First time doing review on earphone, so excuse me if I make any silly mistake :s13:...

I purchase my Yurbud when Stereo starts selling it, cause just nice around that time, I'm looking one to replace my Phillips SHQ. So I just hooted the entry level Yurbud, the S$59 option.

My first impression was great! Since I love running, so mainly I uses this earphone for running. Like advertised, Yurbud stays in your ear no matter under what circumstances...

Only after a few months, where the Yurbud get oily and dirty, where the tip of the Yurbud sort of got mushy and drop off easily. That is where the main irritating part come along. During a 10km run, I might have to adjust the Yurbud a few times.

The sound quality is downright terrible... so I don't even want to say anything on this part.

So far the review is going towards the "DO NOT BUY!!!"... Yes, that was my decision one year ago.

But fast forward one year, today, the Yurbud offically died on me. So it was almost a two year life span for this earphone. S$59 dollars for almost two year, I say it is a pretty darn good deal!

So in conclusion, if you want to look for a cheap and durable sports earphone, look no further... But if you are looking for some quality sports earphone, please siam as far as you can :s13:...

Let me show you some picture of my Yurbud, picture from my faulty HTC One camera.

Cracks everywhere

Hi there. Thank you for the review. It is great to get feedback from customers. If you would still prefer Yurbuds, perhaps you can give their higher end model the Inspire Duro a try. The cable sleeves are Kevlar re-enforced to enhance its durability. :)

Today went down and almost hooted one of the more expensive Yurbuds... the one with the silver-ish cable...

But I went ahead and audi Jaybird Bluebud X... and at that instant, I told myself this is the one :s12:... it sounded fantastic with my HTC One :eek:... till the point that I don't mind using this as a replacement those kind if I send my UM3X for reshelling :D...

Now burning in my my Bluebud X :D... the bass sounds like sai now :(

The run just now was fantastic, despite the wet ground!

The Bluebuds X is actually one of the most popular sports wireless earphones. Glad you're happy with it. Keep on running! :)

a quick question..

How long will it take to burn in Bluebuds X? Kind of a stupid question considering this is a earphone for sports :s13:...

But yea, definitely a sounds different compared to the one I demo in the shop.

Normally for burning in we would recommend up to 200 hours. Daily usage counts into it also so you can use it as it is burning in. :)
