Music and multi-media has become an integral part of our lives. Look around some time and I'm sure you'll see many people out around you with a set of headphones on, jacked in, listening to music. If you look closely though at a lot of those people you'll notice that they're using the stock ear buds that came with the player they're using, and I guess they're happy with that. Why would you spend hundreds of dollars on a music player and hundreds if not thousands more on your music only to listen to it through an inferior stock set of ear buds. I don't know about you but I can't do it, I gave the stock ear buds a try on my Zune, iPod and Sansa but after a few minutes they went back in the box as I just couldn't stand the uninspiring sound from them.

Today for review I've got a very high quality set of ear buds from a relatively new audio company called Thinksound. The ear buds or headphones are just called Rain, and what really sets them apart is not only the relatively low price but the fact that they're made of wood. Look around, I can guarantee that when you see a set of ear buds or headphones they're made of either plastic or metal, not wood. A good set of speakers for your home are made of wood, there's a reason for that, wood makes things sound better. Read on to learn more about a very good sounding and constructed set of ear buds...
