Griffin Tunebuds
£
8
They're an upgrade from bundled, leaky and deeply offensive iPod earphones, but they're still not great - even at this price
Write your own reviewFor
Amazingly cheap; solid-feeling; big presentation, deep bass
Against
Overbearing and fat low end; strident treble
It's testament to how poor the iPod's bundled earphones are, that even these £8 Griffins are a significant improvement.
You get a pair of fairly solid-feeling earphones, complete with a zip-up case and three pairs of silicone tips.
Sound-wise they boast a big presentation with lots of deep bass. In fact, the low end is somewhat overbearing and fat, while treble sounds a bit sharp when pushed.
However, vocals are clear, and delivery is reasonably detailed and direct.
