Jabra Elite Active 65t review
Bill Roberson/Digital Trends

Apple AirPods are one of the most popular wireless earbuds on the market right now, but that doesn’t mean they are your only option. The Jabra Elite Active 65t sports earbuds have everything you need to listen to your music on the go, without the AirPods price tag. They are even built to handle just about any amount of sweat you can drip on them without breaking down. And for a limited time, you can Buy Now on Amazon — with shipping just in time for Christmas.

The Buy Now are so great, in fact, that our audio experts decided to give them a rare 9 out of 10 rating. With a reliable Bluetooth connection, excellent noise isolation, balanced sound, and good battery life, they are one of the most reliable wireless earbuds on the market right now. Alexa integration and a charging case provide those extra features you’d come to expect from a top headphone brand, providing the additional support you need to enjoy your music on the go for longer. The 5-hour battery life of these earbuds gets extended to a full 15 hours with the addition of the charging case.

What really sets these headphones apart from others on the market right now, however, is their ability to seamlessly integrate with your workouts. A hefty IP56 waterproof rating provides the sweat protection necessary to handle the buckets of sweat any average individual is bound to create during exercise. They also allow for a wireless range of up to 33 feet, which means you can leave your phone somewhere else in the room and still enjoy music without your connection being interrupted.

If you still aren’t convinced about the workout capabilities of these Jabra Elite earbuds, there is one more feature that may pique your interest. With the addition of a motion sensor, these sweatproof earbuds can actually track your workout performance directly from your ears — something the Apple AirPods are not yet capable of.

Normally priced at $190, the Jabra Elite 65t Alexa-enabled earbuds are down to just $132 on Amazon right now. However, you’ll need to pay a little bit extra for one-day shipping if you want to get it before Christmas arrives.

Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen.

Audio Technica ATH-AWX7000 wooden headphones launched

Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.

The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
