

ACOUSTIBUDS Silicone Adapters for Earphones CES 2009 INNOVATIONS AWARD Made in the USA for Ipod Zune Sansa Sony Creative Many More Mp3 Players White Two Pair Two Sizes

ACOUSTIBUDS Silicone Adapters for Earphones CES 2009 INNOVATIONS AWARD Made in the USA for Ipod Zune Sansa Sony Creative Many More Mp3 Players White Two Pair Two Sizes

Overview: Acoustibuds is a novel earpiece fitting for earphones sold with iPods, iPhones and most MP3 players. Acoustibuds revitalizes these earphones to provide unparalleled retention, comfort, enriched acoustics and sound isolation.

Stays in better: Acoustibuds use closely spaced flexible fins to stay in the ear more securely. The series of tall, soft and conformable fins flex in a manner that easily fit and retain to the ear. Even with perspiration and extreme physical activity, these fins continue to hold the earphone securely in place due to their unique profile and spacing.

Sounds better: Superior sound isolation is also created with the fins. The seal they provide helps to eliminate air gaps and create a multitude of sound barriers that both block out unwanted noise from outside and keep audio from escaping from the inside. Volume and bass frequencies are amplified allowing operation of your MP3 at a lower volume setting. Inside, the Twin Cone Core better channels the sound wave in your ear. The twin cone core guides the sound wave like a miniature acoustic horn to minimize sound impedance to provide enriched middle and upper range frequencies.
The fit of the earphone to your ear and how the sound wave is channeled inside your ear are fundamental to acoustic quality. Both the fins and the twin cone core features are firsts for earphones and are unique to Acoustibuds audio technology.

Feels better: Acoustibuds are formed from very soft hypoallergenic silicone rubber. This material, the fin geometry and the earpiece structure help to conform to the shape of the ear and provide increased comfort.

5 Stars Excellent Product!
The ACOUSTIBUDS are a really unique product. They not only keep the ear buds in my ears, but they make them sound 150% better. They also extend my iPod battery life because I can now listen to music at roughly 1/4 the volume needed before I had the ACOUSTIBUDS adapters. I am now hearing more accurate and complete sound throughout low, mid and high frequency ranges. It is hard to believe that something so seemingly simple could make such a meaningful impact in so many different ways.

5 Stars Must-have product for your Ipod
My ear buds would fall out when I leaned over or bent down. I almost threw them away. The ACOUSTIBUDS(tm) totally solved that problem. It’s an awesome product. Before the ACOUSTIBUDS(tm) the sound seemed confined. I heard the guitar, but it was distant. With the ACOUSTIBUDS(tm) the sound is more spacious and open. The guitar sound is much more prominent. I definitely heard an improvement!

I’ve been showing the product to clients as they come in. It’s fun to see how excited they get talking about their own bad experiences with buds and how your product cures all the evils. They obviously want a pair. I could be selling them here….. HA.
