Earbuds Shaped to Your Own Ear — Yurbuds

YurbudsI use headsets all the time, mostly Bluetooth headsets for the phone or in-ear buds for good audio pleasure. I rarely use standard earbuds like those that come with the iPhone / iPod because I find them uncomfortable after a while. I find the same to be true for many Bluetooth headsets — they just don’t fit my ears comfortably. That’s why I find the new buds from Yurbuds to be so appealing. It makes a pair of earbuds that is custom fitted to your ears, for only $20.

Custom earbuds are nothing new, professional artists use them all the time. Their buds are extremely expensive and far beyond the reach of us regular folks. Yurbuds, on the other hand, are cheap and aim to provide the same long-term comfort from the expensive type.

The key to the Yurbuds is the fitting process, and they’ve developed a unique way to measure the ears of each customer. It works like this — customers put a regular earbud in the ear and then snap a picture of the ear with the bud in place. Yurbuds have software that can derive measurements and ear shape from the photo. They take their resultant measurements and then make a pair of soft buds that fit that particular ear. The Yurbuds can be slipped onto any regular pair of earbuds for maximum comfort. They can also be used with many Bluetooth headsets. Not too shabby for $20.
