Yurbuds was founded in 2008 by Seth Burgett, President and CEO, an active triathlete and Richard Daniels, COO, a 22-time marathoner. Burgett and Daniels left their corporate roles and joined forces to improve personal performance. They've been joined by Craig Ceranna, Partner and Managing Director, to realize the company's mission: transform the athlete's experience through personalized service and exceptional audio products that integrate ergonomics and emotive design.

Burgett developed his award winning idea for personally-sized earbuds while training for an Ironman 70.3 triathlon. An avid runner and triathlete, Burgett found that his iPod® earphones were painful and very often fell out of his ears during training. Utilizing his background in minimally invasive surgical devices, Burgett and his team, including audiologists and industry design leaders, developed a patented ergonomically designed earbud enhancer that could be personally sized through the use of proprietary imaging technology. The resulting product, yurbuds, is an ergonomically brilliant, acoustically driven headphone which is guaranteed not to fall out, even at extreme activity levels, while still providing an unparalleled level of comfort and fidelity.

As a company, Yurbuds was named Forbes 9th Most Promising Company in America for 2009.
