AIRbudz earbud add-ons let outside noise in

AIRbudz are alternative earbud attachments that can be utilized while listening to music in environments where it's necessary to be aware of your surroundings in order to stay safe.  The difference between AIRbudz and earbud attachments that came with your headphones are air channels built into the AIRbudz.  These air channels allow you to simultaneously hear music, without distortion, while also allowing ambient noise into the ear to help reduce the risk of accident or injury due to not being able to hear your surroundings.

There are many environments where we want to block out all the noise around us and that is where noise canceling earbuds are great.  However there are also many environments where we want to listen to music, but it is also very important to hear what is going on around us in order to reduce risk of injury or even death.  Some of those environments include but are not limited to: running, biking, skiing, snowboarding and skateboarding.  Besides these sporting activities, there are also plenty of situations where it's necessary to hear what is happening around you to stay safe:  riding on public transportation, walking to your car after work, while at the library or in a study environment and at some jobs where headphones are allowed it's imperative that hear your surroundings.  We've created entertaining videos showing environments both serious and comical where AIRbudz would come in handy.

AIRbudz fit on to your existing headphones that have removable earbuds and will fit approximately 70% of these headphones currently on the market. Simply replace the noise canceling earbud that came with your headphones with AIRbudz.
