You splurged and got the iPod nano in your favorite color, so why don't you have matching earbuds? Now you can with Griffin Technology's "Tune Buds" which come in 5 snappy colors (Silver, Light Blue, Purple, Light Green and Red).

At $19.99, your'e not going to expect the quality of your Shure earbuds, but they're surprisingly good, especially with the bass, which is always tricky.

The secret is not only the neodymium dynamic drivers, it's the specially-engineered ear cushions, shaped to perfectly conform to the shape of the inside of your ears, which means enhanced audio isolation from outside distractions. Size matters, folks.

With 3 sizes of interchangeable soft washable silicone ear cushions included in every package, there's a size for everyone, so no more "ear-fatigue."

Next time I want to skip work, I wonder if my editor would accept "my ears are fatigued" as an excuse?
