Auria Exceed Earphone Review & Giveaway

A few weeks ago I was sent some new sport earphones to try out.

auria2

auria

auria4

They are made by Auria and the model is Exceed. These earphones have an XFit System that has you insert the phones in your ear and them rotate them for a snug and proper fit. Auria promises that the earphones:

  • Will stay in place comfortably
  • Will enable users to hear ambient sounds around them while they enjoy their music (if you don’t know what “ambient sounds” are, don’t feel bad, neither did I. They’re just environmental noises like birds chirping or cars about to hit you).
  • Will provide excellent audio
  • Will allow users to interface with the iPods, MP3 players and smartphones.

Truth be told, when I first put these in my ear hole (love that term), they felt like they might fall out. I brought my “other” plugs on my run just in case. But, guess what? Not only did they not fall out, they didn’t move at all during my run and I never had to adjust them.

So…I wore them during the Boston Marathon. I think a marathon is a pretty true test of something. If it’s going to break down or get on your nerves, it’ll probably be at some point during 26.2 miles. This is mile 20 and I am about to cry because I just found my family. That’s why the earphones are out.

Here is a zoom on the earphones and my neck, which obviously aged quite a bit during those 20 miles.

P1090630

Verdict: the earphones worked very well.  I know this because I never noticed they were falling out or getting on my nerves. Which was good because I had other things to worry about like throwing away underwear and getting to the damn finish line in one piece.

They also stay in place when it is incredibly windy outside. I’ve now used them on all runs since Boston. I think they deliver what they promise.

Sound quality is good. Fit is comfy and snug. Environmental noises can be heard at a minimum, which technically makes these earphones a bit safer than your ordinary pair. I also love that you can personalize these with click-on additions like:

They retail for $33.99 and come with

  1. Two sets of swappable Personalizers: a color-matched, painted set and a hand-picked graphical set.
  2. A super-soft, black mesh carrying case to hold most smartphones (including iPhone 4/3G/3GS and Blackberry models), Exceed earphones and accessories.

Want a pair? Auria would like to give away one pair to a reader.

  1. I have to tell you, they sent me a pair of these and I couldn't get them to stay in my ears!(aka mamaraunsbarefoot)

  2. I NEED to try these because I have tried every single bud out there and not one of them has stayed in my tiny ears for more than 30 steps.

    ReplyDelete
  3. need them b/c my 3 year old took my old ones!

    ReplyDelete
  4. I need to try these because I am running my first half marathon and can't find a single pair that works when the blood starts rushing and the sweat starts gushing

    ReplyDelete
  11. I need them because I have almost finished couch25k and am ready to start training longer runs!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  13. I need a new pair because mine just won't stay in my ears where they belong..

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  15. Blogger ate my comment...argh...

    I NEED NEED NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED these headphones. My hook over the ear headphones LITERALLY just crapped out on me. Now all I have are these crappy ear buds that don't stay put.

    I liked and mentioned you on FB on Auria's fan page.

    Fave song to run to - "Remember the Name" by Fort Minor. It was supposed to be dedicated to a friend after him and I ran opposing half marathons a couple weeks ago and I beat him, but I didn't freaking beat him...the song is still super motivational though.

    ANNNNNNNNNNNNND...Im going to share this on my FB Page NOW!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Right here, Right now from fatboy slim:)

    ReplyDelete
  17. I follow you (more like stalk) and I desperately need these because I'm so tired of having to wear the ones that go all the way around me ear! Such a hassle - you have to pull and tweak your ear to get them to fit just right! Right now, my favorite song is This Is It - it's a Christian song with an amazing run beat. I'd love it to play as I cross the finish line but I never can seem to master that! Also, I tweeted and liked them on FB.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Current song - Adele "Rolling in the Deep"

    ReplyDelete
  19. I need these earphones because I am always knocking my ipod ones out. Tunes are the only way I can make it through my indoor training, which seems to be all I am doing this spring.

    ReplyDelete
  20. My fav running song that got me my BQ is Eminem's Lose Yourself. I can't wait to re-BQ in Detroit this fall.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I NEED these new headphones because my current ones block out all sounds including when my friends come up in behind me in their cars and lay on the horn to try to scare me. On second thought, maybe it's good that I can't hear anything!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Liked Auria on FB and told them you sent me!

    ReplyDelete
  23. "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO! Love that song right now!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Posted the giveaway on my Twitter!

  25. Someone in my family have taken mine earphones. Of course this is probably because I buy myself nice earphones and give them cheap ones. Cheap Target ones are a perfect stocking stuffer but one of those things that no one really wants because well, they're cheap. Unfortunately they noticed that mine were better and somehow found my hiding spot for mine. Of course my hiding spot isn't really a hiding spot, just on the inside pocket of my car door. You would think this is a safe spot because all of the people in the family have their own cars so why would they be driving mine? Well, we go back to being cheap again. My car gets borrowed when they are too cheap to buy their own gas. So, when I get in my car to head out for a run, not only do I now have no earphones, but I now have no gas. Do I let this stop me from going? Well, quite often yes, but if I had new head phones? I would run way more often. I would keep these new headphones in my other well hidden spot where no one hardly ever goes. My husband wishes that i would stop hiding stuff down my pants, but like I said, no one is hardly ever down there.....haha

  26. 1) I TOTALLY follow your blog.

    2) AWOLNATION, "Sail" is the song of choice. It seems slow, but it has a long rhythm and for some reason makes me feel less crazy.

    3) Have you considered that the world is supposed to end on the 21st and participants of this contest might not get a chance to use them? I may be out looting to get a sweet stereo if the world ends, so I might miss the results...

    ReplyDelete
  27. I need new headphones because the ones that wrap around my ears give me vicious headaches and I have a low tolerance for the load grunters next to me on the gym treadmill.

    I LIKED them on facebook, and I already follow you!

    Giving this giveaway a shout out on my blog...NOW.

    And my fav song to run to right now is Adele's Rolling in the Deep.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Ha ha, that should say LOUD not load. Changes what they are doing on that treadmill, ha ha.

    ReplyDelete
  29. i run to any "booty music" available.

    ReplyDelete
  30. and i for sure need these headphones because the ones that apple ships with iPods... awful.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Right now my fave song is Born This Way.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I need these because I have some bizarre ability to kill earbuds...if I were I superhero, I would be the Earbud Zapper...maybe it's because I buy cheap ones...anyway, my newest pair (3 weeks old) crapped out on me on my run this morning...

    ReplyDelete
  33. I am always messing with my earphones, I just don't have good ones that stay in my ears!

    ReplyDelete
  34. My last pair of earbuds fell apart in my backpack and the pair I bought to replace them are soooooooo quiet, so I'm definitely in the market for a new pair that will stay in my ears.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Also I am a follower of your blog.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I am loving Dog Days are Over by Florence + The Machine!

    ReplyDelete
  37. And my favorite song to run to right now is "Requiem for a Dying Song" by Flogging Molly, as it's fast and bouncy.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I need them because we ran out of Q-tips yesterday

    ReplyDelete
  39. liked them on facebook and said you sent me

    ReplyDelete
  40. I've been putting off buying new headphones even though currently only one earbud works on my current pair. Yes, I'm going to go deaf in one ear and not the other. At least this way I can hear ambient noise?

    Regardless, I need a new pair. A pair that would stay in my petite and strangely shaped earholes.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I followed your blog. It's pretty good. It's about hot chicks that run right? I like blogs like that. And not a lot about feminine hygiene products - thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Running? What's that? I could use them to bike, but I don't run much these days chica!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Mentioned on my blog tab about your giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Okay, I have Liked and Commented on Facebook! Plus, I'm a follower of your blog. Have been for awhile, though, so I don't know if that counts.

    ReplyDelete
  45. your on my contest page on my blog ... but nobody read that anymore so ... sorry.

    ReplyDelete
  46. BTW if I should run, please send the prize to Jill.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I love your blog, read it every day. It gives me the inspiration to get my butt out of my desk chair and go run after work. I could really use new earphones. Mine came with my ancient iPod and all the rubber is coming of the edge, not very comfy. I liked the Auria page and mentioned you sent me on Facebook. I change up my running music all the time, but right now I'm running to Owl City. Thanks for the motivating and entertaining (funny) blog!

    ReplyDelete
  48. I would love to win these. I am currently using the original headphones that came with my ipod and they drive me crazy. My husband's just stopped working so I can't even borrow his!

    ReplyDelete
  49. My current favorite song is probably "More" by Usher.

    Although, there are a lot of good songs out right now so it's hard to choose.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I am a fan of Auria on FB and posted on their page.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Florence and the Machine...Dog Days...is the song the keeps me going

    ReplyDelete
  52. I need them because I'm sure if I had a nice pair I would 1) never leave them at home before a race and 2) they would stay in my ears and not annoy the crap out of me during a half when I'm trying to bust a move.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Pinks F*ckin Perfect is my best running song right now. OR Her Raise your Glass! Awesome songs.

    ReplyDelete
  54. i am loving Tonight Tonight by Hot Chelle Rae

    ReplyDelete
  55. I follow you through the poo AND pussy posse to boston and beyond!

  57. Because my 4 year old high jacks EVERY pair that I get!!!! and my newest pair that was supposed to have special no tangle feature is about the be amputated by the sheath that is said to protect it!

    ReplyDelete
  58. I follow :)
    And I neeeeeed these because I just took up running and realize this is a huge issue! I get so frustrated having to continually reach up to press in and adjust my earbuds!
    And my current favorite song to trot to is anything by Kings Of Leon, I'm on a kick!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Ilene M. sent me your link! I would absolutely love to have these earbud earphones (need is all relative, right?). However I haven't found any earphones that are comfortable to wear. I have been jogging and running 5Ks for the last 3 years. I took a hiatus for a while because I was involved in a pretty bad car accident. But now I'm back to jogging and gearing up for the Bolder Boulder. I have liked you and Auria on FB and I signed up for the blog (let the daily wisdom start coming in). As of now, the best songs I have found are the ones with the best beat. Sometimes I don't even notice the words, just the beat.

    ReplyDelete
  60. 1) I need headphones that don't fall out everytime I move my ever-loving arm.

    2) I listen to the playlist I put together for my very first run (which was just on Mother's Day)

    3) I don't know how to follow people. I'm just special like that.

    4) Does the contest end May 21st or Sunday...'cause they're not the same day. Can I get a bonus entry for being annoying and pointing that out?

    ReplyDelete
  61. Ok, so selecting anonymous was a mistake. I'm Anonymous.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I NEED these headphones because mine start to fall out as soon as I get sweaty! Most of my runs are on the treadmill and I get sweaty around 1/2 a mile and have to mess with them the entire time!

    ReplyDelete
  63. I like Auria on FB and told them that you sent me!

    ReplyDelete
  64. My favorite song at the moment is either Firework by Kety Perry, "Dani California" from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers or No love by Eminem

    ReplyDelete
  65. I posted this on FB, punkin4675

    ReplyDelete
  67. I really need ear buds because I somehow lost mine. Don't know how, but I've been music-less for two weeks!!

    ReplyDelete
  68. I need a new set of earphones because the only ones I have found that stay in and allow me to hear ambient noises are these clip-over-the-ear types. They make me look like Princess Leia and are completely obvious in race pictures.

    ReplyDelete
  69. My favorite tune right now is Adele's "Running in the Deep." If I could marry a voice I would leave my husband tonight to get at that.

    ReplyDelete
  70. I need them because mine fall out every 7 minutes and by the end of a run are turned up all the way, playing music while hanging around my neck! I have yet to find a set that works for me.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I need the Auria headphones because my wrap-around sport headphones are crap and they are too big for ears, making them sore, and making me grouchy

    ReplyDelete
  72. favorite song to run to is Outkast - Bombs Over Baghdad.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I need these because my headphones have an awkward bar that goes behind my neck.

    ReplyDelete
  74. I liked them on FB and told them you sent me.

    ReplyDelete
  75. My favorite running song (this week) is I Just Got Back from Hell by Gary Allen

  77. Lately I've been listening to podrunner. When I wasn't, I was on a bfmv kick.

    ReplyDelete
  78. My current set of headphones has a loose connection so I really really really need a new pair.

    ReplyDelete
  79. SexyBack by Justin Timberlake. It has the perfect beat for my long slow runs.

    ReplyDelete
  80. I also need them because they are pink.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I'd like to win so that I can join the cool kids and run with music (by borrowing my children's MP3s since I don't even own one). And I haven't run with music because I like to hear oncoming traffic, which has almost taken me out dozens of times just in my neighborhood.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I'd be at the mercy of my kids' playlist, heavy on Pink, Nickelback (don't judge), and Jimmy Buffet. But I'd probably convince them to add Queen's "Fat Bottom Girls."

    ReplyDelete
  83. I'm a follower. I'd follow you anywhere, except into the private domain to pop a squat.

    ReplyDelete
  84. I need these earphones because mine fall out of my ears and make a strange, crunchy noise. I especially like listening to angry girl music while I run- Ani Difranco, Pink, Amy Ray- and hippie music. It's a great combination.

    ReplyDelete
  85. LOVE some new buds! I bought a pair of expensive ones (not sure where they are now) so I'm forced to use the ones that came with my iPod.

    ReplyDelete
  86. I'm a follower.
    Best running song for me is "Dog Days are Over" by Florence and the Machine.
    I tweeted about the give away.

    I need these headphones just because. One can never have TOO many sets of headphones...

    ReplyDelete
  87. They sound nice, but I *heart* my yurbuds and would highly recommend them. Maybe you can get a pair to review and do a comparison.

    ReplyDelete
  88. I need new headphones because ... I never run and listen to music because headphones are generally uncomfortable, and I am afraid to not hear cars, etc, when I run outside. This would be a new chance to give music a chance.

    ReplyDelete
  89. I love the song Raise Your Glass, and Perfect!

    ReplyDelete
  90. I need these earphones because my Skullcandy ones just conked out on one side.

    I "liked" Auria on Facebook!

    I love to run to about anything by the Black Eyed Peas. Catchy beats that keep me going...

    I follow your blog on my G-reader!

    I tweeted about the giveaway! :)

    ReplyDelete
  91. I follow your blog!!!

    ReplyDelete
  92. I had a really nice pair of ear buds but the wire broke on them and I am currently using a back up pair that make my ears hurt!!!

    ReplyDelete
  93. I liked Auria on FB!!

    ReplyDelete
  94. Hmmm favorite song to run to currently would be Shots by LMFAO

    ReplyDelete
  95. I need these because I would love to run with music but haven't found a pair of headphones that don't fall out of my ears or make them hurt!

    ReplyDelete
  96. My favorite song to run to varies a lot, but most recently it was "All That She Wants" by Ace of Base - total throwback.

    I read your blog every day (or as often as you update it), and went back and read all your old posts too!

    ReplyDelete
  97. I need them because I am still struggling through my runs with crappy ipod earphones, and have not been able to buy an awesome new pair yet!

    ReplyDelete
  98. I could really use a pair that would not be constantly falling out of my ears. Also, mine not only fall out, but only one bud works--at least that I can tell when it actually does stay put.

    ReplyDelete
  99. I would like a pair because mine are hurting me
    I bought a different kind and they fall all the time

    ReplyDelete
  100. My favorite song to run to (and it has been since I started running!) is "I Found A Way" by Alkaline Trio.

    ReplyDelete
  101. I like them on FB and I told them you sent me

  102. song: hit the ground running by Keith Urban

  103. I blogged about your giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  104. I need to win a pair of these Auria earphones! Why? Because the pair that came with the iPod are essentially done for and don't stay in my ears even when sitting peaceably reading. The pair that came with the iPhone are pretty good, but they live in a bag that goes to work every day, so I can listen to music while I work, and not disturb the other person I share space with. The only short run I tried with the earphones wasn't much fun. I think my ear canals were flexing and bouncing and pretty soon the buds came out. Something that really works would be great!

    ReplyDelete
  105. I need these because I swear I have tried every earbud out there and can't find anything I like! I'm training for my first half and will not make it through without music!!!

    ReplyDelete
  106. I linked you on my blog's sidebar.

    ReplyDelete
  107. I need these epic headphones because my current pair don't stay in very well. Plus, they [allegedly] used to be white, but have since turned to some sort of human sweat/epithelial/grunge/yellow-beige tone. It ain't pretty.

    ReplyDelete
  108. I liked their Facebook page and told them you sent me!!

    ReplyDelete
  109. I also liked their facebook page with my blog's facebook. :)

    ReplyDelete
  110. I need these because I am literally on my 8th pair of head phones and these suck just as much as the last one. Can you tell I'm bitter? But these Auria earphone sound awesome and I may have to get them even if I don't win the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  111. I already follow you, was 1001 !! How's that for a great number? I note of course, that following you isn't a particularly elite club, since now you have 1584 followers!!! Holy Crap! This is getting beyond a fan club, and getting into contention for taking over the world territory. I don't think I know of another fitness blog that has more followers. You've got Steve in a Speedo whipped. Even EMZ and her amazing abs are training in your (poopy) wake. So that's two entries now.

    ReplyDelete
  112. I need a new pair because I am tired of mine falling out (or getting yanked out by my arms)!!

    ReplyDelete
  113. And of course I follow your super awesome kick ass blog.

    ReplyDelete
  114. My favorite song to run by, right now, is My Body by Young the Giant!!

    ReplyDelete
  115. 1. I really need a pair of earphones! I've gone through three this year and can't afford to buy more! It might have something to do with the buckets of sweat I release that maybe screw up the wiring?
    2. Currently love to listen to Florence & The Machine's "Dog Days Are Over"
    3. I tweeted about you!

    ReplyDelete
  116. I also noted this contest on my blog. Which is a third entry. In fact, there should be a FOURTH entry, because you're listed on my blog roll, and you post so often that you are usually in the top ten. I know of a half a dozen people that read your blog now since they saw it on my blogroll. I deeply suspect that now they have discovered you, they have stopped reading me. Which just proves what an awesome blogger you are. Really, all the readers I've fed to you should be worth a pair of earphones, don't you think?

    ReplyDelete
  117. Favorite songs to run to (as of right now): Paper Planes by M.I.A., Crazy Train, Pour Some Sugar on Me (because nothing makes me run better than a song that makes me feel like a stripper), Rock That Body by the Black Eyed Peas, and anything by Eminem with a ton of f-bombs so I can pretend like I'm super hardcore and tough.

    ReplyDelete
  118. I liked Auria on FB and told them you sent me!!

    ReplyDelete
  119. Lastly, my fave song to work out to recently is anything by Cheap Trick. Hello There Ladies and Gentlemen! Or Whoda King? Or the long lead up to Ain't that a Shame on Live in Budokan.

    ReplyDelete
  120. I need them because i run 100 miles a week and need earbuds that stay in in any weather

    ReplyDelete
  121. I dont usually listen to music, i listen to podcasts my new fav is marathon talk, they are out of the uk

    ReplyDelete
  122. I need the earphones to drown out the sound of the baby crying without being a completely negligent parent.

    ReplyDelete
  123. I so need these - every pair I have tried thus far either fall out, hurt after 20 minutes, or have such loud microphonics that I can't stand it.

    ReplyDelete
  124. My favorite song to run to is "when I grow up" by PussyCat Dolls.

    ReplyDelete
  125. And my favorite song right now? Believe it or not, "The Incredits" from Disney/Pixar. Makes me believe I'm supermom.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Totally need these because I'm on my 5th pair of earphones and have yet to find a pair that will actually stay in my ears...
    maybe I have weird shaped ears or something, I don't know:/

    ReplyDelete
  127. My daughter took my earphones!

    ReplyDelete
  128. I just liked Auria on FB

    ReplyDelete
  129. I need these earphones because my cat ate mine. Yes that's what I said, no joking around here, that cat is lucky he is still living after I saw how he made them lunch. My cat likes to eat all non-edible things, cardboard, styrofoam, oh and he loves plastic, all things plastic, so he chewed a nice hole right through my old iPod earphones.

    ReplyDelete
  130. My current favorite running song is All of the Lights by Kanye West with Rihanna

    ReplyDelete
  131. I need these becuase my current headphones blow. They fall out all.the.time.

    ReplyDelete
  132. I am loving Rolling in the Dee by Adele these days..the remix version.

    ReplyDelete
  133. I follow your blog

    ReplyDelete
  134. I need these earbuds because I have abnormally small ears, and I constantly have to adjust on my runs

    ReplyDelete
  135. Favorite song to run to: Dog Days Are Over by Florence and the Machine

    ReplyDelete
  136. I need these because regular ear buds do not stay in my tiny ears. I tried these on at a recent marathon expo. I liked them, very comfortable, but I wanted to talk to someone who had actually used them before buying. I have spent a lot of money on headphones that don't work. I follow you.

    ReplyDelete
  137. I need these! I have tried to win these headphones on multiple sights but no luck so far. Hope this is the winning entry.

    ReplyDelete
  138. Forgot to say that I "liked" their facebook page and I of course follow your blog. :)

    ReplyDelete
  139. I need these headphones because I need some that I can rely on that will stay in my ear and not get ruined with all my sweat!

    ReplyDelete
  140. commented on Auria's facebook page!

    ReplyDelete
  141. song I am listening to these days: Rolling in the Deep by Adele

    ReplyDelete
  142. I broke my headphones. I am totally rocking those dorky ones that wrap around your ears. NOT comfortable or at all conducive to running. I look like a total dweeb.

    ReplyDelete
  143. My favorite song to run to right now is "Fireworks" by Katy Perry.

    ReplyDelete
  144. I could ALWAYS use a new pair of head phones! i dont mind the apple ones that came with my ipod but these are pretty sweet!

    ReplyDelete
  145. my favorite song right now is give me everything by pitbull & friends

    ReplyDelete
  146. I need these as after a horrible first marathon experience, I am crazy enough to try again and could use a good pair of earphones for those long and lonely training runs!

    ReplyDelete
  147. I need them because I have been 3 pairs since August. I hate all of them because I can't find something that will stay comfortably in my ear.

  149. My favorite song to run to right now is ET by Katy Perry, usually can't stand her but for some reason the beat on this one gets my going!

  150. I need these because every other type of earbud hurts my ears and gives me headaches! Def no bueno when you're focusing on other types of running pain! Fave song to run to? Anything on the new Foo Fighters album....man, I love those guys!

  151. My running headphones just broke and my heart is broken! These Auria ones look fantastic (and I just liked them on FB). My favorite song to run to these days is "Lose Yourself" by Eminem, because it keeps me going at the end.

    I am a new fan and following you and will make a mention on FB too! Count me in for 5! Aloha!

  152. I need fancy ear phones because my left ear has a mole in it (gross, yes) that makes most ear phones, like ipod ear buds, fall our easily but just from my left ear.

    This leaves me with one ear phone dangling, the other hanging steady.

  153. My current favorite song to run to would be Rumors by Adele; it is especially good for hills.

  154. I could really use a great set of headphones so that I can keep one in my gym bag. They always get so tangled in my purse!

  156. I'd love to try these, My left ear is smaller than my right...I know, weird! So I usually only wear 1 bud. I wonder if these would work??? My favorite running song is Train's "Hey Soul Sister." I love your blog and FB posts!!!

  158. I could use these headphones because I always have to wear the big dorky kind because I usualy can't get those little ear buds to stay in!! I would love to get out of 1992 style headphones!
