With all the audio related products out this holiday season, from smartphones to mp4 players, a good pair of ear buds is a great gift for ANYONE. Skullcandy with the FIX IN-EAR model, has even found a way to bring us good music quality directly into our ears with a patent pending ear bud design. The new designs fixes the issue many of us find with ear buds: they constantly fall out. After being given a product sample of these ear buds, I went out jogging through Central Park with them. Not only to test audio quality into a loud environment but also to test out the fit. I say, Scullcandy has a hit with the design and audio quality for these mid-range priced ear buds.
While this model is actually designed for iOS products, I’m currently using them with my Android phone as well. The mic feature doesn’t work outside of an iOS product which is sad since I don’t have an iPhone. The audio controls do work luckily. I’m kinda against brand specific products but even still I say kudos on the audio quality of these ear buds.
