LISTEN UP: YURBUDS GIVEAWAY

RUNNING... (as always, scroll right on down to the bottom to skip my story & simply enter the giveaway)

I have been a runner in some way, shape or form since I was about 10 years old.  Even way back then I listened to music when I ran.  I spent a ridiculous and painstaking amount of time making mix tapes on my stereo's double cassette player.  When I ran, I carried the classic Sony walkman which likely weighed about 4 pounds and had the sound quality of a fuzzy tin can.

Original Sony Walkman (wow)

I used that puppy all the way through college, toting it to all of my cross country and track meets and continuing to make tapes for running even when CDs were starting their takeover (man, I'm old).  In all of those years, I could NEVER find a pair of headphones that worked.  The biggest issue for me has always been fit, as my ears are the size of a toddler's.  The standard headphones that came with my walkman (see above) wouldn't sit in my ear.  I would have to buy the bigger ones that sat on top of my ears and then I would have to replace them every year because the foam covers would get ruined by sweat, rain and basic overuse.  My head is also relatively small, so I'm sure I looked super cool running down the street in those bad boys.  My quest for the perfect pair of headphones has gone on for what feels like FOREVER.  Sure, all the new styles and shapes have gotten notably better, but they still don't work as well for me as I'd like them to.  The earbuds fall out, the behind the ear hooks aren't tight enough, the huge rock star ones are so big I wouldn't hear a mac truck if drove up behind me.  Seriously, I have tried them all (no really, all of them).

The land of misfit headphones

Enter YURBUDS.  Imagine my excitement when I found a pair of headphones that fit well, were sweatproof, had fantastic sound and looked cool.  No joke.  ALL of those things.  They are specifically designed for athletes by athletes.  The Yurbuds'  twistLock technology guarantees that they won't fall out.  And they don't.  Once they are sitting snuggly in the ear, they are so comfortable that I barely notice they are in there.  Personally, I like to wear the Inspire for women series because they are specifically designed for those of us with smaller ears.  But they have a ton of other choices in terms of size and fit, so there is no way you won't find a pair that works for you.  I LOVE these headphones and I think you will, too.  Want to try them?
