Constructed from recycled materials, this small package includes the headphones, warranty information, and a cotton carrying pouch (sewn from renewable sources), which contains a cord clip and 3 different sized silicone eartips. The eartips come in XS, S, M, and L sizes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Design: <\/strong><br \/>\n Wooden housing is a real classy touch on earbuds. It comes in Black Chocolate and Silver Cherry finishes [Black Chocolate pictured]. The wood housing serves its function by providing more resonance than buds in a similar price range. The cable is appropriately sized at 50 inches, and is PVC-free. It feels a bit thicker than regular headphone cables, and is also \u201ctangle resistant\u201d. While tangling is always likely to occur with any cable, it does seem to be easier to straighten out then many other headphone cables out there. The gold-plated straight plug is well reinforced with a thick casing. The silicone eartips are black with the Black Chocolate model, and a white with Silver Cherry finish. They are also quite comfortable.<br \/>\n <strong><br \/>\n Performance and Audio\/music quality:<\/strong><br \/>\n Finding the right eartip fit is important. The difference between a good seal and the perfect seal was quite large. With the perfect seal, music sounded very natural on the Thunder. As previously mentioned, the wood offers more resonance than you would notice from metal or plastic earbuds. If you don\u2019t think you have the ear for resonance, you would very likely\u00a0 be able to hear the difference when listening to a song with acoustic guitar (try Eric Clapton\u2019s acoustic version of \u2018Layla\u2019). The bass is deep and the highs and mids are at the right level. The passive noise cancellation will mask out a lot of background noise and ambient sound, including most chatter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion: <\/strong><br \/>\n <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/thinksound.com\/thunder.html\"  >Thinksound Thunder<\/a><\/strong> retails for $74.99, but can be found for <strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B002VKHTVK\/?tag=chipchick-20\"  >$44.99 online (Amazon)<\/a><\/strong>. For just under $45 these earbuds are well worth the audio quality they provide, not to mention the small part you\u2019d be playing in maintaining environmentally friendly. From audio quality alone they are a close competitor to many of the $100 earbuds we listen to. These eco-friendly earbuds will stay comfortable sitting in your ears for hours. They also come with a six month limited warrantee.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The Good:<\/strong><\/em> Great bass, great resonance, looks good, feels good, and great price!<br \/>\n <em><strong>The Bad: <\/strong><\/em>They may expose sub-par MP3 bitrates like 128kbps.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/-GL5lSkMLAZrCV6MFgwsnO1kxX0\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/-GL5lSkMLAZrCV6MFgwsnO1kxX0\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/-GL5lSkMLAZrCV6MFgwsnO1kxX0\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/-GL5lSkMLAZrCV6MFgwsnO1kxX0\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/ChipChick?a=FD1uotdLWcg:Fl_c0E2Lqbc:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/ChipChick?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/ChipChick?a=FD1uotdLWcg:Fl_c0E2Lqbc:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/ChipChick?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/ChipChick?a=FD1uotdLWcg:Fl_c0E2Lqbc:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/ChipChick?i=FD1uotdLWcg:Fl_c0E2Lqbc:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/ChipChick?a=FD1uotdLWcg:Fl_c0E2Lqbc:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/ChipChick?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/ChipChick?a=FD1uotdLWcg:Fl_c0E2Lqbc:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/ChipChick?i=FD1uotdLWcg:Fl_c0E2Lqbc:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/ChipChick?a=FD1uotdLWcg:Fl_c0E2Lqbc:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/ChipChick?i=FD1uotdLWcg:Fl_c0E2Lqbc:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/ChipChick?a=FD1uotdLWcg:Fl_c0E2Lqbc:YwkR-u9nhCs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/ChipChick?d=YwkR-u9nhCs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/ChipChick\/~4\/FD1uotdLWcg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thinksound is a company that began with the sole intention of offering incredible sounding headphones with the smallest eco-footprint possible.
