Song Sling headphones introduced
I've been enjoying my iPod shuffle, but I don't like those ear bud headphones. Maybe my ears are horribly disfigured, but they just won't accomodate the earbuds. So now I'm eager to try the Song Sling headphones for iPod shuffle by Mophie, inc. They replace both the shuffle lanyard and the earbud headphones at once. No more tangles as the headphone wires themselves slip into a sheath on the lanyard that rests behind your neck. Good idea.The Song Sling is currently available for pre-order for $39.95US, and the manufacturer expects shipment by the end of July 2005.

I love my Song Sling, but the earbuds are the same size and shape as the ones that comes with the Shuffle, so they probably won't fit your ears any better. I have trouble keeping them in place as well. I also got a set of retractable earphones from MacAlly. They are a slightly different shape, and fit my ears better. But I like the Song Sling so much that I usually use that, and just keep putting the earbuds back in when they fall out.

It really is a very cool product for the shuffle. basically 3 different items in 1. The sound is fine. Not like a high-end earphone but nothing worse than you'd get with what Apple offers. What I really love the retraction on the earbuds. Very easy to use and more reliable than any other retractable device I've seen. Overall, I'd give it an A-. The only thing I'd want to see is a better color selection but it's a new product so maybe they're coming out with more colors soon.
