Earphones Worth More Than Your Head

By Jtaddeo

When you’re ready to “Pimp Your Head” by taking those famous white Ipod ear buds to the next level, check out Ultimate Ears, (a company co-created by Rockstar Drummer Alex Van Halen) and their latest product Ultimate Ears 700, duel driver micro-sized earphones (www.ultimateears.com).

Ultimate Ears 700 earphones feature 2 custom-tuned speakers in each ear.  As with cars, more engine means more power, and 2 high-fidelity speakers in each ear provide listeners with cleaner, more precise and powerful audio reproduction.  Flipping through my Ipod, Andrea Bocelli sounded like I was in a concert hall.  House Music sounded like The London Ministry of Sound, and Aerosmith sounded like before Steven Tyler went crazy and left for a solo career at 137 years old.   The buds sound so good, I’m afraid to put on Carmina Burana o Fortuna.

The setup includes four total sets of soft silicone rubber earpieces and two sets of comfy foam Comply eartips provide a much more natural feeling than say, the sharp stick sensation that you get for a buck on Jet Blue, but on the other hand, Jet Blue gives you Blue Potato Chips with your headphones, so for a fat guy like me, that’s a wash.

The Ultimate Ears 700 earphones merge fashion, size and performance to produce an incredible earphone that’s unlike anything else on the market. . .except of course their $1150.00 custom fit option that starts with soft clay molds of your ear canals!  Check out the full line of ultimate ear candy at www.ultimateears.com.

(So Sammy creates Cabo Wabo, Alex Creates Ultimate Ears, Michael Anthony creates Mad Anthony Hot Sauces and Eddie Creates . . . Wolfgang and gets Cancer?  Life is so unfair.
