Now hear this, Plugz style

By Mir

January 31, 2011

This week’s contest is for everyone with an iPhone or a Blackberry who’s realized that the factory earbuds are kind of lousy. (My gripe with Apple headphones: They fall out of my ears. Are my ears oddly-shaped? What’s wrong with my ears??)

An upgrade would be nice, right? How about a pair of iFrogz Ear Pollution Plugz for iPhone/Blackberry, a stylish pair of noise isolating earbuds with a high-def microphone built right in. They come with three different size ear pieces, so you can customize the fit that works best for you. This pair I have to give away happens to be lime green, which will look great with your eyes. (Okay, maybe your eyes aren’t green. But they are pretty.)

Want to win ’em? Of course you do! To enter, first go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 8:00 a.m. Eastern (that’s 5:00 a.m. Pacific) on Thursday, February 3rd, 2011 for a chance to win. Winner will be determined by random number generation and volume. But mostly that random number thing.

Ready? Go!

first comment, woo hoo! pick me, pick me, please!
RebeccaF. on January 31, 2011 at 3:05 pm

Between my husband and my kids, I no longer have my earbuds. Would love a pair!

Thanks, Mir!

You’re so pretty!
SaraK on January 31, 2011 at 3:05 pm

I would love these!
Becca on January 31, 2011 at 3:05 pm

We got thru headphone around here like crazy, so another pair is always needed. Plus a mike! I might use those on the stair machine at the gym so when I’m using my iPhone as an iPod and someone calls me, I can huff and puff at them without missing a step.
Beth on January 31, 2011 at 3:06 pm

Oh, yes, these would be perfect!
Kristine on January 31, 2011 at 3:06 pm

yes please! thanks =)
Jenn on January 31, 2011 at 3:06 pm

These would be great!!! 🙂
Katie on January 31, 2011 at 3:07 pm

Another pair of earbuds would definitely come in handy – thanks!
Joanne on January 31, 2011 at 3:07 pm

These are just what I need! Thanks!
Cindy on January 31, 2011 at 3:07 pm

it’s not your ears… they fall out of mine too. I’d love these! thanks.
Ellie W. on January 31, 2011 at 3:08 pm

I would love these! My ones from Apple hurt my ears!
Jeannette on January 31, 2011 at 3:09 pm

Would love a pair of new earbuds!!
TheresaAK on January 31, 2011 at 3:09 pm

Thank you!
chesney on January 31, 2011 at 3:13 pm

I lost mine and this would be a great replacement
Gennie on January 31, 2011 at 3:16 pm

Sounds (eh, eh?) perfect! Thanks, Pretty Mir!
pam on January 31, 2011 at 3:16 pm

Oh yes please!!!
ste on January 31, 2011 at 3:17 pm

I think I’m going nuts because I read on your blogs too much that I have said to myself! Would rather stay at home and watch tv because of how it turns your brain off, the earbuds. I’ve almost never been able to wear earbuds because of my weirdly shaped ears!
Kristine on January 31, 2011 at 3:18 pm

these would be a great new upgrade from the factory standard…
Kyallee on January 31, 2011 at 3:19 pm

You mean there’s a choice besides the earbuds that came with my MP3 player?! Wow, I’ve never had cool earbuds before… Thanks for hosting another great giveaway!
EG on January 31, 2011 at 3:21 pm

Ugh, yes, the included ear buds leave something to be desired!
Thornacious on January 31, 2011 at 3:23 pm

OMG, lime green is totally my favorite color! I would love these! (And hug them and squeeze them and call them George.)
Leila on January 31, 2011 at 3:24 pm

Ooooh, those would be so cool. And I need a new pair…
Cindy on January 31, 2011 at 3:24 pm

Sounds lovely!
Ami on January 31, 2011 at 3:24 pm

I would love to win these. The apple earbuds kill my ears.
heidi s. on January 31, 2011 at 3:26 pm

need ’em – cat chewed up the last pair!
Patricia on January 31, 2011 at 3:26 pm

I could stand a new pair of earbuds. My kids got a hold of mine. I do not want them back.
Katherine on January 31, 2011 at 3:26 pm

I’d love to win these and give them to my son – he goes through ear buds like candy! And he really likes this style. I, OTOH, don’t like this style (any size and it still hurts my ears) and much prefer the standard Apple earbuds.
Kris on January 31, 2011 at 3:28 pm

Sweet! And lime green is awesome.
Monique on January 31, 2011 at 3:29 pm

Oh, “sounds” good! (rim shot: ba-da bum!) yes, I’m lame, I know. 🙂
Alisa on January 31, 2011 at 3:31 pm

Yes, please!
Whitney on January 31, 2011 at 3:31 pm

Green is my favorite color too!
steph on January 31, 2011 at 3:33 pm

Ooooohhh….nice!
Kate on January 31, 2011 at 3:35 pm

Sweet!
Jessica on January 31, 2011 at 3:37 pm

My daughter would love these!
Clare on January 31, 2011 at 3:37 pm

Please pick me!
Jessica M. on January 31, 2011 at 3:39 pm

SO perfect for my daughter!! She is currently obsessed with all things lime green. Ah… teenagers. :o)
Daisy on January 31, 2011 at 3:39 pm

Would LOVE to win these!! Any my eyes are green, does that increase my chances to win? No?
Sharon M on January 31, 2011 at 3:39 pm

Me please! I don’t have earphone for my iPhone…my son seems to have extras…
Nancy R on January 31, 2011 at 3:40 pm

I have green eyes!
Emily on January 31, 2011 at 3:43 pm

Another great one– yay for your contests, thanks Mir!
Carrie Hellbusch on January 31, 2011 at 3:45 pm

Fingers crossed for this one!
Danielle on January 31, 2011 at 3:48 pm

These “sound” great. Get it?
Bob on January 31, 2011 at 3:49 pm

by 8:00 AM thursday morning, I hope to be the proud owner of the 1st of the verizon iphones. So – I’m throwing my hat in the ring for free earbuds. ’cause I won’t be able to afford anything else for a while…..
Lynne on January 31, 2011 at 3:54 pm

I would love to have a pair of ear buds that fit. I thought I had odd ears, but maybe I am not so odd after all. Here’s hoping.
Emily on January 31, 2011 at 3:56 pm

Oh, I’d love these! I hate the ear buds that came with my iphone.
RebeccaL on January 31, 2011 at 3:58 pm

My eyes are green and I’d love to have a pair of earbuds that might fit me better! I have tiny ears and had not had good luck finding a good fit.
Crisanne on January 31, 2011 at 4:04 pm

I’d love a pair of green ear buds…maybe I wouldn’t lose them amid all the other cords/cables that way!
Midj on January 31, 2011 at 4:04 pm

You are so twinkly and sparkly today. And your hair, though undoubtably pulled back, is looking extra shiny! Oh, and yes, earbuds, please!
Kaedra on January 31, 2011 at 4:10 pm

My ears are also apparently malformed. I’d love this!
Heidi on January 31, 2011 at 4:16 pm

Earbuds fall out of my ears too. Nothing wrong with your ears. 🙂
Kate on January 31, 2011 at 4:21 pm

I never really thought about the fact that earbuds could come in different sizes- just figured it was one-size-fits-all and only the decorations varied. I’d love a chance to see if new ones fit better!
Eva on January 31, 2011 at 4:23 pm

Very awesome contest!
Leah on January 31, 2011 at 4:23 pm

There must be an earbud monster around here (similar to the sock monster). Could definitely use a replacement!
Mom24@4evermom on January 31, 2011 at 4:23 pm

My daughter would love these!
amy on January 31, 2011 at 4:27 pm

i love lime green.
Curls on January 31, 2011 at 4:27 pm

What?? I can’t hear you!! But would love to win…Thanks.
Trish on January 31, 2011 at 4:36 pm

awesome, love ifrogz gear
Tiffany on January 31, 2011 at 4:37 pm

These would be perfect for my nephew who is borrowing his sisters bright pink headphones at the moment! Hope I win!
Rosie on January 31, 2011 at 4:37 pm

I haven’t had earbuds since mine broke several years ago. My husband hates it when I borrow his.
Emily on January 31, 2011 at 4:42 pm

I’d love to have nice earbuds. Thanks, Mir!
Kristy on January 31, 2011 at 4:49 pm

I could totally use these at work to block out my cube mates…is that wrong?
Christy on January 31, 2011 at 4:49 pm

Awesome! My apple ones fall out of my ears too!
Mary O on January 31, 2011 at 4:56 pm

Oh cool!
Daisy on January 31, 2011 at 4:58 pm

I’m in! Not for me; these things are never hearing aid compatible. IF I win, these are for my son, the one who goes through a bazillion pair of headphones each year.
Amy L. on January 31, 2011 at 5:04 pm

I’d love them for my iPhone! What a sweet giveaway…from a very pretty lady….
Mary Fran (cohmomto3) on January 31, 2011 at 5:12 pm

Oh, heck yes! You’re so pretty!
Sherry on January 31, 2011 at 5:15 pm

We always manage to lose those little ear piece sizer things.
Theresa on January 31, 2011 at 5:16 pm

Perfect for hubby who goes through ear buds like crazy.
Kassie on January 31, 2011 at 5:21 pm

I want them!
Denise on January 31, 2011 at 5:30 pm

Regular earbuds hurt my ears, and the headset doesn’t travel well. A new pr of teeny weeny ear buds would be great!
Sheila on January 31, 2011 at 5:31 pm

Definitely need a pair of these!!! Thanks!
Robyn on January 31, 2011 at 5:31 pm

I’m still trying to find the perfect earphones! Would love it if these did the trick!
Ani on January 31, 2011 at 5:36 pm

Ooooo….pretty
Robin on January 31, 2011 at 5:37 pm

I thought I was the only one that was earbud challenged. Thanks! By the way I di have green eyes.
Corey Bishop on January 31, 2011 at 5:37 pm

That sounds pretty Pretty!
krista on January 31, 2011 at 5:40 pm

Hubby needs those!
Connor on January 31, 2011 at 5:42 pm

all ear buds fall out of my ears, maybe these won’t?
dma on January 31, 2011 at 5:45 pm

Pick me please!
Niki on January 31, 2011 at 5:47 pm

Lime green would be great with my hot pink iPhone case!

d on January 31, 2011 at 6:10 pm

My earbuds don’t stay in either, glad to know I’m not the only one. I’d love to win these…
Lexi on January 31, 2011 at 6:13 pm

Me, me, me!!!
Elizabeth on January 31, 2011 at 6:20 pm

JMH on January 31, 2011 at 7:12 pm

Jessica on January 31, 2011 at 7:17 pm

These would be great!
Katherine on January 31, 2011 at 7:26 pm

Oh yeah! These sound great. I always use wired headphones for music. And these sound really nice.
Thanks, Mir!
Sara on January 31, 2011 at 7:27 pm

My kids have sticky fingers and I would love to be able to listen to my ipod again!
Suzanne H on January 31, 2011 at 7:46 pm

My husband has the same problem as you – the ear buds always fall out of his ears and he hates them but we can’t seem to find a truly decent replacement!
Lauren on January 31, 2011 at 7:57 pm

Awesome!
Valarie on January 31, 2011 at 8:07 pm

I’m 84% of the way to a 100-pound weight loss, and since my iPod is my constant workout companion and, therefore, somewhat responsible for said weight loss, it deserves some new earbuds.
VirginiaMom on January 31, 2011 at 8:12 pm

my eyes ARE green!
blairzoo on January 31, 2011 at 8:13 pm

Green is great!
Sherri Hall on January 31, 2011 at 8:23 pm

Jessica on January 31, 2011 at 9:23 pm

I don’t know who would get these but my husband and I would fight over them!
Debra on January 31, 2011 at 9:27 pm

Have never had good luck with ear buds! Would love to give these a shot!
Kristi on January 31, 2011 at 9:29 pm

I would love these as I JUST got an iphone that I am borrowing from some wonderful friends until my contract with T-Mobile expires this summer and I can purchase a new one. You won’t believe this, but the phone is a very first generation iphone still working perfectly except for some pixel problems due to beer spilling all over it. I didn’t do it, my friends did.
PJ on January 31, 2011 at 9:37 pm

I thought it was my ears that they didn’t fit right!!! I would love to win these especially in green! Thanks for the chance.
Ann on January 31, 2011 at 9:44 pm

I’ve got weird ears too…I’ve tried too many pairs to count. The best were the $100 Bose, until they broke !! You’re pretty Mir !!!
Meredith Westmoreland on January 31, 2011 at 9:48 pm

apple earbuds are terrible! pick me! pick me!
Carmen on January 31, 2011 at 9:50 pm

MIR! MY eyes ARE green – which means I’m FATED to win these earbuds.

Also since I’ve purchased 745976 pairs of earbuds and right now, can find none.
Marilyn Othon on January 31, 2011 at 9:52 pm

Those would be totally wicked!

Dianne on February 1, 2011 at 7:39 am

Yay!
DawnA on February 1, 2011 at 7:54 am

A quest……for the perfect earbuds. Years and so far no success. Maybe just maybe this would be them.
Sue on February 1, 2011 at 8:01 am

Perfect for my husband!!!!
Candy on February 1, 2011 at 8:02 am

These would be great
jami on February 1, 2011 at 8:05 am

Hmm…. my ears are oddly-shaped too, I guess – or maybe just slippery when exercising? I can’t keep ’em in either. Thanks for the giveaway!
Jenny Singley on February 1, 2011 at 8:07 am

I also have weird ears and am always losing my ear buds. I would like a new pair.
Alison on February 1, 2011 at 9:05 am

I figured it must just be my ears too.
Mona on February 1, 2011 at 9:16 am

I would love these headphones!
Jennifer Morgan on February 1, 2011 at 9:29 am

Mine fall out of my ears, too. Apparently, Steve Jobs is the one with abnormal ears.
firelady on February 1, 2011 at 9:44 am

I need these!
AndreaG on February 1, 2011 at 9:49 am

Ooh, I’d love some. I just can’t figure out why Apple or BB won’t provide a more useful/comfortable pair with their product. Boneheads.
Jackie on February 1, 2011 at 10:14 am

Please be nice to me, random number generator.
Dustin on February 1, 2011 at 10:25 am

Shiny! A new pair would be great.

julie w on February 1, 2011 at 10:58 am

I too have unusual ear canals…can’t find a comfortable set of ear buds…maybe these would work!
sue on February 1, 2011 at 11:03 am

Granddaughter would love these…and think her Nana was WAY COOL!!!!
lizb on February 1, 2011 at 11:41 am

Would love to win these buds… I have a pair of silver ones but the green would go perfect with my green eyes! Thanks!
Grace on February 1, 2011 at 12:13 pm

My husband was just complaining about his ear buds! He’ll just have to learn to live with the lime green if I win!
S. Elder on February 1, 2011 at 12:29 pm

Very Nice!
djlott on February 1, 2011 at 12:33 pm

My 16yos should belong to an earbud/headphones-of-the-month-club! Needless to say, mine are usually missing… does lime green go with hazel eyes?
MamaChristy on February 1, 2011 at 1:21 pm

Fancy!
beth on February 1, 2011 at 2:00 pm

Me please! I love green!!!
Dianna on February 1, 2011 at 2:56 pm

Anyone who knows me knows that a pair of lime green earbuds is meant for me!
Suzy on February 1, 2011 at 4:09 pm

U love iFrogs – began going there when you posted a link to them about 2 years ago. And since one of my dog also loves them (as in, finds them tasty), an new, free pair would be fabulous.
nancee on February 1, 2011 at 6:16 pm

I don’t like sharing ear buds…seems well umm…unsanitary, especially with my teenage boys. I would love a lime green pair!
BKC on February 1, 2011 at 7:11 pm

Pick me! I gave my earphones to my daughter so I wouldn’t have to listen to Angelina Ballerina movies. That snarky little mouse drives me crazy.
divrchk on February 1, 2011 at 7:38 pm

These would be much appreciated in my house!
Melanie on February 1, 2011 at 8:00 pm

I think there is a gremlin that steals all my earbuds. I would love to win a pair, and maybe they will be gremlin-proof! thanks for another awesome giveaway!
Heidi on February 1, 2011 at 9:53 pm

Oh yeah, I’m so in!
Shei F. on February 1, 2011 at 11:42 pm

I must have oddly-shaped ears, too & would love to win these earbuds! Don’t have green eyes, but it’s my fave color! Thanks for all you do to save us big $$$!
Kelli on February 2, 2011 at 8:33 am

I would love these!!!
Robin on February 2, 2011 at 9:22 am

Definitely need these.
dee on February 2, 2011 at 9:35 am

Hi. I have weird ears as well. I think we should start our own club/facebook group/12-step program.

Now hear this, Plugz style
