Phonak's Audeo Perfect Fit Earphones are a uniquely-designed set of earbuds with an impressive array of features and a fair price ($139 for the standard MP3 player version; $159 for the music-phone model with the built-in mic).

We can't be certain they'll actually fit everyone perfectly, but we can say with confidence that our reviewers found them to be exceptionally secure and reasonably comfortable. Even better, they offer great bang for your buck in terms of features and sound quality.

The design of the Audeo Perfect Fit Earphones earpieces is a bit difficult to describe in words. They are somewhat of a modified L shape, with a step-down into the ear. Needless to say, the 'buds are exceptionally compact and the funky shape seems to mesh well with most ear shapes.

To further help users achieve a secure and comfortable fit, Phonak includes a set of foam tips and three sets of silicone ones in small, medium, and large sizes. (The 'phones are also compatible with Comply Foam Tips.) The package also contains a pair of bendy, plastic earloops that can be attached to the cable near the earpieces; pop them on, and you're set for even the most rigorous activity.

The Audeo Perfect Fit Earphones come in two versions. Both feature the same thick, 30-inch cord originating from a gold straight plug. This then splits into a thinner, 15-inch Y-cable that terminates in the two earpieces. The Y features a slider that helps prevent tangles when the headphones are not in use. However, the music phone version (PFE 122) also features a tiny module with a mic and call-answer button integrated into the right cable

The standard model (PFE 112) does not offer the mic. All the other extras, however, are the same. There's a nice, dual-pocket carrying case; a tool to clean off earwax; and a filter-changing kit that includes three sets of extra filters.

What immediately strikes us with the Audeo Perfect Fit Earphones is how clear and balanced the audio comes through. No instrument or frequency overpowers another. Bass is tight and thumpy, and the high-end clarity and detail is quite exceptional given the price range of the earphones, with symbols and high-hats sounding sparkly. Similarly, mids are warm and buttery without being too forward.

In the final analysis, we were highly impressed with this offering from Phonak. The Perfect Fit Earphones are comfortable, fit securely, come with a nice array of extras, and offer top-notch sound quality. They should be a prime choice in the sub-$150 category.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
