Auria Review and Giveaway

Finally the day you have all been waiting for!

Ok. Maybe you haven't been waiting for it. 

But I have been looking forward to it. 

A couple months ago, the amazing people over at Auria.com contacted me to try out one of their products.
When my hot pink and black Exceed Earphones arrived I was anxious to try them out.

 I admit I was a little apprehensive when I first saw them.  The earphones looked larger than I expected and  have had earphone issues in the past.
  I have a difficult time wearing earphones when I run for a few reasons:
1. I can't stand the wire bumping against me when I run
2. Ear sweat...ick. 
3. Most earphones hurt my tender, baby ears....

Let me tell you, ALL of my issues have been laid to rest!  

Let's address issue #1- Included in the box was a little clip that clips the earphone wire to your shirt, sleeve, shorts...whatever, but it keeps it in place.  There is no bumping it or pulling it...I love that.  I actually lost mine for a day and started to panic...I found it in the bottom of my cavernous purse.

Issue #2- You don't have to cram it all the way down into your ear canal. It sits loosely in your outer ear so it doesn't feel slimy.;)
What Auria says about the In-the-Ear vs. In Ear:
In most circumstances, it is useful to hear important ambient sounds around you during exercise, training, or working out. Our goal was to deliver high-quality audio while also permitting users to hear car horns, warning shouts or merely friendly banter from training partners.

The Xfit System holds speakers directly at the openings of ear canals without totally blocking all external sounds like in-ear styles. Our earphones strive to introduce music into the ear as naturally as possible. 

Issue #3- included in the pack was 4 different size "eco rings"(small, small-conical, medium, and large) so all I had to do was find which one was the best fit for my ear and VOILA!

Super comfortable! The first time I ran with these I kept expecting them to fall out of my ears because they didn't feel tight and uncomfortable.....they have never fallen out!  These are no foolin', no fussin', no pain, earphones!

A couple more bonuses....they have little personalizers that you can get to customize the outside of the earbuds.  Mine came with the pink running girl personalizers. Super Cute!

The In-Line Control: 

This little guy is auh-mazing.  This controls your volume so that you don't have to take your earphones out or rip your ipod off your arm everytime you need to adjust the volume or talk to someone.

Here's what Auria has to say about the Sleek In-Line Control:

Our finger touch slide control permits easy Volume adjustment. A textured Function button enables Music and Video control (Advance track, Restart track, and Go back one track), Pause and Answer/End call for the iPhone 4/3GS/3G and other iPods as applicable. An integrated Microphone can be used for hands-free calls and Voice control when connected to iPhone 4/3GS/3G and many other mobile phones. The control is slim and lightweight.

Listen:  If you are not happy with the earphones you are using, I highly recommend these!
And more good news to one blessed readers....the fantastic people at Auria want to bless one of you with a pair of your own!
