Personalized Earbuds Enable Music To Get Buff By
It is not just T-shirts, jewellery, shoes, and watches that are creating new opportunities for firms that offer online personalizing services. The German company Accusta is now offering custom-fit earbuds on its website, which are particularly good if you want to listen to your own tunes when working out at the gym, training for marathons, or going for a long bike ride.
It looks like there are a lot of other people out there that can't listen to MP3 or CD players in sporting mode because the little earbuds keep falling out or they hurt after a while - and we thought we were the ony ones with non-standard acoustic organs.
Accusta sells a kit that lets customers make a mold of their ears, which it then uses to fabricate customized earbuds in one of several colours.
It then integrates the bud with either a Sennheuser (€149), an Eartec (€299) or a Creative (€169) earpiece.
