Earbuds Review: Sharper Image SHP893 PIXIS Earbuds

I recently bought a set of Sharper Image SHP893 PIXIS Metal Earbuds.  They only cost $9.99 at my local close-out discounter:  Ross.  Apparently, they have been discontinued at Sharper Image online.

Specifications

These Sharper Image earbuds boast 9mm diameter trumpets, 18-ohm impedance, 93+-3 dB/mW sensitivity, and 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response.  The microphone type is 4 x 1.5mm.  It has -42+-3 dB/mW sensitivity.  The flexible, tangle-free cord is 120 centimeters (about 4 feet) long. It has a standard 3.5mm stereo plug which is compatible with most portable devices.  There is a disconnect button on the microphone.

Style

These earbuds have a plastic body with a metal barrel around the speaker.  The back of each earbud is open with a metal grate.  Two additional earpads are provided for those who would prefer larger or smaller pads for a good fit.  My earbuds were black, but on Amazon you can find Sharper Image SHP893 earbuds in different colors.

Sound

These earbuds sound quite good.  They promise superior sound, ultra bass boost, and noise isolation.  For the most part they deliver.  However, I think that the "noise isolation" is merely due to the earpads.

Overall

I recommend Sharper Image PIXIS SHP893 earbuds.  I've used them for all day conference calls and found them quite comfortable.  They sound good and offer a good value for the money.
