VIBE BS Co. Ltd (www.vibeworld.co.kr)Seoul launched its new Vibes BS (Body Sensation) range of amplified earphones few days back. We received a sample for testing it and found it an excellent product for those who care for their ear. First thing we notice about them that these earphones come with their own amplifier and volume control selection. The 3.5mm jack is used in these earphones and I would say this is one thing that makes these earphones compatible to almost any audio device. Usual headphones or earphones when used for long duration cause harm to our ear in two ways. First thing is the sound coming from normal headphones in directed straight to eardrums causing hearing loss. High volume can even make someone deaf! This is scary and no one wants to be deaf. Second damage is that since these headphones cover the ear canal, it makes condition favorable for bacteria and fungus to grow inside our ear resulting in fungal or bacterial infections in ear. If left untreated can again result in hearing loss and not to forget the severe pain in ear.

Diagrams above illustrate how normal earphones will block your ear canal and cause problems while Vibes BS just let your ear work like they do naturally while also letting you listen to your favorite song with bodily sensation effect. This is helpful in many situations like you are with some of your friends gossiping and your friend wants you to listen to his favorite new song, with Vibes you listen to it while also continuing gossips with your friends. If you have connected these earphones with your cell phone, you can also listen to incoming calls but you will have to use phone inbuilt mic to talk.

To get an unbiased user experience of Vibes earphones we choose a volunteer who was completely unaware of this brand but very fond of listening music. At first she was not convinced and said it was not loud, when we told her about the presence of volume control in the earphone, she was impressed with the powerful output and clarity. She enjoyed the feeling of the music in form of vibrations produced from the earphones that were perfectly in tune with the music. All our volunteers also appreciated built quality of Vibes.

Talking of battery backup, all I could say, you just need to charge it and forget it. When you plug it for charging, a red LED glows indicating that battery is charging and when it’s fully charged, the LED goes off. This is nice because you can be sure that you never over or under charge the unit. Obviously you don’t need to keep a constant eye on the LED, put it on charge and check it once in a while. Vibe is equipped with Lithium ion battery which is known for providing best battery backup and these is no memory effect which is seen in cheaper Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries.

Charger is very compact and lightweight. You might need not carry charger all time, you can retract the cable from charger which also doubles as a USB cable, all you need is to plug one end to USB of your laptop or desktop and other end to the Vibe amplifier and it will start charging. If your car head unit has USB then you can also plug it there and charge it on the go. Very useful thing and I wish even cell phone manufacturers if flowed this, could save many people from buying extra car chargers for their phone.

At last all we can say that Vibes BS is not only a new kind of earphone which gives unique feel of sound but its features makes it must have for those who use earphones for longer durations. We love the white color but many geeks want their gadgets to be in black, and yes Vibe BS is also available in black.

Wonder how loud these small speakers can be which you see in the picture above? These speakers though small have inbuilt rechargeable batteries, so no external power source is needed (think about mobility and outdoor use) but does these speakers give enough output for outdoor use? All these questions come to halt when we actually played a song outside with just one speaker and some of the over sensitive ear creatures (read girls) had their fingers in their ear. Twist them and they open from middle to give some bass too! This is new technology, which enables these small speakers to give bass. Don’t expect glass breaking bass but its definitely good than having no bass at all. Speakers look well built and plastic used feels solid as well as nice to touch. Finishing of this product is very good, no sharp edges anywhere. Turn the speakers on and you will see bright nice looking blue LED and when you plug these speakers in USB for charging, the same blue LED will turn red.

Suppose you buy a pair of these speakers and your friends too, now don’t regret why you all bought same thing because interesting part is you can attach any numbers of these x-mini speakers together and you guessed right, sound output will be just mind blowing! More the number of x-mini speakers, more will be the sound output. So tell all your friends to get these and have a blast.

X-mini comes with a 3.5mm audio jack which is a kind of industry standard and can be found on most mp3 players, multimedia phones, laptop etc even if has sometime different then there are always adapters available so mating x-mini speakers with your multimedia device should never be a problem. My friend found these speakers very useful for his laptop as laptop speakers are not very powerful and does not always offer good quality sound and he is a movie freak watching moving on his laptop is his favorite pastime. Being small he can carry them in his laptop bad very easily and since it does not need external power, it does not drain his laptop battery as well.

I am enjoying these x-mini speakers and will keep posting more about them.

UPDATE: X-mini speakers featured on CNBC TV18 Tech Toyz Show as one of the must have Work Station Gadget. Sweet!
