Gear and Wear
A comprehensive review of gear and clothing for the active lifestyle, run and written by an avid hiker, runner, and all around fitness junky. The aim of the Gear and Wear is to fill the gap left from the lack of complete and thorough reviews available anywhere else. As such, all products reviewed by Gear & Wear have been used extensively before being reviewed to insure only reliable information is being passed on to other consumers. Reviews can be found categorized as a piece of gear (for hiking, camping, climbing, boxing/MMA, working out or other), wear (for footwear, shirts, jackets, pants and shorts or accessories) or by their brand name. Additionally we'll also upload a review on some food to keep you fueled! We can also be found on Twitter @GearandWearBlog.
Cost: $20.99 The bad: I've tried all earbud sizes and they still like to fall out if I'm moving too much or too fast. Rating Variety/Appearance: 10/10. This is one of the reasons Skull Candy is so widely liked. They consistently crank out quality products in all the colors/patterns/schemes you could ever want. The INK'D 2 earbuds follow that and come in 20 designs that look very fresh and inspired. Feel/Comfort: 3/10. When you put the earbuds in your ear comfortably they fall out super easy. The only real way to keep them in is to shove them into your ear which (as you can imagine) isn't comfortable at all. Quality/Durability: 10/10. Skull Candy makes products that are strong and durable and even offer a pretty cool warranty that covers most defects/manufacturer's issues. Value: 7/10. I gave these a neutral 7 because while I can't get these to fit comfortably (and therefore rarely use them) I have many friends with their own INK'D 2s who love them and can't get enough of them. Other: 10/10. These are some of the loudest and clearest earbuds I have ever owned, they easily compete with Bose on sound quality but do so for significantly less money. Overall: 40/50. Verdict: This is a mixed bag, if you can comfortably get the earbuds to fit and stay in your ears then these are easily the best earbuds you can get for under $25. If you're like me where you can't get them to fit for the life of you then chances are you just spent $21 for a paperweight that won't leave your desk. Comments are closed.

About your Reviewer: Joe P.Growing up in Michigan and around the Great Lakes has made it easy to be an avid outdoors enthusiast and conservationist my whole life. I love doing anything that keeps me staying active and being outdoors. This ranges from running, lifting, climbing, hiking, camping, biking, etc. All of these hobbies of mine are things I take very seriously and love to do. Because of this, before I make any purchase for one of my passions I try to do as much research about a product as possible to insure I am getting a product that I will enjoy for years. That has led to me starting this site in hopes of helping others avoid the guess work I went through by providing honest and unbiased product reviews.
