Finally a product that keeps my earbuds in my ears! As a runner I tried using headphones that wrapped behind my neck, but they were uncomfortable and the sound quality was terrible. With BudFits, I'm able to use the earbuds that came with my iPod which have excellent sound, plus the BudFits are comfortable to wear even with my sunglasses on. My long runs are actually enjoyable with my BudFits! Thanks for a great product!

For all of us out there with oddly-shaped ear canals, these are a lifesaver! I've never been able to use typical earbud headphones because they fall out so easily or it's painful to wedge them in far enough for them to stay in place. Earmuff headphones are not the most convenient for exercising though, so I was grateful to find out about Budfits from a friend. They stay in place during any exercise I've done so far--aerobics, bike riding, tennis, and at the gym. Highly recommended!

I know that there are a lot of iPod users out there that still use the earbuds that came with their iPod either because they just like the earbuds or they haven't found anything better to use. For those of you still using Apple's earbuds and are into physical fitness, then mosey on over to the InnoVelis website and check out BudFits.



For whatever reason, Apple's earbuds just don't fit me properly and have never stayed in place when I have exercised. BudFits takes care of that problem by providing a set of flexible, easy to use and inexpensive soft, flexible rubber pieces that snap onto Apple's earbuds and then just simply wrap over the top of your ear. BudFits quickly fit onto your earbuds and provide extra comfort and support but can easily be removed for those times when you don't need them. I have given them a good workout by using them while running, working out, working in the yard and wherever else I could try them out on without harming myself or others. I've not had them slip off of my ear or cause any problems.



Now you can check out BudFits and decide for yourself. They come in three different colors: Frosted Clear, White and Black. The asking price of $[...] itself is a great incentive... hmm, you know that the holidays are just around the corner and they would make a great stocking stuffer or a nice surprise for someone going off to school. InnoVelis also touts the fact that BudFits can also be used with your favorite iPhone earbuds. While InnoVelis does not sell the BudFits directly, you'll find links to other retailers, such as Amazon.com that do sell the BudFits. By the way, BudFits are designed to work only with Apple's iPod or iPhone earbuds.

So to review:

Pro: Easy to use, soft and flexible, non-irritating. Very reasonably priced. Keeps your earbuds in place while you're active.

Cons: The only problem that I saw was on older earbuds from earlier iPod models that had a shorter stalk than the newer versions of earbuds. However, if you take your time when placing the BudFits over your ear, you can still use the BudFits successfully and they do their designed job of keeping your earbuds in place without any other problems or hassles.

Highly recommended!

My Mac rating: 5 out of 5.

This product works as advertised and keeps the terrible Apple ear buds in your ear. However, it was not designed with the iPhone headset in mind.

The microphone on the iPhone headset is set so that when the stock bud is in your ear the mic hangs down next to your mouth. The BudFits eat up about 3 inches of cord length wrapping over the ear, taking the mic away from your mouth. This has made them unusable for me as the resulting sound quality for people trying to hear me on a phone call is terrible.

Don't know that there's anything Innovelis could do about this (they are designed for the iPod buds) but thought it would be important info for potential buyers interested in using it with the iPhone headset.

These buds are great. Apple should buy them out and package them with every iPod, iPhone and earbuds they sell.

I found the product to work as promised. Very comfortable and helpful
in avoiding the constant adjustment to my earbuds while exercising.

These are awesome. If you ever tried to run with earbuds, you know that it can be a frustrating experience. These devices are a simple yet comfortable solution to the problem. Highly recommended.

I love my Ipod, but the standard Ipod phones would never stay in my ear. I found Budfits at a bike store and they are great. I can now use the Ipod phones anywhere. I use the Budfits when biking, at work, and just about anywhere.

I love my ipod, but the earphones are just plain uncomfortable to stuff into my ears. This problem was solved instantly with my new BudFits! Amazingly simple in concept, yet incredibly effective in design and use. Now, I can enjoy the great sound my ipod offers while gardening, working out, or kayaking without the slightest worry about the ear buds falling out. Like most highly successful inventions, this is the kind of innovation that you'll wonder why no one has thought of it before. It makes perfect sense and I don't plan on using my ipod again without BudFits! Thanks to whoever designed these---you must be a genius!

I bought one of these for myself to use while hiking when I listen to my Ipod. They work awesome! They're strong enough to keep the earbuds in my ear, but light and comfortable enough to wear for long periods of time- like an all day hike :) After using them for a few weeks hiking and running, I also bought my Mom a pair to wear while walking. I found out later that she never used the Ipod we bought her last year because the earbuds always fell out, but she was too nice to say anything- gotta love Moms. Now she uses it all the time, for real. Finally somebody got smart and invented something that Apple has somehow missed. If you want a cheap fix to your earbuds, these are totally worth the 9 bucks.
