I was looking for a Bluetooth Stereo In-Ear Headphones for my iPhone 3GS. But, with the Thanksgiving Black Friday deals just around teh corner, I didn’t want to spend the prices they are at right now.
So, I looked for a good pair of In-ear headphones with mic and found Griffin TuneBuds.
I found Griffin TuneBuds Mobile with Mic for iPhone 3G, 3G S (Black) for an awesome price of < $20 in Amazon.com.

My thoughts
For less than $20, I think this is a great buy. If you are looking for an In-ear headphones because the Apple headphones won’t fit, you won’t be disappointed with this pair.
It comes with 3 different sized ear buds, a carrying case. The sound quality is on par with Apple’s headphones but I am no audiophile. I certainly wasn’t disappointed with the sound quality and in fact I have to keep the volume down at work as I couldn’t hear my phone ring with these on at the same volume levels I used my previous headphones.
I like the cable material as it keeps the wires from tangling. It has a cloth-like texture and some reviewers have said that it is the downside to it too as it broke down quickly for some. But it looks fine to me and I will update this post if it breaks for me after some use.
Another silver lining is that Griffin’s customer support is awesome (@Griffintech) and I am confident that they will replace these buds if they break unusually early.
