Acoustibuds offers a new approach to improve the fit and channeling of sound to the ear. Acoustibuds was awarded 2009 design and commerce showcase honors at the Consumer Electronics Show. Acoustibuds is designed for the standard headset provided with the Apple iPod, Apple iPhone, Microsoft Zune, Sony and many other MP3 players. Acoustibuds also fits many aftermarket headset and some of the most well loved Bluetooth headsets such as the Jawbone2, BlueAnt Z9 and Apple. Not designed to fit headset that already come with elastic in-ear fittings. Still have questions? Please visit the Acoustibuds manufactured goods website for a more perfect model specific list of well-matched Headset and Bluetooth, tips and lessons for use.
The Acoustibuds design revitalizes headset to provide supreme retention, comfort, enriched acoustics and sound isolation. The meticulously spaced fins are soft and flexible to stay in the ear more steadily. Even with perspiration and extreme physical activity, these fins continue to hold the headphone steadily in place due to their unique profile and spacing. Superior sound isolation is also produced with the fins to seal out noise from further than. Volume and bass frequencies are amplified allowing operation of your MP3 at a lower volume background. 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 lessen sound impedance enriching middle and upper range frequencies. The fit of the headphone to your ear and how the sound wave is channeled inside your ear are vital to acoustic quality. Both the fin design and the twin cone core are unique to Acoustibuds and are new thoughts in headphone audio technology.

 A nice addition for Jawbone 2 |

| I bought these in an ongoing effort to supplant the wretched earbuds that came with my Jawbone 2. I wasn't sure that they would be terribly effective, but after trying them, I am very satisfied. I used the nominal size on top of the nominal 'stock' earbud, and it worked very well. You do have to get the angle just right, but after that, it fits fine, and doesn't require an ear loop. Sound quality is noticeably superior as well. I have also tried the Jabra mini-gels which are not compulsory for the Jawbone 2. They give a nice tight fit, without the clogged-up ear feeling that the Acoustibuds can present, but the sound quality was kind of tinny; the Acoustibuds sound much better. They are a small pricey, but if they can make a $90 bluetooth headset work like it should have in the first place, then I suppose they are worth it. |
Comfortable and Effective, disappointed first, excellent for exercise

The small version. Out of the box I was disappointed, but after trying them anyway, was surprised at how comfortable and effective they are. Excellent buy.
The package contains two sizes, "5's" and "6's" which equates to the number of fins on the Acoustibud, and the "6" is, on close inspection, about a millimeter in diameter larger. When I buy an in-ear headset with different size inserts I always end up using the nominal version so must have a relatively small ear canal. Though there are two sizes, I suspect most people will be able to use both sets. Either one seems to fit my ear.
Out of the box, I didn't like these, because they just didn't feel like they'd stay in. I had the expectation that they'd feel more like an earplug, but they didn't feel snug. But they had several excellent Amazon reviews so they'd earned some patience and a honest trial.
They assemble easily on an earbud. They're very soft, comfortable, but for me just didn't seem secure. With all the wiggling the directions indicate are necessary they "seat" OK. But I found I had to sort of stretch my earlobe and fidgit to get them in.
But I've worn them running for a small over 50 miles now and concluded that the "not feeling secure" is simply remarkably soft comfort. They've never hinted at falling out. If you exercise intently with any kind of earpieces you've experienced perspiration working its way into your ear or around the headset. It's mainly annoying with any "in the ear" piece. The Acuostibuds block the perspiration from the inner ear. Nice unexpected benefit.
They don't shield any appreciable noise. As a point of reference, I have some low end in-ear Shure's that I use on airplanes, and they DO block noise. And I have some Radius Atomic Bass that are also "in-ear" and block noise well. For exercise applications it's better not to block the further than world. But they do seem to well..."direct" the sound. With the Acoustibuds I can turn the sound down to a significantly lower background.
I bought the Acoustibuds because I have a drawer full of earbuds that came with devices and thought I don't know this would reclaim a few of them. Acoustic quality isn't much of an issue when you're running.
For me, the fundamental application is exercise or where on earth where you're moving around |
Fantastic Ipod Addition!!

| I heard the inventor of this manufactured goods interviewed on WGN Radio in Chicago and knew that I had to try them. I received the manufactured goods the day after ordering, and was blown away with how much it superior the basic headphones that come with Iphone. I have over the ear Audio-Technica headphones that I really like, but am questioning if I need them now that I have the Acoustibuds. The sound quality seems just as excellent if not better, and they do a fantastic job blocking out un-wanted noise. I could not be more pleased with these mainly given how affordable they are!! |

| I use my Acoustibuds pretty much every day. I am completely satisfied with these things. I use mine for running, biking, and mowing the lawn. Yes mowing the lawn. Now instead of examination the loud lawnmower I hear my music. |
I like these!

| These earbud covers are incredible. I use my MP3 player in a variety of situations, together with running, biking, working and riding horses, and working further than. The largest problem I had with my former earbuds is that they would fall out of my ears when I got the cord caught on a touch or if I went my head too much. I do not have this problem with the new earbuds. They are very secure in my ears and do not get pulled out unintentionally. They are also very comfortable in my ears, and allow for excellent sound quality. |
