You probably haven't heard of Id America, but it's a New York company that's best known for its Cushi foam back covers for the iPhone. But like just about every other company these days, it's gotten into the headphones game, and the eye-catching Spark is one of its debut models.
Although I was impressed by the Spark's design -- yes, it's inspired by a spark plug and comes in several different colors -- I can't say I expected too much in terms of sound quality, particularly considering how lightweight they are. But lo and behold these are very pleasant-sounding in-ear headphones for the price.
The company says the Sparks are "machined with precision" and "wrapped in two layers of aluminum casing." As I said, they're light, and fit comfortably and securely in my ears. They come with the usual assortment of different-size silicon eartips, as well as a protective carrying case. That hard case is certainly protective, but I thought it could be a little flatter, so it would fit more easily in a bag or pocket.
