The reason that I hadn't switch to wireless earbuds is because they seemed prohibitively expense (especially AirPods), particularly for something that I wouldn't use all that often. Recently, Connor decided to spend some of his Christmas money on a set of wireless earbuds that were on sale for half-off. I was initially sceptical about their quality, considering that they were only $15. However, after seeing how effective Connor's iLive wireless earbuds have worked out for him, I decided that I would get a pair of my own.
Unfortunately, by the time I made the decision, they were already back up to $30, which--although still inexpensive--was more than I wanted to pay for a short-time use gadget. Also, I wanted the one step up from Connor's which advertises that it is waterproof. Thankfully, they went back on sale this past week, and I picked up a pair.
Today, I tested them while shoveling. I only had a bit to shovel thanks to a friend who plowed us out, but with the heavy, wet snow, it still took about half an hour. I have to admit that I was quite pleased. Not only were there no cord tangling issues, but these earbuds fit much more comfortably in my ears. I don't know how well they will do in the long term, but I'm surprised at how satisfied I am with them at the moment.
