Yurbuds iPhone App Wants to Capture You Ear on Camera

Posted on 11 March 2010 by


Tired of poor fitting ear buds that are always failing out of your ears?

Yurbuds, makers soft rubber tip earbud enhancers that slip over existing earbud-style headphones, now has an iPhone App which is meant to help with this annoyance.

“Size yur Ear!” for the iPhone allows consumers to easily submit photos of their ear and purchase custom-sized earbuds directly from an iPhone or iPod touch. The Yurbuds earbud enhancers, when sized using the “Size yur Ear!” iPhone App, are guaranteed not to fall out, remain comfortable for hours and deliver exceptional sound quality.

The application also offers a video tutorial that teaches users how to use the application to ensure the proper custom fit is achieved.  It all seems quite simple.  All you do is launch the application, take a picture of your ear and hit submit and purchase.  Your Yurbuds ship the very next day.

The iPhone application is powered by yurbud’s patent-pending yurScan technology to determine a person’s yurbuds size via the camera feature of the iPhone application.  Yurbuds worked closely with top audiologists and Metaphase Design Group to develop an earbud enhancer that locks gently in the ear while avoiding known pain points.

The App is available for free in the iTunes App Store here and the Yurbuds sell for $19.99 here.
