Aural New York has announced three new pairs of Apple-like earbuds in pink, black and blue. “White ones were indeed cool for a while, but let’s get real, even your great-great-grandma rocks ‘em nowadays,” says the company. The colorful earbuds, which are not painted Apple earbuds, come with both black and white foam earbud pads and sell for $15.

I still don’t get why so many people still use the inferior earbuds…

I thought Aural was the name of an obscure religion. I remember reading about the Aural sects somewhere.

because that attracts a better audience and makes the headphones look better than they really are. Hey, it worked on me, I’m buyin those black ones. It’s only cuz i lost my other ones tho.

This makes a little sense… but they should also include the other three iPod mini colours.
If I had a black iPod, I’d want black earbuds, though, so it makes sense.

Finally!
Aural did what I’ve been waiting for Apple to do all along. I really like the sound quality of the Apple earbuds and don’t want to spend a ton on ‘better quality’ headphones.
Also, I don’t want white earbuds that scream ‘mug me’ on the city streets.
