The bad: Sound quality through the Radius TruTune isn't great, and some users may not get a great fit.
The bottom line: The Radius TruTune ultralight aluminum earphones won't satisfy discerning listeners, but for users on a budget who want to replace their players' stock earbuds with something more comfortable and stylish, they fit the bill.

Colorful earbuds have become increasingly popular with headphone manufacturers, possibly due to consumer demand for something a little more stylish than plain white or black. It's no wonder: earphones are basically accessories that serve to pipe music to your ears, so they might as well be fashionable. Radius, a new Tennessee-based company pushing out Japanese-designed earbuds, is the latest entry into the burgeoning market of fashion-forward electronics. The company has three product lines, one of which is the $30 TruTune ultralight aluminum earphones.
Unsurprisingly, the main feature of the TruTune earphones is a stylish design. Of course, the cable is still iPod-white (except that of the black version), so bystanders might not immediately notice the wearer's fashion-forward thinking. Further inspection reveals light silver earbuds (encased in aluminum) accented by one of eight colors: blue, light blue, red, pink, green, light green, orange, silver, and black. The colorful detailing is repeated at the intersection of the Y-cable and also around the housing of the iPhone-compatible straight plug at the end of the cable. The included extension cable, which attaches to the earphones to give a total potential length of about 5 feet, also features the vivid casing around its plug and port.
