It’s 1990 and I’m driving on some dull trip with my parents. They’re listening to some awful music on the car stereo. It’d be an otherwise horrible trip, but lucky for me I’ve got my brand new walkman, with a copy of Vanilla Ice’s “To the Extreme” blaring through the headphones. My mom told me that I had to keep the volume pretty low, but in order to hear it over the car stereo I’ve got the volume cranked to the very end. My mom says she can hear the music coming out of my headphones, but I don’t care. My choices are listen at a safe level or hear the music.

It’s 2002 and I’m working on an essay, listening to music through my headphones. A few years of loud concerts and biology lessons have taught me that subjecting my ears to loud music, but I don’t care. I’m having a good time with the volume as is.

It’s 2006 and I just got an iPod with video. It’s a good way to kill time on the train, but something of a disappointing movie watching experience. Having a home theater system at home has spoiled my enjoyment of a movie without surround sound.

It’s 2008 and I’m pleased to announce that Amazing Tech Products Inc. has a solution to all these problems. The Purebuds are a set of earbuds that use reverse sound technology to bounce the sound away from your ear drums, rather than directly at those sensitive little buggers. This leads to a softer sound experience without compromising sound quality.

I’ll admit I was a little skeptical when I was first introduced to Purebuds. “Sure,” I said “They’re better for your ears. But how do they sound? Are we giving up volume in exchange for safety.”

Well, I’ve been trying out my pair, and I’m pleased to say that they sound great. I have a small collection of expensive headphones and ear buds that I use on a regular basis, and I can say without reservation that they stack up to most of them as they sound as good or better than all of my earbuds. They pack a lot of punch into a resonably small frame, and don’t seem to be as prone to distortion as my other earbuds.

I do a lot of walking, and I like to have some music with me when I go, like my own personal soundtrack. A neat little byproduct of the reverse sound technology is that it lets in more outside sound. While this makes them less than desirable for louder environments, it lets you be more aware of your surroundings.

The Purebuds also come with three tips, each one promising a different “audio ambiance effect.” While I found that the “Full Range” and “Bass Boost” worked as advertised, I had a difficult time keeping the “Surround Sound” tips in my ears long enough to get a feel for how well the worked. I have oddly shaped ears, so your milage may vary.

All and all, I’m pretty psyched to be reporting on these headphones. The fact that they are a product Amazing Tech Products Inc is releasing does make me a bit biased, but I was excited enough about the headphones to volunteer to write it up on the blog. Regardless of who makes them, these are a solid product that I enjoy using.

It’s not all high tech doodads here at Amazing Tech Blog central. Sometimes we have to slow down and look at low tech devices that make your high tech world a little bit better.

Take the Mophie Bevy, for instance. There aren’t even any moving parts on this little second gen iPod Shuffle case. But for all the owners of this little iPod, it is a powerful tool. Sure, you may own a tiny MP3 player without a screen…but where are you going to put it so that you’ll always be able to find it? Your pocket?

No. You put it on your keychain, and that way you’ll always have it with you. It also has a nice little cord winder to keep your headphones in place. It’s a great way to make sure your music is always with you.

And on top of it all, there is a bottle opener. You may hear a lot of static about how you need to remove the shuffle to get at the bottle opener. This is not as huge of a deal as some make it out to seem. Insertion and removal of the shuffle takes mere seconds. Pop the shuffle out, open your drink, return the shuffle in place. Rock and roll.

While this isn’t as flashy as some of the other gadgets we’ve featured here, it’s a lifestyle product, a key accessory to your digital life, so long as that digital life includes an iPod Shuffle.

And a drink without a screw off cap.
