Winner – Yurbuds Inspire for Women

I loved all the suggestions for favorite songs.  Since I am currently the owner of a broken iPod and an OLD iPod with outdated music, I’ll need to soon be changing things around and updating my playlist along the way.  I will definitely be going thru the list of your favorite songs in an attempt to get a few new jams on my new iPod.   Thanks for helping me out.

Without further ado, the winner of the orange Yurbuds Inspire for Women is #23 – Jennifer Ralston.  Her favorite song is currently Cult of Personality by Living Colour

Jennifer, please contact me at amanda@tootallfritz.com and give me your mailing address so that I can get this in the mail ASAP.  I’m hoping you get them in time to use them at a local Turkey Trot!

For the rest of us, the Yurbuds Inspire for Women can be purchased  at Target.com by clicking this link HERE or at any Target retail store.  I’m planning to pick up a pair in green for myself and the pink ones for Aby.  I love the $29.99 price point which makes these a great gift for the active ladies/kids in my life.

I hope you all have a great week and happiness and music fills the air for you and your family.

Yurbuds Inspire for Women Review & Giveaway

image

If you haven’t heard the buzz about the new Yurbuds for women, then you probably have a toddler in the house I’m here to spread the news!  In the last couple of weeks, Yurbuds has launched a new product line designed for women by women.   They released the Inspire for Women earphones.

At first glance, one might assume that they just “colored up” the normal Yurbuds but these were specifically designed to fit smaller ears.  According to the spec sheet below they also feature the patented TwistLock Technology and they are sweat and water proof!

FEATURES:

  • Designed specifically to fit smaller ears
  • TwistLock (TM) Technology – Guaranteed to never fall out
  • Flexsoft (TM) Comfort Fit – Ergonomically designed to avoid nerve rich areas of the ear
  • Sweat & Water Resistant – Designed for active use
  • Exceptional Sound – Clinically proven acoustics
  • Angled-Flex Plug

My number one issue with earphones is that they do not fit my ear.  If I take music on a run I rarely use it or I “save” it for when I need it.  I am never able to listen long because my earphones dig into my ears and hurt.  And I can’t even count the number of times that I have made the decision to turn on the music and I don’t get any sound because the wires and/or device got wet and wouldn’t work.  I stopped taking music with me for the above reasons.   It was for these same reasons that I honestly wanted to try the Yurbuds Inspire for Women.

They came in the mail and I was tentatively excited (iPod not included).

There are two sizes of earphones in each package.  I compared them to a penny as a point of reference and am super happy my old bar skillz of standing a coin on end FINALLY came in handy!

Yurbuds Inspire_size & penny 

I opted to try the smaller set since the larger size is the approximate size of an iPod earbud and that is normally too large for my ear.    They fit perfectly.  First use was indoors on the treadmill.  I plugged in while the family was milling around the house and crossed my fingers!  I am normally not able to hear my music unless its blaring because life around me is “abuzz”.  However, these earphones twisted in, fit well and I was immediately impressed with the sound quality AND how loud my player was from its last session.  I was able to turn down the volume considerably and still hear the tunes.  Plus, I kept thinking that the music just SOUNDED so much more vibrant (can I use this word for SOUND?) than normal.  Hmmmmm…..  So strange.  So I ran, was sweaty and nasty, able to hear the music the entire time and the sound was sooooo much better than I remembered.  The earphones never hurt my ears and they never moved.  In fact, I was so intent on the sound of the music, I forgot about the earphones all together.  This is good for me!  Sweaty photo below.

I’ve since tried the Yurbuds Inspire for Women earphones multiple times both indoors and out and I’m in love with these things.  They sound “normal” when only using one earphone but really shine on the sound quality front with both earphones locked into position.  Oh yeah, and they fit my ear!  They fit when I run, when I do the StairMaster and Elliptical.  Next up, a Tae Bo workout.  If they can survive Billy Blanks, then they will survive any fitness activity!

I’m definitely going to pick up a pair of these babies in pink for Aby for Christmas.  I know the size of earphones is always an issue for her tiny ears as well.  I’m super excited about this new product!

The Yurbuds Inspire for Women are exclusively sold at Target and Target.com.  They are reasonably priced at $29.99 and I’m going to get a pair for Aby ASAP before the holiday rush begins next week!!!  If you would like to grab a pair now without getting out of your PJs then click HERE to shop!  Or you can always try to win these:
