iPhoneworld has given a great review of  the Sleek Audio SA6 Wireless Earbuds bundle stating that “The sound is amazingly clear, I couldn’t even tell that it was wireless!”

Here’s an excerpt from the review:

“I’ve listened to a lot of different kinds of headphones. Some that are great and others that do not perform nearly as well. What you get from the Sleek Audio SA6’s are a pair of very unique earphones, that not only sound great, but also give you the option of going wireless!”

Apple recently warned on there support site that is possible to receive a small electrical (static) shock from your earbuds while listening to your Ipod or Iphone.

I have had this problem with several sets of standard earbuds while jogging or working out but have never had it occur on my wireless earbuds. Trust me…it’s not a fun experience and is one of the main reasons I switched to wireless earbuds for my Ipod.

It seems like environmental conditions combines with a lot of movement is the main cause of static buildup. When using earbuds in areas where the air is very dry, it is easy to build up static electricity and possible for your ear to receive a small electrostatic discharge from the earbuds.

This condition is very similar to dragging your feet across a carpet and receiving a static shock by touching a door knob. However, instead of the static charge building up on your body, the charge builds up on the device that the earbuds are connected to. Likewise, instead of the static buildup discharging through your finger when you touch a door knob, it discharges through the earbuds.

You can read the full warning on Apple’s site. After searching through the forums I found a few complaints from shocked earbud users who have also switched to wireless earbuds.

Has this happened to you? Leave a comment and spead the word.
