Yurbuds Product Review & Giveaway

Developed by a marathoner and a triathlete, Yurbuds (HERE), have been designed for all athletes … even endurance athletes.

Their claim:

- they won’t fall out
- ultra-soft comfort
- sweat-proof
- exceptional sound
- fit guarantee

Hmmmmmm .....

Of cours, I chose to review the Komen Pink Yurbuds (HERE). $10 of every purchase is donated to the Susan G Komen for the Cure of St. Louis. Retail for $29.99. The Yurbuds are an adorable bright pink, the earphones and cord are both white. The Yurbuds also came in their own carrying case, which is handy for putting in your gym bag.

They are also available in Blue Yurbuds (HERE) for $29.99 and Ironman Red Yurbuds (HERE) for $49.99.

To get make sure that I got the right fit, I was asked to send them a photo of my profile and my ear alongside a quarter. You can also upload your photo to the Yurbuds website when ordering.

You can order your Yurbuds online now or visit a local retailer. I saw them at my local Fleet Feet in Madison just last week.

The Yurbuds are guaranteed not to fall out. They offer an extreme-fit 100% money back guarantee. How many of you have struggled with this?!? They are even guaranteed to work in the rain!

I am a sweater and have never been able to run with music or headphones. After dealing with headphones falling out constantly, I gave up on running with music a few years ago. It just wasn’t worth it to me to keep messing with the headphones. I also tried the wrap-around headphones, but those just rubbed and irritated my ears. And, they still shifted.

I was intrigued by Yurbuds. Wanting to believe that they wouldn’t fall out. But, honestly I didn’t think they’d work. I have tried them on a few runs of six miles our less. I put them in my ears and set out for my run. By mile one, I was starting to get sweaty and I could feel the puddle in my ears starting to fill up. They honestly stayed in place. The sound was clear and there was no movement on their own. The left ear never moved and the right ear moved slightly a few times on my first run with the Yurbuds. This was only because I’m not use to running with headphones and would accidentally tug or rub on the cord, causing the headphone to move. I adjusted accordingly and it wasn’t a problem. The Yurbuds never moved on their own. Even with my sweaty ears. Gotta love the pink, too!

They ARE indeed quite an investment. Since I'm not typically a runner with music, I would not have made the investment on my own. But, I'm glad that I have tried them and have changed my mind about running with music ... because these were comfortable and didn't fall out, for a change. So many of you ONLY run with music (even during races). If I were one of you, I would definitely shell out the thirty bucks to try them out.

It’s like a whole new world has opened up to me … running with music. I’ve ran for so long without it. It’s nice to get a little upbeat song in my head and have my feet speed up accordingly! Hey, maybe it will make me faster?!

I think I will still do a lot of my runs without music, just because it is my “me time” and allows me to think, prioritize, plan ... and just be by myself. I really enjoy listening to my breathing pattern and my feet hitting the pavement. It helps me concentrate on pacing myself. But, the Yurbuds have now offered me an alternative to that … when I want something more. I look forward to having options now, thanks to Yurbuds.

Since I'm getting into running with music again,

I will seek your advice on powerful songs to run to
