Macsimum review: EarPollution Timbre noise isolating earbuds by iFrogz

Posted by Daniel East Sep 5, 2009 at 5:44am

Thinking about replacing those ill-fitting generic earbuds that came with your iPhone, iPod or iPod touch? Well, I invite you to take a look at iFrogz’s EarPollution line of audio earbuds and headphones.

I recently got a chance to test their EarPollution Timbre model of earbuds. The first thing that really blew me away when I put them in my ears and turned on my iPhone, was how well they isolated outside noise. I was 10 feet from my television and could not hear any sound coming from it. If you do a lot of flying, I highly recommend getting a pair of these. They should drown cabin noise out completely.

The next thing that impressed me about them, was how snug and comfortable the fit in my ears. They ship with different size earfit pieces for ultimate comfort and ambient noise control, so you can get the perfect fit for your ear canals.

The microphone seemed to do a great job picking up my voice when talking on the iPhone too. Everyone I talk to says I sound great, with no background noise.

EarPollution Timbre noise isolating earbuds sport a natural wood-chamber for superb sound quality. The wooden ends add a unique classy look to the earbuds.

At $49.95, the price is right too. EarPollution Timbre’s sound better than a lot of earbuds that cost twice as much. I found the sound and frequency response to be on par with my Bose in-ear headphones that cost $100.00.
