ZAGG iPhone

The Z.Buds fit right in the middle between budget conscious consumers and audiophiles. The first thing I noticed was the incredibly long cord, 54 inches! It’s funny because the Apple branded earbuds are notoriously short and these are a bit too long. Fortunately tangled messes are kept at bay with sliding ball clasps that keep the cords neatly bundled. The cord itself is covered in woven nylon which is a huge improvement over the rubber/plastic ones found on most earbuds. It gives it a bit more style and also helps to prevent those magical tangles.

Since we received a prototype it didn’t come with any various sized silicon caps but the retail version does have them. Therefor I can’t comment too much on fit but even the stock medium sized ones held snug in my ear especially if you wear it reverse-back like the photograph at the bottom. The buds are metal but super lightweight, I’m talking featherweight here. The silicon ear caps are very soft so prolonged use shouldn’t irritate.

The Z.Buds also double as a handsfree set for calls. A little toggle on the cord lets your seamlessly switch from music to phone calls. Call quality came in loud and clear with no crackling or static hissing. Further down the cord is a jog wheel for volume control tho I wonder why ZAGG just didn’t integrate it into the toggle switch itself.
