Gear Diary chicBuds ARTS Series Combines Functionality with Trendy New Prints! photo

My daughter is about as big of a girly-girl as you can imagine.  Despite our efforts at gender-neutral parenting — giving her blocks and trucks and reading good progressive lit to her and encouraging her to watch “Kiki’s Delivery Service” rather than Disney princess movies, and so on — she loves pink and sparkly and dresses and all that kind of thing.  So as you may imagine, my first thought when I saw the above ear-buds was, “I bet Maggie would loooove those.”  (And indeed she immediately asked me to get them for her!)

chicBuds, the company known for such problem-solving products as retractable earphones and pocket speakers, has broken the traditional cord mold with the ARTS Series of flat, printed cords. They are the first ever to dream up the design and have managed to transform one of mp3 listeners’ most annoying problems into a distant memory–and of course they’re doing it with a style all their own. The cords are made from a slippery material that allows them to slide apart rather than cling together, and  keeps them from become knotted. Toss them into bags or purses and stop worrying about what will happen when it’s time to pull them out.

Not only are consumers getting a highly-functional product, but also a new way to express their style. The flat design makes it possible for chicBuds to print on the actual earbud cords, creating a fun outlet for showing off. AND THEY ARE THE FIRST COMPANY TO EVER ACHIEVE THE TASK OF PRINTING ON FLAT CORDS SUCCESSFULLY!  Choose from exotic Zebra or Pink Leopard, and say goodbye to the boring audio blues.

chicBuds’ ARTS Series cords are truly pioneers when it comes to ease of use. Imagine a world with no more tiny cylinder cords twisting and sticking together, no more grumpy outbursts when it takes five minutes to undo the kinks, and best of all, no more boring cords clashing with the day’s ensemble. Thanks to their slim physique, those cravings for a way to just plug-in and go are being fulfilled at last.

Doug is a nerd from way back, falling for a Commodore PET at the age of 15, and never looking back. Riding the nerd wave, he got a Computer Science degree and entered the tech industry at a young age, deciding after a year and a half of front-line phone technical support that he should try something, *anything* else. He settled on technical writing, and has been cranking out documentation for companies like Unisys, SGI, Cisco, Juniper, and many others ever since. He is nothing short of ecstatic to be working for H-P from his home base in Austin.
