Earbuds Blooming in 2009 -- We Like These 6



Zagg Z.buds

When it comes to stereo mobile headsets, we like nylon cords over the typical plastic ones because they tend to tangle less. The only downside is we usually have to pay over $100 for that kind of convenience. Retailing for just $79.99, ZAGG's new Z.buds have a lengthy nylon cord and function as cell phone headsets with passive noise-cancellation that lets iPhone users easily switch between calls and music. Our wishes have been heard.
