Chicbuds Headphones Are Brightly Colored Fo Realz
March 19th, 2010
My wife uses her iPhone for listening to music a lot. She uses these cheap pink earphones when she listens that sound worse than the stock Apple earphones. The other day I got a really nice set of earphones for her from V-Moda that sound great. I handed them to her and told her they sound much better than what she has and her first response was those aren’t very cute. I’ll never understand women. It seems many care more for what something looks like than how it works.
A company called chicBuds has some appropriately girly headphones that come in colors that would make Stevie Wonder say man that’s bright. You can get the things in a pink color that is typically only seen in an emo girl’s hair. If the pink isn’t obnoxious enough for you, a multi-color set is also available.
I wonder if the multi-color set was painted at a Blue Man Group concert. Either color headphones are available for $29.95 (USD) and will work with any gadget using a 3.5mm headphone jack. The headphones have 44mm drivers and a frequency response of 5Hz to 20KHz, not that the specs matter, they are (debatably) cute after all.

I’m a woman, and I care about the quality of the products I use (I’m following Technabob, what else do you need). I am really not fond of the tone of this post. But then again, what do the specs of this blog matter, as long as the articles look cute?
I know we’ve got lots of gamer and gadget girls out there reading the site, and no offense was intended.
I have these and the quality is amazing! Thanks for posting… I find that although I love to be unique with my electronics style…function and quality is most important…. These get 2 thumbs up!style+function love girly geek!!
I have Rockbuds, which are Chicbuds with a different color scheme intended to attract male buyers. I am terribly disappointed with the sound quality. The lower bass notes sound dull and muffled. The middle notes are only ok, and the high notes are almost non-existent. There is a noticeably shrill feedback sound in between songs. If all that weren’t bad enough, if the wire close to the jack is wiggled AT ALL, the sound cuts out in one ear. Plus the retractable feature, (which is the main selling point) gets tangled far too easily. I’ve owned retractable earbuds before, so I know there are much better brands out there. I guess I just got suckered in by the “cool” designs. The lack of online reviews should have tipped me off to its poor quality. If you care about audio quality, bass, treble, etc… then look elsewhere.
