Innovelis BudFits

This one’s for all of your that enjoy running, cycling or any other type of exercise. You certainly noticed that your earbuds fall out from time to time — that’s in case you’re using a “default” pair of earbuds that came with you mobile phone. Thanks to the neat product from Inovelis called BudFits that won’t happen any more.

With all the hype surrounding Apple’s products, Inovelis is naturally pushing BudFits to the iPhone and iPod users, primarily. There release clearly states:

Constructed of soft, flexible rubber, BudFits snap onto Apple earbuds and then wrap over the top of the ear. In doing so, they ensure iPod and iPhone earbuds will not fall out and also maximize user comfort by eliminating the need to wedge earbuds into the ear canal to keep the earbuds in place. BudFits quickly snap onto earbuds to provide extra support and comfort, yet they can be easily removed for times when extra support and comfort is not necessary.

However, from what I saw, I’m sure earbuds from other manufacturers will work just as well. In case you do jog often, you may want to check out BudFits website for more information. The question remains, though, are BudFits worth 9 bucks? You be the judge.
