If you have been looking for running earphones, or earphones for any physical activity look no further. I have found the perfect product for anyone who is active outside and loves to listen to music. My hubby rides his road bike regularly and loves to listen to music as he does. For safety he leaves one ear open (as you should) so he only uses one side of his headphones. It always annoyed him that the sound quality was never right since standard headphones are made to use both sides he didn’t get the full effect of the music. Also, it annoyed him to have to tuck in the other headphone to get it out of the way. He needed a single earphone to solve his problems. Then I was introduced to
One Good Earbud:
“Designed for enjoying music or fielding mobile calls, our in-ear style earbud with in-line microphone can be worn comfortably in either ear for a secure, near-customized fit. Compatible with iPhone, LG, Blackberry, Motorola, and HTC smartphones, as well as all other mobile phones that accept a 4 conductor 3.5mm plug.

The One Good Earbud is available in different styles: In ear, wrap around, iPod style, with or without a mic…For my hubby I got the In ear with Mic. It is perfect for him since he likes to be able to answer his phone as he is riding, with the mic he is able to do just that. The sound quality is great with this single earbud and he no longer has to worry about the other earphone getting in the way. This earphone is great for any activity where awareness is needed as well as for use with his smartphone while driving, etc…This single earphone is also ideal for someone with a hearing impairment in one ear.
We were also sent BuDLoKs to review and I’m glad we were!
BuDLoKs:
“BuDLoKs replace the stock, in-ear budtips produced by other manufacturers.

Technical Specifications:

BuDLoKs are a great way to ensure that your in ear headphones stay in your ear. My hubby uses them with his in ear one good earbud while riding his bike and exercising and they work great. He no longer has to worry about his earphone falling out while he is active. They provide a really nice snug fit and since they come in a pack with 3 different sizes he was able to find the best fit for him. And it worked out that a different size fit my ears so even more bang for our buck!
I highly recommend both One Good Earbud and BuDLoKs to anyone with an active lifestyle! You can see more info and purchase at www.farendgear.com.
