Lajo's new iBuds and iCaps

[Matt174e]

www.lajo.biz has released some new products for the stock apple earbuds. These will both help prevent the headphones from falling out.

Both iBuds and iCaps are available in DoubleBubble(Pink), Ice(transparant), Snow(White), Asphalt(black), and Indigo(blue)

The iBuds cost a mere $5.50 and the iCaps sell for $4.50

I know, it's ridiculous that ipolounge refuses to post reviews of anything to do with Lajo, they won't even say when Lajo has sales active either (they often have 50% off sales, once they had a 55% off sale). Ipodlounge will only post things about iSkin products which cost twice as much as Lajo skins at regular price.

did anyone try the tips off the ear jams on sony ex51/71s??

Matt174e, where are the Lajo earbuds sold in the States.

[Matt174e]

I live in Canada and ordered form Lajo.biz twice before. I never had any Customs fee's and it arrived in my mailbox. :)

I ordered a case and some extra bits from Lajo.biz and received them in the UK within 2 weeks. I was even given a free twistclip and zip case. Again, no customs fees. Although Lajo's site is a bit primitive I have received good service both times I ordered.

These are sweet! It really looks like they'll fit better than the Earjams. I can't wait to hear the reviews. I hope iPod Lounge reviews them, though they seem to still be holding a grudge against Lajo (no reviews of any of Lajo's new products).

My personal suggestion would be to hold off on the iBuds. They do look really nice and I ordered an assorted set. (For those who haven't ordered from Lajo, it is easy and delivery is quick.) Anyway, I have tried all three sizes in both ears and none fit properly. The problem, as I see it, is that the pieces are too soft and thin and therefore lack rigidity. When you attempt to put them in your ear, they simply deform and do not sit in your ear properly.

As for the iCaps, these are okay. Again, they are extremely thin but fit the earpiece nicely. There are several holes in them to presumably allow the music through. They seem to help hold the earpiece in your ear when it is used without the standard foam cover.

The prices on both are cheap but I may have been better off saving my pennies for a different set of earpieces.

hmm i bought a lajo case before and i hated it because of all the lint but this ibuds thing i will have to think about.

I just received my ibuds and I must say they work great. I don't feel any of the discomfort that I felt with the Sony Ex51/Ex71. I had a good seal with the medium size buds and the sound was fantastic. I tried the small buds, and although they were not as snug, the sound was still very good (better than if they weren't attached). I can't say that for the Sonys. I never could get good sound or feel out of the Sonys. The buds stay on fairly securly, so I'm not too concerned about losing them. I would say that if you use the apple earbuds, you can't go wrong.

BTW, I ordered on 3/26 and received them 4/5. I also was not charged any custom fees. They wrote a value of $1.50 on the package (2 packs of ibuds and 1 pack of icaps (for someone else)). I'll post his comments later on.

I have a question about the iBuds. Are they a set of earbuds or are they little speaker-like things that you attach to the standard Apple earbuds?

Thanks everyone.

Also what is the difference between iBuds and iBuds-SML?

[Dannnyh]

If you order just ibuds you will get a pack with 1 pair of small, 1 pair of meduim and 1 pair of large. If you order S-M-L you can pick to have 3 pairs of the same size, Small-Medium-Large.
