Product Description

Griffin EarJams revolutionize the iPod earbud by providing a more custom fit to your ears. The result is greater comfort, improved sound isolation from external noise, superior sound quality and volume. EarJams easily snap onto your Apple earbuds. Each set of EarJams comes with three sizes of earpads to give you a snug and comfortable fit.
Amazon.com Review

The distinctive white ear buds that come with 3G and 4G iPods meet the audio needs of many listeners, but some don't like the fit, and still others think the buds' sound is too tinny and weak. Griffin addresses these concerns with its EarJams, a pair of snap-on plastic ear funnels designed to boost and improve the iPod's audio performance. The Jams attach directly to the ear buds and use their cone shape to focus the sound within the ear. The Jams also come with three pairs of soft rubber ear pads--large, medium, and small, depending on the size of your ear canal--and a protective carrying case. It's important to note that the EarJams don't fit the buds that came with 1G and 2G iPods.

EarJams come with included carrying case to protect your spare earpads and your Earbuds.
Features and Performance
Every music fan has a different opinion on what constitutes quality sound. To some, it's expressive, clear high ranges, while others prefer big, booming bass. If you consider yourself a bass believer, the EarJams are right up your alley. The funnels create much deeper tones, turning formerly bright-sounding songs into thumping affairs. The Jams also boost the volume by around 15 to 25 percent, pleasing listeners who think the traditional iPod ear buds are too slight.

The real question, though, is whether this bass monsoon actually improves the music. And the answer, again, is in the ear of the beholder. There's no question that the Jams sacrifice the high- and mid-range frequencies to improve the low-end performance. A once crisp-sounding acoustic guitar sounds a bit muddled through the Jams, while vocals that formerly soared end up stooping instead. On the other hand, the Jams can also take a flat-sounding hip-hop track and give it some serious punch. Listeners may be best served by using the EarJams on an album-by-album basis, as some songs are clearly improved by the added wallop, while others just create a thud.

One huge area of improvement is the way the EarJams fit within the ears. Once listeners determine which ear pads fit the best, the Jams nestle securely within the ear canals and won't come out until pulled. Contrast that with the default ear buds, which sit loosely in the ear and can easily tumble out while jogging or walking, or even during a quick turn of the head. The pads are also washable in case they get a bit waxy.

A final bonus comes in the form of the zippered carrying case, which holds the ear buds, EarJams, and all of the pads in its padded pouch. The main compartment opens to reveal two mesh pockets and a third zippered pocket. --Rivers Janssen

Pros

  • Significantly boosts the bass performance of your iPod
  • Increases volume output of ear buds
  • Multiple sizes of ear pads ensure comfortable, secure fit
  • Handy carrying case protects buds and EarJams

Cons

  • High- and mid-range frequencies don't sound as good

What's in the Box
Two snap-on EarJams, two small ear pads, two medium-sized ear pads, two large ear pads, padded carrying case.

Summary: It does not fit Iphone 2009-06-22
Comment: As others have said here it does not fit all models. I decided to buy regardless the review as I saw on their website it had the original iphone 8GB as supported. To my disappointment the ear jams are too big to fit the iphone earbuds. I tried taping it to be able to use it but it just looks stupid. I though about gluing it from the inside but I don't want to damage my original earbuds.

Summary: Solid upgrade to stock apple headphones 2009-05-27
Comment: These are a pretty solid upgrade to the stock headphones that came with my iPhone 3g. I run a couple of miles a day with my phone, and these guys eliminate much of the problems I was having with the headphones popping out of my ear when I run or would start to sweat. They also are much more comfortable for daily wear around the house/office and really help to isolate sound and help me focus.

Now, the down sides. Despite what some folks have said, these do not fit onto the headphones for the iPhone 3g. The 3g's headphones are slightly different then the older iPod headphones these were designed for -- the hard portion where the cord comes in blends into the headphone, rather than the cylinder and 90 degree connection, and they are slightly smaller. However, I managed to solve the problem by rolling a very small cylinder of sticky tack around the iPhone headphones. The adapters now stick on very nicely.

I found the ear nubs that came with the headphones to be very thing and not feel like they were going to stick to my ears. Thankfully, I had another two sets of broken Griffin headphones with similar, but heavier duty rubberized earbuds. After switching this out they head phones stay in place much better and feel much sturdier. So keep in mind, that these still suffer from many of the Griffin quality issues, but a little work makes them quite nice.

Clearly, this isn't a great option for audiophiles and it dulls higher frequencies quite noticeably. Also, with the adapters on, my svelte headphones now are much larger and look a little like something Frankenstein would use. But for the price they prove to be an acceptable addition.

Summary: These are cool! 2009-05-12
Comment: These are cool! They snap right onto your headphones, and vastly increase the bass, and reduce outside noise. Well worth the money. Only one complaint- the first time I bought these, they came with a second, smaller set of covers that fit regular round earbuds. I have the sort of oblong or oval shaped headphones, and that is the kind that fits. But I also have the round earbuds, and they do not fit. Bummer. The little case that comes with it and the spare covers and rubber pieces is a very cool bonus. I highly reccomend these ear jams, because they make the sound much better, they are inexpensive, and they last a long time. I will definitely purchase another pair when these wear out!

Summary: Does what is claims to 2009-04-25
Comment: The product does what it claims to. Unfortunately i did not read the description carefully. They did not fit on the earbuds with my new iPhone 3G. I added a some tape to my earbuds and now they fit. They definately stay in the ear..i shook my head violently and they stayed in. The mid & high tones are not as crisp or loud. They definately added a lot of bass...so much so that i used the EQ setting, "reduce bass". I was also able to listen with a lower volume setting. I gave the product a 4 star because it did what it claimed. However, I would not buy another pair becuase i miss the mid & high tones. I guess i'll just have to fork out the extra cash and buy a way more expensive set of earbuds with microphone to work with my iPhone.

Summary: Horrible 2009-04-01
Comment: Do not under any circumstances buy these things!! They do not even fit onto the Apple earbuds. And as far as sound they make the earbuds sound like they are in the other room. I threw them away immediately.
