Spotted thease guys on Facebook, new company  they are making wood headphones (buds) in the UK form sustainable sources, Based in Yorkshire look nice and should be interesting, made an enquiry and they go on sale in a few weeks and should be around £20, they will sell direct but the website is only a Facebook and twitter redirect at the moment, some photos on Facebook.
Will probably buy a pair to see what they are like Wink

RE: Woodbuds

Ordered a pair of woodbuds as much out of curiosity than anything else, first impressions they do look really nice and they sound pretty good too, they come in recycled card packaging with 3 sizes of ear piece,  tonally they are quite rich more bass heavy than I like personally  it is quite well controled bass and if I am being chritical for me and the sort of music i generally listen to this bass depth takes away from the mid and upper frequencies but I am comparing against things like my Alessandro MS1 and Shure E2c which cost significantly more than thease little buds.

For the price thease are a nice sounding headphone and they look like they cost significantly more than they actually do.

Superb post! Thanks for letting us know about this pwiles1968, looks like these would make a great stocking filler, I'm very tempted Smile

RE: Woodbuds

Sorry yes forgot to put a link in to the site.

I think there may be plans in future to expand the range I did ask about a version with a Mic to use on my phone and they will be looking at this next year, lets hope they fancy dipping their toe in to something higher end too Smile
