Without a doubt, most people who exercise heavily, whether to lose weight or in order to push their limits further in certain sporting events, also like to listen to music, and that's exactly the reason why Yurbuds has released the Ironman Series Earphones, specifically designed to deliver a very good music-listening experience even while users are engaged in intense physical effort.

One of the main features setting these earphones aside from some of the other models available on the market is the fact that the earbuds are manufactured from a medical grade silicone, that will perfectly insulate the drivers within from the action of water of sweat.

This makes them quite an interesting solution for athletes, especially since they also provide a fit that ensures the earbuds stay in the user's ears, even during the most strenuous physical activity.

The earphones sport Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) magnet drives, delivering a frequency response of 20Hz – 20kHz, as well as a level of sensitivity of 110dB/mW and a 32-ohm impedance.

Moreover, it's also important to mention that the Yurbuds earphones are compatible with MP3 devices (including the Apple iPod or iPhone) supporting an industry standard 3.5mm (1/8 inches) gold plated stereo mini-plug, attached to a 3.9 ft. (1.2 meters) fiber-reinforced cable, that provides quite an OK level of freedom.

Last, but certainly not least, it's also important to mention that they're fairly easy to carry around, since they measure 1 x 0.75 x 1.5 inches (25.4 mm x 19.05 mm x 38.1 mm), and weigh 1 ounce (28 g).

Pricing for the Yurbuds Ironman Series Earphones has been set at just around 50 US dollars, which is actually extremely affordable, all things considered, especially since they'll most certainly last a lot longer than some of their other competitors, especially in the hands (and ears) of serious athletes.
