Rating: 8 out of 10
Pros:
Multiple tips and braided cord.
Cons:
There were some quality issues with the sample I tested, but hopefully they’ll have those issues addressed soon.
Verdict: These are some really nice headphones and a good start from Zagg. The sound quality is good and the multiple tips make it easy to find the right fit.

You can purchase this product directly from Zagg for $79.

Question: Can you rank your top earphones? Also can you rank your top cheap earphones?

I really really want the Atomic bass earphones but I don’t have enough money and my Iphone 3G’s ipod functionality is basically wasting away =[

Luke Schlensker says...

Question: Can you review or do your top 5 Iphone 3G cases?

Chase Page says...

I’ve been a subscriber on YouTube to you for a while…
I was wondering–> What ever did you do with you iPhone 1st generation?
Didn’t you used to have one?!?!?
Could you sell it to me for a price because I just received my first paycheck and I really REALLY want one.
(I’m 15 years old so I’m oober excited!)

Any way Thanks for the opportunity to win the Radious earbuds!!!

Thanks Omar!
-Chase

Question:
I’m thinking about finally dishing out the money to buy an iphone this coming month (feb). But with all of the upcoming competition against the iphone (pre, etc,), it seems that maybe the iphone may come out with some new hardware or a better competitor may debut. With all of this in mind, is it a good idea to spend the money (which is a lot for me, i’m a student) at this time? Or will it esentially be wasted as a better phone (either by apple or a competitor) comes out this coming year?

xvii says...

hey omar! my question for you is.. whats on your iphone? music/video/apps. just curious :)
also, how did buymeaniphone.com start?

Fernando J says...

When are you finally going to annouce the first winner for the headphones…nah just kidding. What do you use to keep up with iPhone information? also your link on you tube says ….iphonen.com.

Sandilinii says...

Question: Since you’ve reviewed many types of headphones, would you say that the more expensive headphones are worth the price? I see a lot of headphones for well over $100. Are they so much better than a pair you could pick up for >$50?

Thanks

bilal l says...

You do a lot of 3G cases, but what about the 1st gen? What’s a good case for people with the original iPhone?

Bryan C says...

Hello, ive been watching all the comments above and i think i don’t have a chance to win. Just wanted to ask you what makes you want to make reviews of stuff? And what is your favorite accesory for the iphone 3g?

Thanks for listening,
Bryan Cabrera

ruinerffxi says...

throughout your case reviews u at most say something that u didn’t like about the case but i don’t think u ever gave a case a really bad review. what are the cases that you would say are the worst 3g cases out there?

wallz918 says...

Q: So, which headphones have better sound quality? Radius atomic bass or the z buds?

cheezztoe says...

hey Omar! my question for you is: Which is your most all time favorite case(that you actually use frequently) for the iPhone 3G and why?

Mike M. says...

Is there really anway to free up “ram” on your iPhone 3G?

Ntvixd says...

What is the best to keep the iphone running snappy?rebooting? Force quitting? Free up memory?

monkeyape123 says...

hey omar what’s in ur opinion the best case under $50?

I dont think people got the whole, “one question” idea omar.haha.

Question: What are you hoping to review next?(your line up)

Thanks for all your giveaways! now im gonna go say hi to Applegurl.peace

iphonenewbe says...

question: would you recommend to get these headsets now or later when and if zagg fixes the few problems it has?

Stephanie says...

this is a pretty good review….when i saw the buds i wanted to get them cause they’re pretty small but now maybe i won’t since two defects is one too many for earbuds…thanks for the great review!

Walshiiit says...

Nice review,

Question- Would you ever jailbreak your Iphone?

Uriel says...

Do you think you can test out some cases with a iphone w/bodyguardz or Zagg shield? After having the iclear scratch my phone I am looking for a nice combo.

Yuvraj says...

question -i want to know what are you favorite top ten iphone 3g accerioes or cases. thanks

coolguy314 says...

Have you tried the skullcandy titans? I heard they they are really good.

Matthew R. says...

Question: What would be you top five headphones under $50?
Keep up the great work!

Jordan Perez says...

Question: what would be your top cheap iPhone cases and why

myiphone123 says...

Great review

What do u think about the whole iphone nano thing

C. Abraham says...

Question:

Becides cases, are there any other iphone accessories you use on a daily basis? Car accessories maybe? and since we’re on the topic, are you still using the same Vaja case as your daily case?

Also, have you run into any nice sleeve style cases since the incipio orion? i like sleeve style cases but they seem to be very rare

BROWNGOAT07 says...

question: After all the cases that you have reviewed for the iphone 3g since day 1, what would be the case that you would end up slipping your iphone in most of the time?

Michael Maag says...

I want to find the most rugged corded headset. I go thru a pair every threey months. Sick of spending $100 a pop for stuff that self destructs. How do theses Zagg cords hold up?

thaigerstyle says...

i play a lot of iphone games when im at home. if im not then someone else is. my question is that when it comes to proper battery care, should i be running down the battery and charging every night or should i just keep it plugged in all the time while playing?

C Berry says...

I really don’t see how you can give these headphones a decent review(your review seemed to have a positive tone) if they’re already falling apart on you.

Jaspen says...

What would you consider to be the best headphones to use on the go? Head phones that are best for everyday use and good sound.

Joseph V. says...

Hey! I was wondering what kind of headphones do YOU use, Omar? (and the rest of the guys at BuyMeAnIphone.com). Also, on a scale from 1 to 10, would would you rate the V-Moda Vibe Duo earphones w/ mic? They look really nice but they’re like a $80-$100. So, i just wanted your opinion.

Vicky says...

Hi Omar,
I just got my iPhone and just love it. Watching your reviews has helped me figure out what is best for my needs. So, I just bought me a pair of ZBuds. I got them off of eBay for half the cost. Only red. They haven’t arrived yet, but hopefully they will be good.

Did you know that the URL on youTube is incorrect? Does this qualify for my question? :)

Harlen H says...

great vid. I like the fact that the outside of the wire is fabric, that seems interesting.

My question:

I know there’s no such thing as a dumb question but…

I looked on radius’ website and I was just wondering if the earphones you’re giving away are the ones with the mic or the regular black earphones. I’m assuming they’re the ones with the built-in mic but I was just curious. Thanx in advance!

Shane Franklin says...

Hey, Omar! I think one of the biggest problems I’ve had with finding a great pair of earbuds is that the devices I’m using don’t always pump out the best volume. I’m currently using a BlackBerry Storm, and I have yet to find a pair of earbuds without inline volume control that can give me the sound I want. That being said; what earbuds that have the inline volume control feature would you recommend the most? Thanks!

donald beatty says...

hay i loved this review. i was going to get these headphones but also wanted the new apple in ear ones…im saveing up for one or the outher. could u do a review telling ur thoughts on the in ear headphones by apple? =] thank u

David says...

I saw the video (I hated the video that shows the zbuds at zagg.com as it won’t say anything). But you convinced me and I got to buy them.

great buy. zbuds are awesome. totally worthed it.
