Lobie™+Earbud Equals Unsurpassed Comfort

Lobies can be called earbud holders, earbud clips or earbud loops. But, what Lobies do is offer a supplemental more comfortable way of wearing earbuds. You now have the option to wear earbuds without inserting them into your ear canals, which may lead to pain. Earbuds float on an acoustic cushion of air to surround and envelop you in music. Lobies feel so natural you will likely forget you are wearing them.

The Patent Pending Lobie™+Earbud combination results in an ultra comfortable natural listening experience. Lobie™ is the first of a kind in PASGEAR™ (Passive Acoustic Support) technology.

PASGEAR™ products like Lobie™ are designed to give you freedom to dance, run, cycle or just relax and fully enjoy any listening experience in comfort. Customers and reviewers have said that you can easily wear Lobies all day long because you may hardly feel them. However, take great care to listen at safe levels and for no longer than is recommended. Refer to safe listening for safety information resources.

Lobie™ gives you a Hearing Aid Compatible Headset

Read what one Lobie customer recently said about using Lobie with hearing aids.

"I have been looking for YEARS for headphones or anything that were compatible with my hearing aids, and inexpensive Lobies made the iPod earbuds into exactly what I needed all along. I've used Lobies in the car as well, and they hold the earbuds so perfectly against my hearing aids that the music comes through loud and clear. I really am one of your biggest fans."

Headphone Comparison

The majority of competing headphones employ spring biasing or pinching type features to secure itself to your ear; secure but not comfortable. In ear or canal phones while excellent at sound isolation, disconnect you from your surroundings, which can be unsafe especially when cycling. Or, they isolate you from your friends. Many headphone products are quite expensive and are fairly easily damaged.
