Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review:
The distinctive white ear buds that come with 3G and 4G iPods meet the audio needs of many listeners, but some don’t like the fit, and still others think the buds’ sound is too tinny and weak. Griffin addresses these concerns with its EarJams, a pair of snap-on plastic ear funnels designed to boost and improve the iPod’s audio performance. The Jams attach directly to the ear buds and use their cone shape to focus the sound within the ear. The Jams also come with three pairs of soft rubber ear pads–large, medium, and small, depending on the size of your ear canal–and a protective carrying case. It’s important to note that the EarJams don’t fit the buds that came with 1G and 2G iPods.

Features and Performance
Every music fan has a different opinion on what constitutes quality sound. To some, it’s expressive, clear high ranges, while others prefer big, booming bass. If you consider yourself a bass believer, the EarJams are right up your alley. The funnels create much deeper tones, turning formerly bright-sounding songs into thumping affairs. The Jams also boost the volume by around 15 to 25 percent, pleasing listeners who think the traditional iPod ear buds are too slight.
The real question, though, is whether this bass monsoon actually improves the music. And the answer, again, is in the ear of the beholder. There’s no question that the Jams sacrifice the high- and mid-range frequencies to improve the low-end performance. A once crisp-sounding acoustic guitar sounds a bit muddled through the Jams, while vocals that formerly soared end up stooping instead. On the other hand, the Jams can also take a flat-sounding hip-hop track and give it some serious punch. Listeners may be best served by using the EarJams on an album-by-album basis, as some songs are clearly improved by the added wallop, while others just create a thud.
One huge area of improvement is the way the EarJams fit within the ears. Once listeners determine which ear pads fit the best, the Jams nestle securely within the ear canals and won’t come out until pulled. Contrast that with the default ear buds, which sit loosely in the ear and can easily tumble out while jogging or walking, or even during a quick turn of the head. The pads are also washable in case they get a bit waxy.
A final bonus comes in the form of the zippered carrying case, which holds the ear buds, EarJams, and all of the pads in its padded pouch. The main compartment opens to reveal two mesh pockets and a third zippered pocket. –Rivers Janssen

WORKS FOR ME! by T. Sides
I must have really small ear canal openings because almost ANY set of headphones without clips, or headband (or some sort of support) all fall off or out of my ears. The EarJams include 3 sizes of rubber “stoppers” which help secure them in my ears as well as blocking out environmental noise. I even stopped taking my Bose noise-canceling headphones on trips because they’re too bulky and EarJams work well enough for me to hear music and watch movies. True– they don’t cancel out engine noise and hum, but they do a darn good job blocking it.
Two kinds of plastic caps are included for both old and newer versions of Apple’s Earbud headphones, so if you have both, you’ll get a bonus pair of EarJams for the price of one!Griffin Technology 4039-EJAM EarJam Earbud Sound Enhancing Covers
Just what I needed by Laura Schwartz
For some reason, the headphones that come with the iPod kept falling out of my ears. (I guess I was the victim of poor product design!) These work great for keeping the earphones in my ears. I wouldn’t have bought them if I didn’t have a problem with the regular phones, though.
Bottom line: Great if you need something to keep the phones in place
yes, they do fit the iPhone!! by planetmango
I’m not sure why others have said these don’t fit iPhone earbuds. This package comes with two sets of snap-on covers - one fits the iPhone buds and the other fits regular iPod buds. As for the sound, there really is very little difference with these covers on or off. Maybe a little less highs with the covers on, but I had to switch back and forth several times to really tell any difference. The best solution would be for Apple to offer their in-ear buds in an iPhone model with the microphone, etc. But since Apple isn’t doing that, these covers are a good second choice. These are far more comfortable than the iPhone buds by themselves, and you get much better isolation from outside noise. For the price, I don’t think you can go wrong by giving these a try.
Great idea, bad solution by Leonardo A. Silva
Good idea to solve the problem of the quality of the apple headphones, but not a good solution, because increase to much the size of the earphones and does not fit in to the ears.
