AirDrives Interactive Earphones – Music Wherever You Go

AirDrives Interactive earphones are built to keep up with your many activities. On the leading edge of the transducer is a landing pad to position and secure the speaker forward of the ear canal while the sleek molded ear grips form to fit around your ears. Make them tight for intense sports or loose for comfort. AirDrives can take all the sweat you can dish out. Exercise safely with full awareness of your environment so you never miss another social opportunity while rockin' out.

Ideal for an active lifestyle enhanced by music

AirDrives earphones are sports tough with a new cinch around the ear design for a secure fit while leaving room for helmets and sunglasses. Just loop the wire over your ear, cinch it down and go! The volume ramp on cord is adjustable through your shirt or with gloved hands.

How It Works

The open ear design utilizes the ear to its full advantage by optimizing the ears' natural ability to interpret sound while allowing users full awareness of their surroundings.

You shouldn't have to choose between music and social interaction. AirDrives address the growing health and safety issues and their open architecture means there are no uncomfortable buds in your ears.

5.0 out of 5 stars These headphones are a real lifesaver!!!!, November 15, 2007

This review is from: Airdrives INA099100 Interactive Earphones (Video Game)

I like to jog around my neighborhood and like everyone else, enjoy listening to headphones. A few months ago I was jogging accross an intersection where all the cars were stopped. I could see the cross signal and just kept going. A police car went flying through the stop light and I could not hear it until I was about a foot away. I could have been killed!!

After that I jogged with the volume low but that didnt help me hear any better. I heard about these airdrives from some buddies in my yahoo group who like to jog as well. I got me a pair for $99.00. I thought it was kind of high but it's better than getting killed.

I am very pleased. The sound quality is top notch, they sound better than my ear buds I paid $200 for. I can crank up my tunes and still hear everything.

Overall, a fantastic product! well worth the price!

I love these headphones. They are comfortable, they sound great (a little bit light on the bass but fantastic mids and treble), they stay on my ears through all kinds of activities (from running to the treadmill and weightlifting to biking), they are a great solution to the new hands free law in California when driving on the cell phone, and the best part, they allow you to stay in tune with your outside environment, whether you are talking on the cell in the car, jogging on the sidewalk or riding your bike on the street, or walking around the grocery store. You don't have to shut yourself out anymore. If you want to talk to someone, just turn the volume down while leaving the headphones on. Great stuff!

I exercise outdoors, running and biking, and have been concerned about being able to hear what is going on around me while listening to my iPod nano. These earphones wrap around the ear and have the speakers positioned in FRONT of your ear canal. So, that said, you first have to get used to how they fit. The earpieces are comfortable for me and make sure to snug up the wires under your chin so they do not slip. The sound quality is good, but could use more bass, and the volume is not as loud as true headphones. However, I hear the traffic, which is just what I wanted to hear. Overall, this is a good quality product which allows you to go out and stay connected with the sounds in the environment. Will be using them regularly.
