Apple may have made totally wire-free, slightly odd looking earbuds "a thing," but they're not the only players in the game. 

If you get bogged down with brand names, you’ll miss out on some of the coolest and most affordable listening technology available today. The TREBLAB X11 Wireless Earphones are exemplary of this technology, and when you’re rocking a pair while working out, commuting, or kicking back, you’ll wonder why you ever lived the wired life at all.

Don’t let their discreet profile fool you — the TREBLAB X11s pack some serious sonic power. Their HD drivers provide deep, thrumming bass and crisp treble, plus their passive noise cancellation maintains clarity in noise-polluted areas. Use both buds for the traditional, immersive stereo listening experience, or a single earpiece if you need to give the outside world part of your attention. Feel free to don them at the gym too; their secure, flexible, and sweat-proof ear fins are perfect for active use.

Are you ready to enter the world of wireless listening without shelling out a Benjamin and then some? Get TREBLAB’s X11 wireless earbuds for $36.99, temporarily reduced from the regular price of $199.99.
