Acoustibuds offers a new approach to improve the fit and channeling of sound to the ear. Acoustibuds was awarded 2009 design and engineering showcase honors at the Consumer Electronics Show. Acoustibuds is designed for the standard earphones provided with the Apple iPod, Apple iPhone, Microsoft Zune, Sony and many other MP3 players. Acoustibuds also fits many aftermarket earphones and some of the most popular Bluetooth headsets such as the Jawbone2, BlueAnt Z9 and Apple. Not designed to fit earphones that already come with elastic in-ear fittings. Still have questions? Please visit the Acoustibuds product website for a more complete model specific list of compatible Earphones and Bluetooth, tips and instruction for use.
The Acoustibuds design revitalizes earphones to provide unparalleled retention, comfort, enriched acoustics and sound isolation. The closely spaced fins are soft and flexible to stay in the ear more securely. Even with perspiration and extreme physical activity, these fins continue to hold the earphone securely in place due to their unique profile and spacing. Superior sound isolation is also created with the fins to seal out noise from outside. Volume and bass frequencies are amplified allowing operation of your MP3 at a lower volume setting. Inside, the "Twin Cone Core" better channels the sound wave in your ear. The twin cone core guides the sound wave like a miniature acoustic horn to minimize sound impedance enriching middle and upper range frequencies. The fit of the earphone to your ear and how the sound wave is channeled inside your ear are critical to acoustic quality. Both the fin design and the twin cone core are unique to Acoustibuds and are new ideas in earphone audio technology.

I only use "in ear" style headphones due to the need to block out sound while on my daily mass transit commutes, and I've been the happy owner of a pair of Shure e2c phones (that I lost in a move) and a pair of Etymotic er6i (after about 3 years of use, the right channel wire severed at the 90 degree plastic piece near the plug). After I was unable to repair my er6is, I was in the market for some new phones. I had a pair of Sennheiser mx400 ear buds that I had got for my girlfriend as replacements to her iPod phones, but she didn't like their fit. I like the sound of the mx400s but the fit and lack of an acoustic seal were a problem for me, so I decided to try out the Acoustibuds with the mx400s as a cost-effective new setup.
When I first received the Acoustibuds I was fairly pleased with the fit, as the buds sat comfortably in my ears and didn't move while walking/running. However, the acoustic seal was not nearly as effective as any of the previous in ear phones I've had. One of the selling points of the Acoustibuds is also that they increase bass performance, which I found to be true both for good and for bad. Recordings that had previously seemed a bit "thin" with the mx400s alone now had noticeably fuller bass, however with hip hop and some jazz the bass was too loud and "buzzy" in my ears, which was uncomfortable. With some EQ tweaking it was resolved, but I prefer something more neutral.
My big problem with the Acoustibuds is their durability. These come 4 to a package. 3 weeks after I first started using the Acoustibuds, one developed a crack in the "ring" which encloses the earbud. Within a few days after that the hole had grown to a point where it would no longer stay on the earbud at all and had to be thrown away. I replaced it with one of the remaining Acoustibuds, but again within a few weeks the other "original" Acoustibud seemed to have lost its elasticity in the ring, and continually fell off the earbud. Unsurprisingly it was lost soon thereafter. In less than 2 months I was down to 2 out of the 4 left in the pack.
I decided to superglue the remaining two Acoustibuds to the earbuds, which did seem to help, however in my 4th month of owning them one of the Acoustibuds did crack and fall off, so now I'm left with just one.
In my experience, you'd be much better off taking the money you were considering spending on the Acoustibuds and applying it towards the purchase of an actual pair of in ear headphones.

I was looking for a way to keep my iPod earbuds in my ear on my walks. The product is a great idea, but beware, not everyone's ear canals may be big enough. Even the smallest of the two sizes provided is too large for my ear canals. I have taken a scalpel to one set to remove some of the ribs - it fits a little better, but they're still a pain to insert. Again, I still think the product is a great idea, IF you're lucky enough to have the right size ear canal for them.

I bought these buds to enhance my cell phone bluetooth headset (Jawbone II) as recommended by other users... Boy, what a mistake. I tried the various sizes on the headset, but they just didn't work out like I thought they would. The bud kept slipping out of my ear and the sound quality did not improve. I tried turning the buds to different angles, etc., but nothing seemed to work. I dunno... Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but they were a waste of money for me.

I purchased these for a pair of sport earbuds I own, and they worked wonders. Surprisingly, I have smaller ear canals, but the size 6 pair worked the best. They provide some sound isolation (noise-canceling and those silicone-tipped earbuds are most likely better) but they do increase sound performance from whatever you're listening to. I usually listen to my Nano at about half volume, but I can easily reduce the volume now down to about 1/4 of the way. They're also quite comfortable, and manage to stay in my ears, even with an occasional yank and whatnot. Would recommend these for any and all earbud users; It definitely makes them much more bearable to use!

Only one of the 2 sets would fit in my ears. And while they did give added traction to dollar store headphones to make them fit a little better, they didn't solve the problem. They still would fall out. Although if you used these with a head band over your ears, then you could run and jump and they would stay in :)
