My Apple Feedback on Apple In-Ear Headphones

max — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 06:05:34 +0000

Well, I just returned my Apple In-Ear Headphones to the Apple Store mainly due to the fact that there’s not enough bass compared to my cheaper $30 Sony MDr-Ex earbuds.

Apple sent me if I wanted to give them feedback so I did and here’s what I wrote to them just now:
(I hope Steve Jobs reads this and makes the new headphones better with more bass and people don’t really need all that Volume/Mic stuff, it only works on the new iPods anyways. Maybe they will send me some samples for their new prototypes so I can review them here on the blog! )

I had to return the Apple In-Ear Headphones because the earbuds were not easy to fit my ears unlike my Sony MDr-Ex earbuds. Plus, bass was lacking.

I like the cases though and the earbud speakers are nice too since they are metal.

Overall, I think the In-Ear headphones need more improvement to be competitive with other earbuds on the market.

I like Apple but products like this turn away because the outside looks nice but it simply doesn’t perform for the money I pay. It should perform better than my $30 Sony MDr-Ex earbuds.

However, I was very pleased at your checkout process, handheld Windows CE units are always impressive at the Apple store, regardless of the Windows part. I am not a big Windows fan but was very pleased that I could buy stuff very quickly and also return stuff very quickly as I had my receipt on my Blackberry GMail client.

Overall, pricing shouldn’t be so high for these new In-Ear Headphones, especially since Apple has begun to make them, they are too crude in comparison to many, many other earbuds on the market.

Here’s a review I did on my blog:

I would be happy if you could send me samples of your new products in the future although I can only guarantee an honest opinion of a consumer.

This will also go on my blog so… I hope you guys make Apple earbuds better in the future so I don’t have to return them.

DIY HACK – How to build a cheap bluetooth audio for your GPS!

max — Mon, 05 May 2008 05:44:06 +0000

Here’s a good instructable on how to build a cheap bluetooth audio for your GPS. If your GPS doesn’t already support bluetooth (I believe most don’t), this is a great cheap way to get all those audible directions into just the driver’s ears, not everyone in the car.

I needed a way to hear my cheap a$$ GPS under the helmet on my motorcycle and didn’t wanna fork over 2x the price for a “motorcycle ready” GPS device so I made it myself.
This may be interesting to bikers a well!

Giant iPod ear buds

David Allen — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 15:00:21 +0000

These are what are what you call ear buds, a bit too large to place in your ears, unless you have a huge head.

These giant sized ear buds will make a great addition to the top of desk or work space, and because they are giant sized they look really cool and have got to get people talking, which is great. They are in fact 500 times the size of a regular set of ear buds.

Harmony Bionic Ear System

max — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 14:19:32 +0000

Hmm…cool biornic ears, great stuff~

Boston Scientific’s bionic ear gets FDA approval today, perfectly timed to save the hearing of Metallica fans rounding 40+. The piece delivers 120 spectral bands, which is 5-10 times more than the competition. Hmm…120 bands? I bet that makes the world sound as if it were in MIDI. The internal sound processor hooks into the brain, while the external processor automatically adjusts gain to make speech clearer, whispers audible, and keep the brain from exploding in the vicinity of loud noises.
