August 2, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment
Worried about hearing loss for your always-connected-to-the-iPod kids? Now there’s earphones that have volume-limiting components built directly into the ear buds. These elements are invisible to kids but give parents peace of mind.
Ultimate Ears’ LoudEnough ear buds reduce sound pressure levels (SPLs) by up to 20dB, which is heard as about one quarter of the volume, relative to other noise-isolating earphones. The brightly colored earphones also include 6 sets of changeable ear tips that are crafted to fit the smaller ear canals of children.
Available in three vivid colors, Blueberry, Mint and Plum. The LoudEnough earphones also include six sets of changeable soft silicone ear tips; two sets of the following sizes are provided: extra-small, small and medium. These are crafted to fit the smaller ear canals of children. The earbuds’ shape and snug fit yield maximum wearing comfort and noise isolation. Also included is a color coordinated pocket-ready carrying case.
The 3.5 mm connector works with most portable music sources like the iPod, iPhone, Zune and other MP3 players. In addition, LoudEnough works with DVD car entertainment systems, TVs, PCs and gaming devices (e.g. Sony PSP, Xbox and Nintendo).
LoudEnough earphones are priced at $39.99 and are available at www.loudenough.com
