iFrogz Ear Pollution Timbre

Ear Pollution Timbre earbuds offer a unique design, with earpieces encased in wood rather than plastic or metal. They sound more open than most other earphones, and provide deep, natural bass. One version comes with an in-line mic for use with the iPhone or other music phones.
The Ear Pollution Timbre earphones are available in two models: a standard MP3 player version that sells for $39.99 and an iPhone/smartphone set with an inline mic and a price of $49.99. Both options come in a choice of two finishes, either light or dark, and feature average-size cylindrical earpieces. These are ensconced mainly in wood, though the speaker end is actually constructed of a metallic plastic. Descending from each earbud is a relatively thin, black Y cable that meets 14 inches down to form one thicker cable. The cord continues for an additional 30 inches before terminating in a nickel-plated straight plug. All in all, the cable is quite thin and seems pretty fragile, which is typical of earbuds in this price range.

Although the Timbre earphones aren't overly large, they're not the most ergonomic set we've come across, mainly because the music port is fairly big around. That said, we were able to achieve a reasonably comfortable fit from the smallest of the three sets of silicone sleeves that are included in the package. Plus, the earbuds felt secure enough in our ears to withstand some moderate activity, though of course fit will be different for everyone. ifrog ear pollution timbre
