HoodieBuddy Review – One of the Best Companions for an iOS Device
So what would be your first reaction, or rather what is your first reaction, after you hear the following: a sweater that you can physically wear, that has a pair of headphones in place of the hoodie srawstrings already built in to allow easy music listening. That’s exactly what the vast line of HoodieBuddys do.
Really, what truly is your reaction or the first of the following thoughts that came into your mind?/>id="polls-11" class="wp-polls">id="polls_form_11" class="wp-polls-form" action="/blog/hoodiebuddy-review-one-of-the-best-companions-for-an-ios-device" method="post">style="display: none;">type="hidden" name="poll_id" value="11" />

If your head was in any way tingling like mine was when I first happened to come across the onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.hoodiebuddie.com/index.php');" target="_blank" href="http://www.hoodiebuddie.com/index.php">HoodieBuddy website, then you’re probably pretty excited for the following review.
The name, HoodieBuddy isn’t exactly completely reflective of what the product is. Imagine your everyday hoodie and then imagine the hoodie drawstring replaced with a pair of headphones, which are able to play music from your MP3 player or more specifically, for this website, your iPhone or iPod Touch (technically you could plug in your onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.ipadngravy.com');" target="_blank" title="iPad" href="http://www.ipadngravy.com">iPad as well, but I don’t know how an iPad could possibly fit into a pocket)./> onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/downloads/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/20110920-060912.jpg');" href="http://www.iphonealley.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/20110920-060912.jpg">src="http://www.iphonealley.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/20110920-060912.jpg" alt="20110920-060912.jpg" class="aligncenter size-full" />
The hoodie can supposedly be washed even with the headphones/drawstrings. It would definitely be a pain if you had to take out the headphones and then route them back in every single time you got a stain on the sweater itself, especially if you have a white hoodie like me. I haven’t yet washed the sweater (not bad hygiene, just haven’t had the need to) so can’t really confirm that the headphones will come out unharmed. But either way, it’s convenient and certainly a selling point for the genius people behind the HoodieBuddy.
The main reason I envision using the HoodieBuddy for would be for class or school purposes. Whenever your teacher is absolutely boring you, you could just pop the headphones in with a relatively good chance of your teacher not finding out. Although it will most undoubtedly aid for situations as mentioned, it won’t really benefit when something like so is actually needed for learning purposes; the lack of a microphone built into one of the two earbuds eliminates the possible use of the HoodieBuddy for taking audio notes – just a simple addition, maybe raise the price a few cents, and you’ve got a real handy companion for your class/school purposes.
So what does a hoodie have to do with iPhones?!? Well, the iPhone can be used with the HoodieBuddy. By plugging an iPod Touch of iPhone into the cable protruding into the pocket, you can enjoy your tunes with the headphones. And you’d think headphones with a product wouldn’t be so desirable, but it’s the exact opposite: the headphones definitely do provide clear music, even though they’re not too aesthetically-pleasing. They come along with multiple silicone caps of different sizes to fulfill the needs of people with all sizes of ears. Make sure to check the inside the hoodie before complaining that they’re not accompanied with different caps – don’t be like me!
I’m pretty sure that the headphone chord itself won’t ware out too quickly. Rather than an actual cable, the wire is concealed within the kind of fabric that would usually make the drawstrings of a normal hoodie. Plus, the headphones not-extremely-long design prevents them from getting tangled./>id="attachment_22046" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px">href="http://www.iphonealley.com/blog/hoodiebuddy-review-one-of-the-best-companions-for-an-ios-device/attachment/megan-fox-and-brian-austin-green-get-carried-away" rel="attachment wp-att-22046">src="http://www.iphonealley.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/mfox-in-hb-e1316474662351.jpg" alt="" title="Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green get Carried Away" width="300" height="448" class="size-full wp-image-22046" />class="wp-caption-text">If it entices you more, here is Megan Fox in a HoodieBuddy
/> This whole idea, though very much innovative as well as useful, isn’t anything new. I
onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.gamblingiq.com');" target="_blank" title="bet" href="http://www.gamblingiq.com">bet that you could find something like so at your local mall. But if you’re looking for a cheaper alternative, then I suggest the HoodyBuddy; I saw a similar hoodie at a JCPenny for $50 while the HB’s sell from $20-$40 price range depending on the design. You can check out the whole inventory, including

Each hoodie is priced accordingly, and there are also plad shirts and jackets available for purchase.

The only reason I’d hold back on purchasing the HoodieBuddy at this point, which you’ve probably already figured out, is that it’s still not yet Winter or, in Georgia anyway, the time to wear the hoodie comfortably. But by all means, when the holiday season rolls around, this would be the perfect gift to give someone.
