yurbuds Running Party ...

For over two years, I have been a loyal user of yurbuds Sports Earphones. I love them. J loves them (Note: He may be more obsessed with them than I). I recommend them to everyone I know. And I can honestly say that I have NEVER EVER EVER had a issue with them. They stay in place (thanks to patented Twist Lock Technology). They are uber-comfortable. And they funnel the sound directly into my ear canal (better sound quality), while still allowing me to hear the ambient noises as I run.

They are awesomesauce. And I dare you to find a better set of earphones. Actually, don't bother. You can't.

Recently, yurbuds launched a new line specifically for women: Inspire for Women.

The Inspire for Women features the same technology and the FlexSoft comfort fit, as the entire yurbuds line, but they are specifically designed to fit smaller ears.

Additionally, the Inspire for Women, which retail for $29.99 at Target, come in six different colors (which I love).

pink, yellow, green, purple, orange and blue (not shown)

Yesterday afternoon, seven of my friends and I were given the opportunity to attend a yurbuds Running Party where we got to test out the Inspire for Women line.

We started by breaking into our yurbuds gift boxes, which included a pair of yurbuds Inspire for Women earphones, a yurbuds Sweaty Band, yurbuds "INSPIRE" sports towel, as well as a Luna Bar and song suggestions from Ironman Champion Mirinda Carfrae.

Once everyone learned how to use their yurbuds (most of the group had never tried them before), we headed out on a run to see how they held up to the winds of Hurricane Sandy.

There wasn't a single complaint.

and we're off ...

Once we got back, we tried to think of ways to "unlock" the yurbuds from our ears. Not even a handstand could make it happen ...

If that doesn't stamp a seal of approval on the yurbuds Inspire for Women line, nothing will.
