Real wood and really great audio go together. That"s why Griffin is proud to offer these exceptionally great-sounding and great-looking earbuds, each with unique woodgrain, color and markings, polished to a smooth, satin finish. Beech wood has long been prized in the making of drums and other musical instruments, with a tone between that of maple and birch, the two most popular drum woods. These earbuds pair the excellent acoustic qualities of the wood with 8 mm neodymium drivers. One listen, and you"ll agree that it"s a good match. Griffin WoodTones earbuds impart warm overtones that accentuate the mid-range. Vocals come alive, and low frequency bass emerges without distorting harmonics or clarity-destroying echoes. You"ll notice an improvement in sound volume, as well; you may find yourself listening at a lower volume level than usual, yet enjoying it more. Four generous feet of smooth, supple, black TPE-coated cable give you room to move, and the whole thing comes packaged inside a drawstring carrying pouch made of natural hemp fiber. Each set of WoodTones is a one-of a kind artifact that will reveal layers of nuance in your favorite music that you"ve been missing with ordinary earbuds.
