ZippEarz Headphones (Product Review & Giveaway)

Posted on June 16, 2011 by Coco

When I lost my iPod nano after the GW Parkway Classic, I also lost my favorite set of headphones. Luckily, ZippEarz was promoting its ear buds on Twitter, and offered to send me a set.

I checked out their website, and their product looked pretty cool. They highlight these features:

High end  10mm speakers
Ergonomic design for ear comfort
Zippearz “zip up” wire for less tangling
Patent Pending adjustable ear loop for high activity listening

I was excited to get my set to try out.

It came with a storage pouch, instructions for using the detachable ear loops, and different sized  “ear cones” to customize the fit.

I didn’t want to wait for a run to try them out, so I selected one of the smaller sized ear cones and plugged it into my (old) iPod Nano. I immediately noticed a difference in sound quality. The sound was much richer than usual–very nice.

When I took them on a test run, it was a humid morning, so I put their stay-put-ability to the test. Other earbuds often fall out, but these stayed put. And, even though they fit snugly, I was still able to hear ambient sounds–very important when running outside!

A few days later I tried them on a treadmill run. I tried to use the ear loops, but didn’t really like them.  I wear glasses, and it was just too much going on around my ears! Since the ear buds stay in place on their own, I don’t need them anyway.

I’ve been using the ZippEarz ear buds ever since I got them, and really have no complaints. The sound quality remains high through my sweaty runs, and they don’t fall out! They were the only piece of gear that I didn’t have to fumble with during the Zooma Annapolis Half Marathon.

I haven’t seen them in stores, but you can order from their website ($24.95), or you might get lucky and win this ***GIVEAWAY***

This giveaway has ended!

    I would love a new set of headphones. I've had a lot of trouble in the past finding a pair that won't fall out while I'm running and it gets frustrating. If these headphones is as good as you say they are, then I need a pair!

    And a song that puts me in a good mood, well, anything by Britney Spears. Her songs keep me running.

    Cool ear buds. When I'm running, I always love it when "I've Got a Feeling" comes on. Just makes me smile.

    My current fave song for running (which ultimately puts me in a good mood) is Christ is Risen. It's a new praise song we've been singing at church. Awesome.

    American Woman by the Guess Who is the first song on my favorite running list. It always gets me feeling confident and competitive before starting a race. I am a Warrior is also a good confidence booster.

    I liked ZippEarz on Facebook and followed them on Twitter. I also sent out your tweet as you wrote it here.

    I have a terrible time finding earbuds that work for me. I've tried a few kinds, and they range from bad to worse. These look promising. Thanks for the review.

    My husband and I have a joke about "Wheel in the Sky" by Journey, so that always makes me laugh.

    This is going to be really silly, but I love "Stand Out" from The Goofy Movie soundtrack. I've loved the song since I was a kid, and it's got a great beat!!
