It seems like every new phone that hits the market has the capability to play music today. Along with the capability to play music on a phone comes a requisite headphone jack to allow for private listening. There is a glut of earphones and headphones on the market for consumers to choose from and they all have the same basic design.

Ultimate Ears has announced a new set of earphones that use a new design not previously available. The Super.Fi 5 and Super.Fi 5vi earphones use a new top-firing design. According to the maker of the headphones the top-firing design allows the earphones to be placed into a more compact and ergonomic design making them more comfortable.

Some of you are concerned parents. Concerned about gadgets. No, I kid. And speaking of kids, these Ultimate Ears Loud Enough Earphones are child friendly and designed to protect their delicate eardrums. Which is pretty important as eardrums can be permanently damaged due to loud music. And kids especially like it loud.

That’s why Ultimate Ears has released the Loud Enough Earphones in blueberry, mint, or plum, all with matching cases. A pair will cost you $40 rather then costing your kid premature deafness. No matter what the volume dial says, these earphones keep it all soft.
