Yurbuds are my budz GIVEAWAY and review!!

Alright, so you have all been reading about the fundraising I have been doing for Marathon for the Cure (Susan G. Komen). Yes, I have reached the "minimum goal", however, I want to raise as much as I can to help support the cure! Thank you all for all of your support and donations! I wouldn't be able to do this without all of you. This is going to be a fantastic event and I am so excited to be representing my mother and all those who have lost a loved one to not only just breast cancer- but all cancer. Cancer knows no gender, race or color and this is why we have to put an end to it. If you are willing and able to donate to the fundraising, I would really appreciate it.

That being said.... On to the giveaway!

So, we all sweat, right? Okay, well when I moved here to Houston this last May- the sweat meter (from humidity) seriously JUMPED! I've always struggled with headphones. This last year I have gone through about 5 pairs just to try and find ones that fit better. No luck. Not only are my ears shaped a little funny, but with the added sweat nastiness- they ALWAYS fall out or I have to keep adjusting them. It gets to be a pain when I run! I LOVE running with music and about 97% of the time- I won't run without music. I'm just one of "THOSE" runners I guess. ;-) Just kidding.

Well, in honor of my mom and the Marathon for the Cure, Adam over at Yurbuds offered me an opportunity to try out a pair for myself AND he offered to also donate a pair of Yurbuds to one of you lucky people.

He said quote:

"Your personal mission to raise money and awareness for breast cancer is admirable and Yurbuds would be honored to become a part of your endeavors. "

Seriously, how awesome is that?

So, I was able to order a pair of my own. Ordering was REALLY easy. I just had to send in a picture of my profile holding a quarter up to my ear giving them a reference point. From there they sized me and once I received my size I ordered the pink ones, of course! They shipped fast and arrived fast. I was impressed.

These beauties showed up yesterday- just in time for my Monday 5miler :-). They come in this cute blue pouch and with instructions on how to wear them. It's not rocket science, but it was helpful for me. There is also a video online that you can go to if you want to refer to that instead.


My experience: They felt a little awkward at first because they fit in the entire inside of your ear, but once I got going- it was great. It was WINDY out so I thought for sure these would fly out as soon as I started- and they DIDN'T! Hello, excitement! But, I was still waiting to have to adjust them or for them to fly out. For me, the sweating starts right at 1.5 miles. It NEVER fails! As soon as I got to that point, nothing. It was AMAZING! Well, I was still sweating like a mad woman as usual. These may feel magical, but the sweat will still come- they don't cure that problem :-) They stayed put for the entire 5 miles and I didn't have to adjust or put them back in once. Amazing.

Volume. I noticed nothing odd or anything like that. I know I have read that some people had to turn up the volume to hear better- I had the opposite happen. I turned my volume way down. Maybe my previous headphones just sucked that bad :-) They aren't noise canceling and I appreciate that. Because when you are running, it is still important to be able to hear cars coming and things like that to stay safe.

All in all- these were a HUGE success for me. Hence the title: "Yurbuds are my budz". These will hopefully be my running buddies for a while!
