Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Innovelis BudFits (Frosted Clear)
Customer Review: Pricey but they work
Summary: 4 Stars
I give this product 4/5 stars for two reasons:
-- They are a bit pricey (they are just molded silicone rubber).
-- They don't come in different sizes.
For functionality, they get a 5.
These work fine for me. I use the Apple iPod ear buds (2nd generation) and wanted to be able to use them while running without having to fiddle with them. This fits the bill.
I like how the ear bud cord fits perfectly into the slot in the Budfit and stays in place. The ear bud itself is also held in place nicely and does not swivel easily on the Budfit.
They are right and left-handed, and they have little right and left hand icons molded into the rubber (but a bit hard to see).
There are some things you should consider:
-- It's a bit tedious to fit the ear buds into the Budfits. You are not going to want to be doing that a lot. If you don't think you're going to wear the Budfits all the time, then you should get a second pair of earbuds.
-- They might not fit your ears very well. I don't have huge ears, but I definitely "notice" the Budfits snug on my ears. They are not uncomfortable, but they are not exactly comfortable, either. I am able to forget about them, so I guess there is no problem, but for the price, I think they could have included two sizes in the package.
-- It's not hard to get them in place on your ears, but they don't go on nearly as quickly as putting in a pair of ear buds. I find that it goes faster if I pull my ear through them, rather then trying to get them around my ear.
-- No way sunglasses can work with these--at least comfortably, and not with a good fit.
-- Your ear bud cord will be about 3" shorter than normal because of the added distance around your ears. My ear buds are pretty short (apparently Apple made different lengths) and I need to use a small extension when the iPod is in my pocket.
-- You should try out your ear buds upside down in your ears before buying these. You can take the ear bud cord and drape it backward around your ear, just as if you were using the Budfits. If the ear buds feel ok and still sound ok then you are good to go with the Budfits. I find that the Apple iPod earphones (2nd gen) fit perfectly in my ears the "right" way, and pretty good upside down, as well. I checked the sound in both positions and couldn't tell much difference.
You might think you could use your ear buds upside down without the Budfits, and you might be right. Try it out. My ear buds stay in place pretty well without the Budfits, but I did notice the ear bud could move around a bit without the Budfits (thus changing the sound). With the Budfits, there is no movement.
Overall, a good product, but kind of pricey.
