With the high use of ipods, mp3 players, cell phones as well as other audio gadgets, kids these days face a real risk of hearing loss. This is compounded even more by the fact that kids and adolescents feel that hearing loss is an elderly problem and hence have no issue in simply blasting their ipods at maximum volume.
On any given day when I’m outside I see so many people just playing their ipods to loud. When others can hear it, you know it’s just to loud.
Ultimate Ears, the makers of high end headphones is trying to address this problem with their new Loud Enough headphones. Ultimate Ears works by dropping the audio signal of sound. Now you may think to yourself, who in their right mind would buy headphones that reduce the sound, the whole reason the volume is on high is because music is meant to be heard loud.
What Ultimate Ears does is it takes advantages of two tricks. The first is it reduces passive ambient noise and the second trick is it has exceptional bass. By combining these two techniques, the overall audio experience delivered is very good.
Priced at only $40, and available in a variety of colors, there will be a lot of demand for this gadget.
