I have the typical ear buds that you sort of push into the ear canal and the kind you get when you buy any apple mobile product, but they always hurt after a while. Perhaps its just the unique shape of my ears or whatever, but they make my ears ache.
When I came upon a vendor table for Yurbuds at the Health Expo I decided to give them a shot. Mine happen to have green covers, or "enhancers" as they are called, but are otherwise identical to the ones pictured. The buds really do stay put in your ears when running. Only once have then been yanked out of my ears. See I picked up our dog during a run because there was this stray dog that decided to follow us a little to closely and she went berserk! Can't really fault the Yurbuds for that one :)
I do have one complaint and it isn't totally the companies fault. The enhancers are really easy to lose. Mine came with 2 extras so I'm assuming the company is aware that they slip off pretty easily. I think it was awesome of they to include the extras mind you, but I wish they were a little more grippy. All 4 of my covers were lost within a couple months so I ordered extras from their site. As you know I have 2 kids, a dog, a husband, a job, a social life and keeping track of my earbud rubber covers doesn't exactly take top priority. Luckily they don't charge an arm and a leg for extras, plus they ship really quickly. I ordered 3 replacement sets for $10 each and when they arrived I was delighted to discover that each replacement set was actually 4 covers and not 2 like I had thought, their site now points this out much more clearly. So now I have 11 extra enhancers. If my losing trend continues I won't need to order any more for 6-8 months ... I'm joking ... well sort of ... I'm more careful not to lose them now.
What are your favorite earbuds/headphones? Any good suggestions for some wireless ones that stay put and won't break the bank?
