Whaaaaaaaa? What did you say? When I commute to the UNEASYoffices every day, it is hysterical how many people have their iPods just blasting, slowly but surely chipping away at their hearing.

Ingemi Corp, has had enough of that. They have designed child-safe earbuds have been board-certified by audiologists and are equipped with patentented technology that will keep the volume being pumped into your ears below 80 decibels no matter how loud the original file is or how high the volume on your pod has been has been turned up.

Now, I can imagine kids may not be happy with their volume limited, but think about your ears health! If you are an iPod owner, you could use the volume limiting feature, but these buds are also compatible with a wide range of devices, from MP3 players to even cellphones.

Available for $24.99, and might be the perfect holiday gift for your loved one.

    I use isolation earphones so I don’t need to crank the volume up to overpower all the sounds around me. But some songs just have to be blasted into your ears!
