Custom fit headphones, as in ones that are molded to your ears, usually cost well north of $500.  Not any more.  JHAudio now offers a pair of custom molded headphones for a hair under $400 ($399 to be exact).  When you consider the price and customization it’s actually is a bit of a steal, especially for any of those of you in the market for superior ambient sound isolation and don’t wanna hassle with active noise cancellation, which often means changing batteries and a bullky setup.

JHAudio says that their JH|5 PRO headphones deliver “unsurpassed quality and sound clarity.”  Inside each ear bud is proprietary sound driver, which incorporate an unspecified amount of drivers that should produce bellowing bass, solid mids and crisp highs.  In fact they sound so damn good, they’ve sold them to a handful of celeb musicians, including members of Aerosmith, Guns ‘N Roses, Lady Gaga, Linkin Park, Alicia Keys, Barry Manilow and others.

Now, unlike other high end headphones you’ll have to visit an audio specialist and have these custom molded to your ear shape, which enables the unparralled sound isolation. Once completed, you’ll be able to choose from 50 finishes or simply leave them in a clear acrylic shell allowing you to view the components inside.

The  JH|5 PROs ship in a velvet bag inside a personalized Otterbox 1000 case that ensure your headphones won’t be damaged.

Sleek, simple and versatile are just a few of the words that describe the a-JAYS One+ earbuds.

They’re actually the second iteration of the earbuds.  The plus has been added to denote the added inline microphone that sports a single button to control the start and stop of your tunes on your iPhone or Android device.  A tangle-free flat cable ensures that you won’t waste countless minutes removing the knots, time that should be spent listening to your tunes.

While they don’t make an iOS app, the JAYS Headset Control App for Android adds additional functions such as volume control, track control and more.

Inside each bud is an 8.6mm driver that produces a 20hz to 18k hz frequency response.  Bassy?  Yup.  Each pair come with 5 pairs of silicone sleeves ranging in size from XXS to L.

You can buy them for $49.99

These are UrbanEar‘s Bagis headphones.  They’re nothing too snazzy.  They utilize an in ear design that should cut outside ambient noise, increase bass – all that good stuff.  They’ve also instituted a combined fabric and TPE cord to eliminate cord noise and are available in 8 bright ass colors.

But that’s not really what we like about them.  Each earpiece snaps together making it, or so we hope, easier to transport the buds in your pocket without the cord getting all tangled.  

They’ll cost $30 and are available now in cerise, navy, orange, red, lavender, grass, white and black.

Call us skeptical, but we don’t think Sony’s MDR-EX1000 EX-Monitor Earphones are worth $799.99.  That’s how much Audiocubes has the high end earbuds going for, which they say deliver a frequency range of between 3-30,000hz.  Human hearing typically ranges between 20-20,000hz, and that’s even a stretch, especially if you’re old.  For all that cash you’ll receive 10 different sized silicone tips, a pair of 16mm drivers, a carrying case and an extension cord with a gold plated plug.

It’s a story as old as the world itself – hot girl sits alone at a table streaming music into her headphones, when a couple geeky dudes start giving her longing and lecherous looks. Good god man, learn to talk to girls.

Understandably, the girl is initially uninterested, but then she she realizes that all three of them are using the new Skunk Juice Ear Buds, which perform a trick of electromagnetic musical union, allowing you to detach your audio wire halfway up its length and then, in one swift move, reattach it to someone else’s wire.

So in the video making the rounds letting the populace know of Skunk Juice’s Ear Buds, which is part commercial, part hopeful viral entity, part music video meant to make guys feel bad, the hot girl does just that, she takes turns assessing the musical tastes of the geeky dudes by way of her trusty Skunk Juice Ear Buds, then kicks both to the curb – in a very literal sense – and electromagnetically plugs the wires back where they belong: on her own smartphone.

Which begs the question, if you’re going to be an asshole about it, and diss people about their music tastes – no, if you’re actually going to physically propel them out of the picture because of their music tastes, what’s the use of the Skunk Juice Ear Buds again?

Earlier this year, at CES 2010, Digital Group Audio, the guys behind the wonderful and portable Livespeakr, showed us a very early prototype of their ZipBuds, otherwise known as Zip Up Earbuds.  After the show it looks like they went back to the drawing board and further refined the product.

Today they showed us a teaser photo of the upcoming, and what we assume to be the final design of the ZipBuds.  We don’t know when they’ll be available but logic says this holiday quarter.

For those who really, really like guns, the Teknine 9MM Earphones have 18k gold, 9mm bullet casings as part of their design, with an eagle engraved on the bullets for patriotic measure. No word on their comfort level, or whether they make you look like a badass. I guess you’ll have to just go up to someone and ask.

The Teknine 9MM Earphones are available now for $250.
