Surely many times you thought:
- I would like to ride a bike and listen to my favorite music or radio .. but most solutions involve complications ... double headphone not let you hear what's happening around you, usually be uncomfortable and not suited to your move ...
This week we have a new product to test, this time our friends from Far End Gear have sent us two of its flagship products: Brite Buds & Budloks.
And here is our review of these products!
First we test
Brite Buds, developed with the nocturnal athlete and outdoorsman in mind,
Brite Buds™ Reflective Cord Earbuds employ the same inter-locking plaiting
process used in high-grade parachute cord. Weaving water-resistant
fibers with glass bead retro-reflective threading has resulted in the
creation of the first line of reflective earphones specifically designed
for strength and increased visibility during nighttime activity.
Brite Buds™ are available in both a standard, stereo model or a single
sided, stereo-to-mono version mixing both channels of sound from a
stereo audio device into a single ear - enabling the wearer to maintain
alertness in any environment. We test the single sided model, it
comes in three sizes to help you to adapt the headphones to your ear size. It's really useful for riding, you can hear your favourite music and hear what's happen around you, perfect to increase your security.
Abour the sound, we tested the headset connected to our phone, sounds good, more or less keeps the volume of other stereo headphones, its shape fits your ears and prevents to mix other sounds in your ears.
Second, we test
Budloks, Soft, silicone wings
gently lock into the bowl of the wearer's ears, comfortably locking them
in place during general activity or vigorous exercise.
Try them with iPod-style earbuds or your favorite in-ear earbuds from
Coby, SkunkJuice, JLab, GOgroove, Skullcandy, Beats by Dr. Dre, Monster,
Klipsch, JVC, Thinksound, Sony, Sennheiser, Shure, Philips, and Far End
Gear to keep them from falling out.
