What It Is: Earphones that deliver the power and intimacy of those iPod earbuds without damaging your ears.

Who It’s For: Anybody who wants to enjoy music at maximum volume without going deaf.

Why It’s Worthy: AirDrives use something called InAir technology, a patented system that places the speaker on the outside of the ear, which allows for dynamic sound quality while keeping the pressure on the inner ear low. Also, there’s a variation available for the iPhone that seamless transitions into phone calls — a boon for iPhone addicts.

Our Only Complaint: Depending on what your tastes are, you may not like the fact that AirDrives allow for a lot more outside sound to infiltrate (though it will probably keep you from being hit by a bus).

Cost/Where to Get It: $79.99; AirDrives (Available now)
