Tired of Earbuds That Don’t Fit?

Do you enjoy listening to music or podcasts while on a run? I sure do, especially if it’s a long solo run. Whether it’s to help pass the time, distract me, or keep me on pace, music sure helps. Problem is I have small ears and as a result, I have a hard time finding earbuds that will fit my ears and not hurt after a short time. I’ve tried the over-the-ear variety and they just usually jostle loose shortly after my run begins.

Well, I can happily report that I no longer have earbud woes. I’ve finally found a product that fits, stays in place, doesn’t irritate my ears, and works. They're called yurbuds™. (No, that’s not a misspelling.) yurbuds™ are custom sized earbud enhancers (produced by yurtopia LLC) that increase comfort, don't fall out, and enhance sound quality. They fit right over your existing earbuds or you can purchase yurtopia’s version of earbuds called yurphones™ that come equipped with the custom yurbuds™.

yurbuds™ come in 6 different sizes, but no worries about having to guess which size is your size. During the online ordering process, you’re prompted to send a digital picture of your ear with your current earbud in place or if you don’t have earbuds, you simply take the picture with a quarter placed near your ear. This helps the yurtopia determine which size is perfect for your ear. Sounds involved, but it’s not. I did it and received my yurphones™ with the fitted yurbuds™ in just a few days. They fit great!

During my first experience with yurbuds™, I wore them just about all day, while listening to my mp3 player. During that time, I took them for a spin on a short 4-miler and later in the day wore them during a workout at the gym. Since then, I’ve worn my yurphones™ and yurbuds™ on several long distance runs. No pain, no slipping, great sound, and due to the great fit, they prevent sweat from getting in my ears.

A single pair of yurbuds™ sell for $19.95 and a pair of yurphones™ equipped with yurbuds™ sell for $29.99. To check out yurbuds™ for yourself go to yurtopia’s website www.yurbuds.com.

yurbuds™ get's 5 out of 5 "Dudes" for being such a great product and such an easy solution to a problem for many runners.
