As the world slowly advances, electronic manufacturers have decided that devices no longer need wires. Smartphones are slowly losing their audio jacks, almost any handheld device can now be charged wirelessly, and people can now enjoy music completely devoid of cords. The next step in the evolution of audio is truly wireless earbuds, like Bang & Olufsen’s new and improved Beoplay E8 2.0. They offer quality sound with (literally) no strings attached. Right now, these exceptionally stylish and great-sounding earbuds are available on Amazon for an enormous $101 off. Normally worth $350, you can now get your own for $249.

Bang & Olufsen has always been known for putting out incredibly good-looking products, and the Beoplay E8 2.0s are no exception. These earbuds look exactly like the first generation of the E8. They are still incredibly tiny and are made entirely of plastic, with the B&O logo printed on the exterior. The buds offer a secure in-ear fit that provides excellent passive noise isolation, making them perfect for commuters. Then we have the gorgeous charging case. It is pill-shaped and is no bigger than a matchbox, covered in genuine leather. The case now has a USB Type-C charging port, ensuring faster charging, and can provide about four hours of playback for each full charge.

The biggest change on the Beoplay E8 2.0 is their improved signal strength and connectivity. The original ones were pretty buggy. Although they sounded great, it took multiple attempts for them to pair via Bluetooth, repeatedly rejecting pairing requests. Another issue with version 1.0 is they would occasionally stop working for no apparent reason and you’ll be forced to perform a hard reset. Thankfully, these problems are no longer present on the E8 2.0s. These buds now pair seamlessly with any device at first attempt, and there are almost no signal dropouts. We did, however, experience some dropouts in places where there are lots of people, which is perfectly understandable as pretty much any wireless set is prone to signal interference.

In terms of sound quality, the Beoplay E8 2.0s are impressive for truly wireless earbuds. Songs sound rich and textured regardless of what genre you listen to, with an incredible amount of detail and subtleness left intact. Drum-heavy songs sound rightfully punchy, while more delicate music is a delight to listen to.

The second generation of Bang and Olufsen’s Beoplay E8 are amazingly stylish, offer improved Bluetooth connectivity, and most importantly, sound superb. The touch controls are a little awkward to operate, but other than that these are excellent truly wireless earbuds that are worth their premium price tag.

Music plays a big role in workout performance. Research shows that jamming out to a fast-moving playlist while exercising helps burn more calories as you tend to move better, harder, and with more strength. It also helps increase your stamina and puts you in a better mood. Over-ear headphones provide top-flight sound quality, but are uncomfortable during exercise. Going for true wireless earbuds is only sensible as there are no cords to untangle or restrict your movements.

There are many important factors to consider when it comes to choosing which true wireless earbuds suit you best. In addition to delivering an amazing sound performance, they must also be tough enough to endure the rigors of a good workout. We scoured
Amazon
,
Walmart
, and
Best Buy

Amazon discounts the best true wireless earbuds for Android – the Samsung Galaxy Buds
samsung galaxy buds amazon discount full review feat 768x479 c

You may have noticed that headphone cables are no longer in fashion. Everywhere you look people are using true wireless earbuds. Not only have they eliminated cords and the accompanying nuisance of getting constantly tangled, but totally wireless audio now sounds better than ever. Plus, there's the added convenience of not getting whacked on the face when you use them in the gym. The Apple Airpods might be the most popular option, but trust us when we say that the Samsung Galaxy Buds are the best true wireless earbuds that you can buy right now. They offer a super comfortable and secure fit, six hours of playtime (an hour longer than the AirPods), and they're sweatproof (the AirPods aren't). Right now, you can buy them on Amazon for a
cool $30 off.
Get the Galaxy Buds with a wireless charging case for just $100 instead of $130.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds are triangular and ergonomically shaped to fit the ears snugly. They attach to three sets of silicone eartips and sport fins, and although they seal the ears shut and provide a physical layer of noise reduction, they're among the most comfortable true wireless earbuds we've worn in a long time. Where Apple’s eartip-free AirPods tend to hurt the ears during prolonged use, the Galaxy Buds are nearly unnoticeable once you put them in.
