Add to my list Product summary

The good: The Griffin TuneBuds Color offer a cute, colorful style to match the iPod, and bass response is impressive. The earphones are inexpensive and block out some ambient noise.

The bad: The earbud housing of the Griffin TuneBuds Color is plastic and feels cheap, and the cable doesn't seem that durable. Music is lacking a bit in warmth, and the high end sounds too sharp in some songs.

The bottom line: The Griffin TuneBuds Color are well-suited for iPod-owners on a budget who want ultraportable earphones to match their player. Bass addicts only need apply.

It appears that the whole colorful earbud thing is gaining a little momentum, and we're not unhappy to see it. There's nothing wrong with a little style in your ear. Griffin is jumping into the game with the TuneBuds Color, some very inexpensive ($19.99) sound-isolating earphones that come in six colors tinted to match the iPod Nanos and Shuffles. The 'buds offer bumping bass for the price, but audio purists will be turned off by the sometimes jarring highs.

If you're after some headphones to match that new minty green iPod Nano, the Griffin TuneBuds are the perfect fit. Indeed, you can find a color to match any iPod: they come in light green, silver, red, pink, blue, and light blue. The coloring encompasses the slightly cheap-feeling earbud housing and continues down the 46-inch cable, which terminates in a straight plug that just fits into the iPhone's headphone jack. The cable itself is a little tangle prone and feels like it may not be that durable in the long run, but this isn't a surprise with $20 earbuds.
