New Review: iMuffs Wireless Headphones for iPods

Thursday September 4, 2008
If I had to choose my number one exercise pet peeve, it would be headphone cords. These tangling, dangling cords always seem to get in the way, wrapping around objects as I walk by and often ending up on the floor with my ears attached. I'd love to have back all the minutes I've wasted just untangling my headphones before a workout.

Enter the iMuffs Wireless Headphones. When these guys contacted me to review their headphones, I turned them down because I've tried other wireless headphones and didn't have the best experience. After some convincing, however, I decided to give them a try and I'm so glad I did. You can read the details in my review and please leave a comment if you have any experience with iMuffs or any other wireless headphones.

The headphone cord drives me crazy too. I always tuck it under my shirt and clip my iPod to my spandex shorts. That way it doesn’t get in the way of my arms when I run. It helps a lot.

Now anyone who lives in cold climates recognizes the name iMuffs as a take-off on earmuffs, but a number of more juvenile writers across the web seem to find the name a giggle. There is no accounting for bad taste. Thankfully, the iMuffs wireless headphones are very tastefully made.

I’m still staying away due to the price. I’d also like to have those minutes back from untangling cords, but I’ve learned how to keep it to a minimum. Bring the price to $50 and we’ll talk!

I agree with Dave. The chords can be put away where they tangle less and when/if the price comes down I will look more closely at purchasing.

Exercising with headphones or earbuds is rude and apparently used by wussies that have a difficult time focusing on their workouts or are intimidated in the gym and wish to be left alone…
