Audeo Earphones claim to be the most comfortable

If you have trouble finding earphones that actually fit you, these Audeo Earphones might be a good option for you. And even though the headphone market is pretty over-saturated, these are worth mentioning.

audeoheadphones-sb-480x320

To accompany your MP3 player, these headphones come from a company called Phonak. They’re based in Stafa, Switzerland and these earphones look to be rather comfortable. In fact, the company claims they can be worn for many hours without hurting or becoming irritable.

These earphones are also interesting because they are tailored to allow for lower volume listening while maintaining clarity. This greatly reduces the chance of damaging your eardrums. Outside sounds are also blocked out, meaning you don’t have to crank it up to hear your tunes. You can try out the Audeo Earphones now. Both with with any 3.5mm player.

Ultrasone HFI-15G portable headphones announced

Ultrasone announced their HFI-15G headphones today, which are super portable and actually the smallest headphones in the Ultrasone HFI line thus far. But don’t mistake a small form factor for a lack of features.

text6-480x149

In fact, the HFI-15G headphones feature the S-Logic Natural Sound Technology, which is patented by Ultrasone and acts to limit sound pressure by 40% on your eardrum and creates a more natural surrounded sound. This makes for a much safer and enjoyable music experience.

It also sports a decentralized driver position, which means it points the audio at your outer ear, rather than your inner ear. Other specs include a frequency range of 20-20kHz, an impedance of 32 Ohm and a sound pressure level of 96 dB. You can get the Ultrasone HFI-15G headphones now for $109 at various retailers.

Razer Moray In-Ear Headphones Lightning Review (Great for $40)

The Gadget: Moray in-ear headphones from gaming gear giant Razer, designed to be ultra-bassy and equally suited for MP3 players or Nintendo DSes.

The Price: $40.

The Verdict : Razer’s surprisingly strong suit appears to be audio. While the build quality of Moray is pretty typical of $40 buds (and sadly, Razer gear all-around), they definitely perform above and beyond their class.

Like V-Moda’s Vibes, they’re all about bass, and pack plenty of surprisingly rich punch there. But they also suffer a bit from the same problem that plagues most bass-heavy buds—slightly muddy sound in mids and highs. Still, these seemed to be as clear as the $100 Vibes, if not more so, in my mix of test tracks from several different genres.

They come with three pairs of buds—small, medium and large—which have a weird rubber/plastic hybrid feel to them. Not unpleasant, per se, just kinda cheap feeling. The seal isn’t quite as firm as with pricier buds, but it’s not bad.

While I wouldn’t necessarily recommend these for jazz or anything that you would demand super exceptional clarity for (you would really need to step up to a higher price range there), they’re very capable for their class, and are a solid choice if you mostly listen to hip-hop or rock (or you know, game).

V-Moda Vibe II Headset Lightning Review (A Sequel That Beats the Original)

The Gadget: V-Moda Vibe II, the first real successor to the Vibe and Vibe Duo headphones, with a totally new eco-friendly design, sport earhooks and most importantly, better sound than the originals.


Price: $128, "a nod to the BPM of most dance tracks" (no, really).

Verdict: Okay, so the new METAL + gem aesthetic decidedly appeals more to ladies, goth kiddies or Eurotrash. But! Everything else is better.

The Vibe IIs mostly preserve V-Moda's super-bassy signature, but are less intensely boomy, which is a good thing, since now they've definitely got more clarity in the mids and highs than the old set, and an overall cleaner, more balanced sound. (Though they're still plenty bassy.) The mic was clearer too, or at least that's what my mom told me.

The included accessories package is bumped up as well. You've got four bud sizes—up from three—to choose from, so people with Obama-sized ears down to munchkins should be able to find one that fits. And there's a pair of clip-on sport earhooks that add stability for running and working out—jogging and bouncing around the house, they made the fit surprisingly more secure. The only real issue with the clips is that it seems like they're begging to be lost.

I still hate the tangle-prone fabric cord, but at least they've got the recently introduced less suicidal headphone jack, so they hopefully won't run into the same plague the original run did.

Overall, these are a solid update to the original Vibes and Vibe Duos, that are better in every way (except looks). If you like them, you'll be a fan of the Vibe II. That said, if you've already got a pair, it's probably not worth chunking them to pick these up. But when those die, or if you're looking for a slightly bassier iPhone headset, check these out.

ZAGG Z.buds earphones announced

ZAGG is pretty well known for their accessories and these new Z.buds earphones just add to that fact, adding one more category to the company’s product range. Interestingly enough, the Z.buds have already received the status of 2009 CES Innovations Design and Engineering Showcase Honoree.

zbuds

Some of the features housed within the sleek package of the Z.buds includes passive noise cancellation, which makes it so conversations and music can be heard much more clearly, fuller sound and more. The cord is made out of nylon, making for a more durable product and you have many options when wearing the earphones.

For instance, you can wear it around your neck, the back of your neck, over the ear or however you feel comfortable. Both black and red color options will be available. You have the added benefit of these earphones acting as a handsfree headset as well, with a built-in microphone, in-line volume and more. These earphones cost $64.99. You can pre-order them now, but they won’t be shipped until December 1st.

New Apple Premium In-Ear Headphones With Dual Drivers Only $79

To go with the Skittles smorgasbord of new iPod nanos, Apple's got a bunch of new accessories. By far the most exciting are their new premium in-ear headphones. They've got dual drivers (woofer + tweeter), a setup you don't see until about the $200 mark with say, Ultimate Ears' Super.fi 5 Pro or Shure's E4c-n set, which used to be over $300. And these have got a built-in remote and mic. Yet they're only $79. The first iPod earbuds that don't suck—amazing. Not so amazing: It appears that their remote and mic only work with the iPods launched today.

Ars indicates that mayyyybe the playback controls will work. (Laaaame.) They come with three sizes of silicon tips—which could be a problem, since great isolation headphones gotta have a perfect seal, otherwise they can sound flat. It's why Shures come with a ridiculous number of tips. There's also a carrying case in the box.

Also on the menu are new headphones and armbands. They've got an in-line control feature with volume and playback control (next, prev, play pause) from the button as well. There’s a microphone on the back that works with the voice recording apps, but as with the premiums, the expanded features only work with the new iPods. They'll be $29 this month.

Creative Zen Moo MP3 Players are cow-tastic

In case you’re on the hunt for a totally unique MP3 player, then you might want to consider the Creative Zen Moo MP3 Player. Yes, you read that right. These little MP3 players are designed in the shape of a cow and are feature-filled.

zen_moo-480x319

You have two options when it comes to the Zen Moo MP3 Players. There’s the Moo and the Moo Plus. That’s not even a joke. Both styles come in four different colors: pink, red, white and yellow. The Moo Plus, however, sports a few extra features like an integrated speaker, FM radio, voice recorder and OLED screen. It also has a game built-in that you can control by means of the cow’s horns.

The Moo model, on the other hand, just plays back music. Both, however, are equipped with 2GB and support both WMA and MP3 formats. Unfortunately, the Creative Zen Moo MP3 Players will not be available in the US or any of the western world, for that matter, though you will be able to get it in China.

Griffin Adds Microphone and Controls to TuneBuds For the iPhone, iPods

Griffin has announced updated versions of their TuneBuds Mobile and SmartTalk products for both versions of the iPhone, the iPod nano 4G, iPod touch 2G, and iPod classic (120 GB). TuneBuds are intended to be an alternative to Apple's upcoming premium in-ear headphones—both offer a built-in microphone and remote for answering calls and controlling playback, although Griffin's version costs considerably less at $40 (but that is without the dual drivers). Or, if you prefer, Griffin's updated SmartTalk accessory will give you the microphone and remote functionality with your current earbuds for only $20.

Griffin Technology Announces TuneBuds Mobile and SmartTalk Updates

Updated Earphone & Mic Solutions Now Extend Recording Capabilities

NASHVILLE, TN - November 10, 2008 - Griffin Technology Inc., creator of all things iPod and iPhone, today announced the availability of updated versions of their TuneBuds Mobile and SmartTalk audio solutions for iPhone and iPod. TuneBuds Mobile and SmartTalk are now both equipped with inline microphones compatible with iPhone, iPod nano 4G, iPod touch 2G and iPod classic 120 GB

"We upgraded TuneBuds Mobile and SmartTalk so that both iPod and iPhone users alike can record audio and enjoy a superior listening experience," said Mark Rowan, Director of Product Development at Griffin Technology. "With so many great apps coming out on iTunes such as our recent iTalk Recorder application, we wanted to offer iPod users the ability to enjoy those apps that require an external mic."

TuneBuds Mobile offers great-sounding earphones with crisp, clear highs and powerful, deep bass. The buds fit the ear snugly, with washable ear cushions in a selection of sizes, and conform to the ear for maximum comfort and sound isolation. Built-in is Griffin's ControlMic, a high-sensitivity microphone and control button. Griffin has even given thought to the cord, made of nylon braiding for strength, good looks, tangle-resistance, and durability.

SmartTalk is a headphone adapter solution with the same great microphone and control button features as TuneBuds Mobile, but which allows users to plug in their own favorite earphones. The noise-canceling microphone ensures clean recording and conversations, and the ControlMic button allows convenient Play, Pause and Skip forward controls. SmartTalk features a 30" cable sheathed in nylon braiding.
