Fitness enthusiasts will be glad to know that these Bose wireless earbuds come with an IPX4 rating. This means that the earbuds are protected against water splashes for five minutes and are sweatproof for even the stickiest of workouts. Bose also took notes in terms of wearability and comfort. The nozzle of the ear tips is engineered to spread contact evenly around the inside of your ear, while the fin conforms to the shape of the upper ridge of your ear. This allows you to take new heights in your activities without having to worry about the earbuds falling off your ears.

Bose made strides on the internal tech as well to deliver an incredible audio performance. The company made sure to tune the circuits for superb sound quality as well as tweak the antenna position for maximum Bluetooth signal strength. This ensures clear and consistent music playback — whether your phone is on top of the treadmill, in your pocket, or in your hand. Volume-optimized EQ and signal processing technologies were also tossed in to maintain full and balanced audio no matter the volume.

With up to five hours of battery life, these Bose wireless earbuds can power you through almost any workout. Storing them in the charging case will provide two full charges equivalent to up to 10 hours. Quickly charge for 15 minutes to get 45 minutes of battery life.

Immerse yourself in your favorite tunes while working out with the Bose SoundSport Free.

The Garmin Instinct 2 is over 30% off and Walmart and Amazon have the best price
A render of a Garmin Instinct 2 smartwatch.

You don't have to pay the big prices the Apple Watch Series 10 commands to get a good smartwatch these days. That's because smartwatch deals are bringing excellent discounts to slightly older models. Take the Garmin Instinct 2 as a good example. The "graphite" black version is available at both Amazon and Walmart for around $185. That's a savings of $115 off of the usual $300. Now, if you want to buy from Amazon due to an Amazon Prime membership, you'll have to hurry because (at the time of this writing) there are only 19 in stock. Walmart's not saying how many they have left, but you can guess this items is selling quickly either way. Tap the appropriate button below to see the watch or keep reading to see what the watch has to offer you.

Why you should buy the Garmin Instinct 2
The first thing to know about the Garmin Instinct 2 is that it is built to be lived in. It's got shock resistance, is able to go as far as 100 meters under the water, has a tough polymer case, and the fairly standard scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla glass for its cover. But that's just its body. The Garmin Instinct 2 will also conform to your adventures, with a fully 3D compass that includes an altimeter and GPS, and includes special hunting and fishing modes — like many Garmin smartwatches, the Instinct 2 has a more outdoorsy feel than standard. However, when you're sleeping, the Garmin Instinct 2 will track your sleep health for you and during the day you'll get fitness info in a system not unlike that of the best smartwatches. The battery life of the Garmin Instinct 2 allows for your adventures to last for up to 28 days in smartwatch mode and 30 hours in GPS mode.
