PodStraps by BudStraps review.

BudStraps™ has just launched PodStraps™. This company is doing audio different by shifting from the traditional 'plastic/rubberized' aesthetic in favor of wovens to deliver security to active and style-conscious Airpods owners with their woven neck strap and carry pouch.

BudStraps launched in 2015 with their first product, the BudStraps Flex Sport, a best-selling Amazon product with sales of over 20k units. The product was the result of a successful Kickstarter Launch. 

The company is committed to bringing style and woven fabrics to an industry dominated by rubbers and plastics.  BudStraps is also proud to use the packaging services of the Foundation for the Handicapped in Wayne, NJ, a Rotary-founded non-profit which employs adults with developmental disorders.  

Available in charcoal and neon yellow, the $14.95 PodStraps kit is available on Amazon and BudStraps.com. 

My Thoughts:

I love hearing about companies that are taking a more natural approach with their products, stepping away from damaging materials. Not only that, but hearing that BudStraps helps adults with developmental disorders with employment was extremely inspiring to me as well. Not only did Budstraps allow me to try their PodStraps, but their Flex Sport strap as well. 

The core issue with using any sort of AirPods is potentially losing them. Not having to deal with the wires is nice. However, not having them make the pods that much easier to misplace. With PodStraps, you will never have to worry about losing your AirPods again! The woven straps will not mess with the sound quality or touch control whatsoever. The material is soft, lightweight, quick dry and even washable! Slip the bottom of the pod into the round holder and you are good to go.

The Flex Sport has an Italian designed strap and is also a wonderful addition to your Budstrap collection. It is elastic, ventilated, and wicks sweat for when you are working out. Forget worrying about losing your PodStraps or having your non-wireless earphones fall. Now with the Flex Sport clips, you can grab hold of any potential falling hazard and keep it secure. 

If you are looking for a high quality accessory for your technology, look no further than, BudStraps. Not only will it be useful, but it is a company who enjoys giving back and produces a safer product for the environment.

Product Review: Puro Sound Labs' Healthy Ears Headphones

Listening to music on headphones can be dangerous, as lots of people damage their hearing from listening to music too loudly for too long. Teenagers are especially at risk for this, as they're the most likely to do this. Puro Sound Labs has two different models people can use to make listening to music safer: a head set, and ear buds. 

Overall, these are good products, although I find the headset to be better than the earbuds. The earbuds didn't get as much volume, but they were decent. They were also pretty comfortable, and stayed in place nicely for the most part. The headset was my favorite because it is able to be used either with bluetooth technology, or by plugging it in, something that I really like. Not everything has the bluetooth technology, so it's a good option for people who want to be able to use them both ways. 

The headset also got a decent range, as it was able to work in a different room. I wouldn't go much farther than that, though, especially if there's a closed door between them.

My thoughts:

The Ihangy is a great invention!  It stays securely attached to my ipod/iphone.  The earbud are comfortable and stay firmly in my ears.  And they have good sound quality.

I love that I just hang my Ipod nano/Iphone (which ever I choose to use) around my neck, put the earbuds in my ears, and go for a walk with my dog without having to worry about securing and having to carry my Ipod nano/Iphone.  It is hands free!  Works great for me at the gym also.

My best friend asked to borrow my Ihangy.  When she returned it after her walk, she was instantly sold on it and was going to buy one for herself, as well as her grandson. 

I will be getting a lot of great use with this item.  Grab one for yourself on Amazon.

My Thoughts 

Anyone who has teenagers knows that headphones are an integral part of their daily existence. My kids have their ear-buds in place while they do chores, on the way home from the bus, and even while they play sports. I can't blame them, I like music too. It always helps me think. 

The two most important things about headphones are sound quality and comfort, and Share Buds has mastered them both. With these headphones, if you close your eyes,  you'll feel like you're sitting center stage at a concert, only without all the people yelling in the background. They are great for folks who like to listen to music when they go to bed because you'll barely notice they're in your ears. I also found they were perfect for meditation CDs because the sound is crisp and clear, and they are so comfortable it makes it easy to drift away.

The ShareBudz headphones come in both red and yellow, have a sturdy flat wire cable that doesn't tangle easily, and comes with six extra bud covers. It even includes a nice velvet bag for storage. I also really love the idea that the company is supporting a worthy cause and giving 25% off their profits to causes that help relieve poverty. They are definitely a great choice for an Easter gift for teens and tweens, and one you can feel good about giving.
