Leave it to Yurbuds to educate me that there is a definite difference between men and women. Get your mind out of the gutter; we are talking about inside your ears, Mates.

Cool Stuff has previously highlighted the wired versions of Yurbuds ranging from an affordable $19-$59. But when I am out wacking the vao on the plantation with my Ken Onion CRKT or ESEE Junglas sapelu, sawing with my Silky Boy folding saw... nothing is worse than to cut your own cord, and literally I would do so without Yurbuds bluetooth.  

Yurbuds is legendary for offering multiple silicone earpieces that will probably fit your unique ear mold. Their instruction manual says they will even help you with more if you send them a photo of your ear. It’s all good, as the removable inserts can be washed with dishwasher soap to clean earwax and prevent ear infection. I am very pleased that the Yurbuds' Bluetooth batteries last non-stop six hours with music, podcasts, or your dear spouse micro managing your life.

The Liberty has over the ear retention, which doubly locks your bluetooth on your person. The Leap, in both men and smaller ladies size, rely on the great fit of their silicone insert to hold the beauties in place. I tested both, yes even the ladies version (I thought the colors were artistic, the design was clever… ok, I had my girly man moment), and found them to be perfect for our active lifestyle, and my frequent 45 minute aiga bus ride from the Satala canneries to Carl's Junior Nu’uuli for an honest to goodness REAL Chocolate Malt.

Andy Forsgren, an owner of Laufou Center, cannot understand what the heck I am doing there. Keep it a secret on those malts before he raises the prices on me. If that happens Coolios, it’s back to Maliu Mai with all of you for Vailimas, oka, and happy times in the vaipuga.

How does Yurbuds make $74.99 bluetooths, and even cheaper wired versions that sound better and are more comfortable than the other guys? I absolutely have no clue and simply don't care... just keep them coming, so I can savor a new model every Christmas.

Get that last minute Xmas gift to your family overseas by ordering direct form Yurbuds website: www.yurbuds.com. Great sound, comfort, quality and a price for all budgets... so after gifting, order a few for yourself. My kids are getting their set each for Hanukkah.

I keep at least one in my video gear bag for documentaries and national TV interviews. Hurricane Anna tested, Coolio approved.
