ifrogz Earpollution Plugz Pro Reviews

If you need an inexpensive set of ear buds for any type of digital media player, these are a good buy. They are comfortable to wear for long periods and seem sturdy. iFrogz also sells a small waterproof carrying bag for an additional $1.99. While the sound alone rates 3.5 stars, the price pops them up to a 4-star product.

Portable headphones come in two main styles: in-ear and on-ear. The former comprises the ultratiny earbuds and canalbuds that you place at least somewhat inside your ears, while the latter often features a headband and circular earpads that rest over the ears. iPod accessories maker iFrogz offers several models in both varieties, but the in-ear Ear Pollution Plugz headphones are the subject of this review. Unfortunately, this $15 set rather lives up to its name, offering audio quality about on par with the stock 'buds included with most MP3 players. On the plus side, the earphones offer a hint of style, an ultracompact design, and a comfortable fit, so they could work in a pinch for those on a budget, but the similarly-priced Griffin TuneBuds are a better option for those who like bass.
