I have it, but I cannot tell you what the name of it is. It does not say in the app itself, nor provide a developer. I have searched my purchase history and do not find it there. If you have any advice how to find apps like this, once you use or have purchased and want to find again, I sure

Arnold, a friend bought these for his son, so only looked at them briefly. However, he thought they had bullet shape earbuds that pushed into the ear. It sounds like they might be sound isolating. Is this the case. I am speaking of the 730 model. Thanks! On Dec 31, 2013, at 5:58 PM, Arnold
