Leo comes back to earth on this Turn The Table Tuesday!
September 7, 2009 2 Comments Turn The Table Tuesday, Tuesday, September 8th, 2009
Last week Leo made his new $70,000 audio console, the Telso Axia Element Control Console (on loan) his pick of the day! With today’s pick, Leo goes into the other direction. It can be found on the web for under $20. Leo discovered and loves his new iFrogz EarPollution Timbre noise isolating earbuds. They are standard looking earbuds, except that they sport a natural wood sound chamber. Leo says they really offer superb sound and that they are now his favorite earbuds. The iFrogz website claims “Timbre earbuds feature clean bass and outstanding audio ‘timbre’ as well.” Well, it seems that Leo agrees. He says they are as good as his earphones that cost hundreds of dollars. Each pair comes with three earfit pieces so you can customize them for ultimate comfort and ambient noise control. And the price? No, not hundreds, not even $50. Although the list price is about $50, ($40 without the mic) they can be found on the web for under $20. Leo has the model with the built in mic so he can use them with his iPhone. Without the mic, you can find them for down around $15.00! Tech Specs from the company website: Driver unit: 10 mm / Impedance: 16 ohms / Sensitivity: 103 dB / Frequency Response: 20 Hz to 20Khz / Cord Length: 1.1 m / Plug: 3.5 mm. The company website is below. There is an entire line of EarPollution Earbuds, but only the Timbre uses wood.

20 dollars? Is there a new Leo doing the podcast?
Actually, I found them on the web for $12.95 for the version without the microphone. But DGW fan Matt Batt emailed me to say that the price of the earpollution has been climbing since ths Netcast about them aired. He said they're $20 now. So if you hear about something you like on the DGW, best to get an order in right away.
Buy.com at one time had them for $10.99, but they're $10 more now:
