"Product Name: HoodieBuddiePrice: $52 - $92Who would like this?: Music lovers, runners, podcast enthusiasts living in colder climates, anyone prone to losing things\nEarbuds can either connect you to the world or completely shut it out. Through them, we digest music, YouTube videos and anything that might annoy a roommate or significant other. They have become a vital part of the connected lifestyle; why not fully integrate them into clothing as well?\nThat's the idea behind HoodieBuddie, the brand of sweaters and jackets with built-in earbuds, endorsed by California street artist Cat Cult, Avril Lavigne, Katie Holmes and even Betty White.\n\nThere are currently more than 10 different HoodieBuddie styles for women and 15+ styles for men, ranging from actual hoodies and sweaters to varsity jackets and parkas \u2014 even a chambray button-down shirt available in two different colors.\nThe hoodies' built-in tech is what really stands out. Using the brand's patented HB3Technology, each shirt, sweater and jacket contains waterproof, machine-washable earbuds and standard headphone jacks located in the front pocket. The set-up works with any headphone-compatible device, including MP3 players, iPods, iPhones or other smartphones. You can listen to your device through wires hidden in the drawstrings of each HoodieBuddie. \nSee also: Star Wars Pancakes: The Breakfast of Champions\nSelect styles also feature an HBmic \u2014 a microphone and audio control embedded into the drawstring. For these items, a coiled auxiliary cord comes with your order. If you want to share your favorite beats with friends, choose a jacket with HBconnect, an auxiliary-input jack that lets your friends plug their headphones into your jack.\nHoodieBuddie also offers a variety of earbud accessories including silicone caps, extension cords, gift tubes, and cellphone holders to free up your hands.\nKeep your eye out for limited edition hoodies made in collaboration with both Cat Cult and Betty White, mentioned above, as well as Brooklyn Projects, Cool Haus, Matador Beef Jerky, New Found Glory and Park N Pedal.\nHoodieBuddie App\nImage: iTunes, HoodieBuddie\nIf you want to try out the jackets before you buy, download the HoodieBuddie app available for free on iOS. Using the app, you can choose from a range of pre-loaded characters (or upload a picture of your own), pick a hoodie, and then customize your look by adjusting sleeve length and adding accessories like nunchucks and skateboards to create a unique, meme-like \"hoodrat\" that you can share with your friends.\nIf you have any friends or family members who are addicted to Spotify, or who have a difficult time remembering to bring their headphones along, HoodieBuddie works double duty to keep them warm and on-beat.\nImage: Courtesy HoodieBuddie"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
