Want to take your tunes outside? Well those standard-issue ear buds that came with your iPod or iPhone still leave a lot to be desired. When you decide it’s time to upgrade we suggest looking for a number of things in your next purchase: sweat and water resistance; long (at least 40 inches) tangle-free cord; and an in-ear or over-the-ear design that prevents the ear buds from falling out.
Here are three that meet that criteria:
Skullcandy Chops – The bargain of the group at under $20 MSRP. Good sound quality and an over-the-ear design that stays put. See review.
X-1 Momentum – These small in-ear models are weatherproof and sweat proof. They are also the only products in our test to include an inline mic and volume control. See review.
Yurbud Inspire Duro – The company’s Twistlock design keeps these in-ear products where they should be at all times. See review.
Check them out and let us know what you think by leaving a comment.
Thanks for reading another outdoor gear review from GearGuide. And thanks to Skullcandy, X-1 and Yurbuds, along with (a)zione, Martz Agency and Verde PR for providing product for this review.
