Amazon.com Product Description

The Griffin 9738-NAOTB TuneBuds Combination Lanyard and Ear buds for iPod Nano (Black) are designed to unleash your Nano's full audio potential. The TuneBuds isolate your listening experience from the outside world by fitting comfortably inside your ears, to deliver exceptional noise isolation with rich, crystal clear audio.

TuneBuds are based on Griffin's acclaimed EarThump design, with the same clean, crisp highs and mind-numbing bass that make standard earbuds pale in comparison. These TuneBuds provide more than just great sound, however, featuring the ability to snap directly in to your Nano's dock connector for instant, out-of-the-way audio. This smart design feature integrates the audio cables into the lanyard, leaving you free of excess cords and tangled lines, and keeping your iPod Nano accessible for selecting songs and adjusting the volume.

The Griffin TuneBuds utilize neodymium dynamic micro-drivers to provide a greater sound output and enhanced bass. These earbuds come with three sizes of interchangeable earpads for a secure fit with maximum comfort. Ideal for those with an active lifestyle, the 9738-NAOTB TuneBuds come in black to complement your 1st-generation iPod Nano, and are backed by a manufacturer's limited 1-year warranty.

If you need a lanyard to easily carry around your iPod nano, then this will work. It comes in black so it will match the more popular nano color (unlike the Apple lanyard, which only comes in white). It looks very nice. Even though the length is not adjustable, it was about right for me.

It's a bit difficult to connect it, but there is no chance of it coming out if you run or play sports. It comes with extra buds so you can find the right size to fit your ears.

The big problem is the sound quality. It is really muddled - 'not crisp'. It's kind of like listening to an old FM radio. The dynamic range is just not there. I tried every nano EQ setting to try to adjust for it. The best I found was 'treble increase' and even then, it still sounded awful to me.

In short, this works well for a lanyard, and will fit your ears right. But, if what you hear matters most, you won't find this product worth the sacrifice.

There is no other headphone for this price. What a deal! I couldn't believe how inexpensive they were, and they are so small too. They must be the lightest ones on the market.
