About chicBuds:
For years the marketplace had been flooded with male-oriented headphones and accessories, despite the fact that women were one of the highest levels of consumers out there. In 2008, Nikki Carlson and Kailynn Bowling decided the time was ripe to let the world see that flames and metallic hues were out, and high-quality products designed with runway style in mind were in.
Since then chicBuds has developed multiple product lines including flat printed non-tangle earbuds and loud portable speakers. ChicBuds product lines have been featured in numerous magazines and media outlets, and are sold in hundreds of retailers. Playing on successes, chicBuds was excited to team up with Innovative Partners LLC in 2011 where chicBuds re-organized as Fashion Audio LLC.
