Julio Ojeda-Zapata of Your Tech Weblog recently wrote about custom earbuds (called iBuds) available from Starkey in Minnesota and Westone Laboratories in Colorado:

I’ve heard from quite a few people that the default iPod earbuds don’t fit their ears. I’m sure Apple does what they can do design the most universal earbud they can, including a recent redesign to do just that, but clearly they won’t be able to satisfy everyone.

Have you tried these? Let’s hear about them.

I’d also love to hear from someone who managed to surprise their loved one with a set of these. How did you manage to covertly capture custom molds?
