Chad's Crap Corner - but his gadget of the week just might be good!

This week the gadget in Chad's Crappy Corner is the ACOUSTIBUDS Model EPB Tips. Leo and I did an earlier version of these and we like them. They are not ear buds themselves, but are designed to enchance certain models of earbuds. According to Amazon the new Acoustibuds EPB Tips fit the following earphone and Bluetooth products: Apple EarPods, Apple EarPods included with the Apple iPhone 5s, 5C and 5, Apple iPod nano generation 7, Apple iPod touch generation 5, Plantronics M50 Bluetooth, and Plantronics BackBeat 903+. Amazon goes on to say: The shape of your ear is unique and not related to your body size or gender. Many people can use more than one size of ACOUSTIBUDS, and your left ear may take a different size than your right. A larger size provides more sound isolation and bass. Most people can listen at a reduced volume because of the seal to the ear. Stretch ACOUSTIBUDS Flexible Tips over the contoured earpiece of your earphones. Then, wiggle ACOUSTIBUDS into the ear with an up-down motion. They offer noise-isolation and are water-resistant. And now Chad’s take on ACOUSTIBUDS. Chad like the fact that they added noise reduction to his current Apple EarPods and redirected the music more toward his ear. He also thought they were certainly worth price, 2 pairs in 2 different sizes for $9.99. If you do a web search you can also find them in white.
