REVIEW: Woodbuds

When Wife told me we had been asked to review a pair of wooden headphones, I was a tad skeptical. Seriously, bonkers I thought. But yes, Woodbuds are indeed really rather spiffing in-ear headphones made out of responsibly sourced walnut, which is, believe it or not, wood. Not only have the manufacturers pledged to plant a new tree with the Woodland Trust for every 100 pairs of headphones they sell, they've also joined the 1% For The Planet alliance, which encourages businesses around the world to commit at least 1% of their profits to approved environmental organisations. Not even the Green Party's Green credentials stretch that far.

Available in a simple range of 6 colours, these little beauts pack a delightful sonic punch. They come with a selection of very comfortable ear-tips so you can find the right fit for your sound holes. These help to isolate noise so that you can have your music nice and loud without scowls from the elderly gentleman sat across from you on the bus.
The very high quality flat cable means that you don't get the usual tangled mess when you pull your headphones out of your pocket which, let's face it, is always a plus. The only thing missing is a volume control and hands free microphone, although you can still take calls using your phones own mic.

These are basically a banging little set of headphones. I have a fairly eclectic music collection and these things really do not miss a single frequency. I honestly didn't think that the sound quality would be this good, especially at a very affordable £25 a pop, but they're just as good as Senheisers and easily better than the standard Whites  that came with my iPhone. I think these will especially appeal to the Conscientious Consumer who, like me, secretly feels  guilty every time they recharge their phone.

So there you have it. Wooden earphones. Not nearly as bonkers as i originally thought. Get yours at www.woodbuds.com
