Helium Digital Releases BoomBuds
Posted by Chris Leckness on 01/8/08
Helium Digital, a Canadian company specializing in trend forward accessories for digital devices, has announced the launch of their new BoomBuds In-Ear Headphones.
The HD-330 BoomBuds are lightweight, in-ear headphones designed to bring the bass in your music to life. The noise isolating angled design of the earbuds allows them to rest comfortably and securely within your ear, blocking out noise that may interfere with a comfortable listening environment
The HD-340 BoomBuds for Mobile are designed for use with combination audio and mobile phone devices, such as the Apple iPhone®. They have the same great audio features of the HD-330, with the addition of an inline microphone/ answer module that will allow you to take your calls directly from the headphones, ensuring you are in touch even while listening to your music.
Both models come with 2 different sizes of silicon inserts to ensure your headphones fit comfortably and securely. The rubberized cable will keep your wires tangle-free, and help to prevent the tugging and pulling of wires that is all too familiar to users of traditional wired headphones. The slim 3.5mm audio jack is designed for use with a variety of audio devices, including Apple's iPhone®, eliminating the need for special adapters in order to get your headphones to fit your device.
The HD-330 BoomBuds In-Ear Headphones have a suggested retail price of $19.99 (CAD). The HD-340 BoomBuds for Mobile have a suggested retail price of $24.99 (CAD). Both models are available for purchase direct from the Helium Digital website starting today.
Introductory offer! –For a limited time only, receive FREE EXPEDITED SHIPPING when purchasing either model direct from the Helium Digital web site. The free shipping offer is limit 1 per customer, and shipping costs will automatically be removed at checkout.

looks nice, speaking of canada, I turns out they aren’t getting the market place at launch, but "later in 2008"
I may have to check these out. They are only $20. If I do I will let everyone know how they are. Never heard of Helium Digital so I will have to do some research on them first.
The fact that they are only 20$ kind of makes me skeptical. But they have a very similar design to the Bose in-ears. Regardless, I’m extremely happy with my Zune Premium in-ears. They are noise-cancelling, with great bass and wonderful sound.
FatalFlaw: I was thinking the same thing. That is why I am wanting to do some research on them first. I love my premium earbuds as well. I’m just a dork when it comes to new tech stuff.
I’d be a little skeptical about them too, but if I really wanted to try something new I would say $20 is worth a gamble. They have some pretty neat stuff on there website.
For $20 I thought I’d be a sport.
I’ll let you know what I think when they arrive.
never heard of that company,but given the low price i can tell for sure i’m buying those earphones.It says that not only they’ll plug into my zune but they’ll plug into my iphone as well so yeah…as soon as i get them and give them a try i’ll post my experience
Mine just arrived.
For free shipping, that sure was fast!
Packaging is a simple plastic baggie and no documentation was included.
I got the non-phone version and they come with one set of silicone inserts installed and a spare set of smaller ones.
With other brands I usually use the mediums and these feel a little big so I might try the smalls.
Sound is good with a decent amount of bass for me but I don’t usually like that much bass.
One thing I noticed right away is that the buds themselves are HEAVY!
I don’t know if it’s the type of drivers used or just the earbud casing itself but they’re easily the heaviest buds I’ve tried.
I’ve been wearing the Zune Premiums and before that I was using JVC AirCushions and those are both pretty light but going all the way back to my AIWAs and SONYs I don’t remember any buds this heavy.
The cable is shorter to the left bud than the right so the main cable hangs to your side rather than under your chin, which might be a plus to some people.
The connector is straight (not a right-angle) and it’s the newer narrow type that matches the Zunes.
For $20 it looks like a decent value and all-in-all they remind me very much of the Philips HE-591s which retail for a little more than $20 and don’t have the newer narrow straight-in connector.
well they look worth it. has anyone used them in an iphone? cause i would buy them for that and my ipod. sorry i dont have a zune yet. im in the contest though!
Hey,
Can anyone who has bought these please let me know if you think these earphones are good for use while running? They are listed as “in-ear”, but I’m not sure if they go “in” enough so that the earbuds won’t fall out while running. Can you please comment on that?
Thanks.
I don’t run but they are your standard “in-ear” earbuds.
They don’t squish and then expand inside the ear canal like JVC Marshmallows and they’re not anatomically molded like some of the Shures but if you’ve tried any of your typical silicone tipped earbuds from Microsoft, Creative, JVC, Sony, etc. then you’ll know what these are like.
I thought that the weight would make them uncomfortable but they’ve turned out to be some of the most comfortable buds that I’ve tried.
Not sure though if the weight while running would help then stay in or help them fall out.
