These discounted wireless earbuds are a great Apple AirPods alternative

Jabra Elite Active 65t review

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

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.

New AirPods Pro features take your hearing health seriously

Along with the iPhone 16, new AirPods 4, and new AirPods Max, Apple today at its annual fall event unveiled new features for the AirPods Pro. Not new AirPods Pro -- new features for the existing AirPods Pro. As was rumored, this new version goes heavy on your hearing health, and in a number of ways.

First is improved hearing protection for loud sounds. That's important for a couple of reasons. It lets you listen to whatever it is you're listening to without distraction. But it also helps ensure that your ears aren't getting blasted by the sounds it's blocking.

Apple AirPods Max finally get USB-C plus spatial audio for music
Apple AirPods Max with USB-C.

Apple's AirPods Max wireless noise-canceling headphones will ditch the lightning port in favor of USB-C. Apple announced the update to the headphones at the "It's Glowtime" event on September 9 along with the new iPhone 16. They still cost $549 and come in five new colors: midnight, blue, purple, orange, and starlight. They can be preordered starting September 9, and will be available on September 20.

The updated AirPods Max are effectively identical to the original model including the iconic aluminum-covered earcups and mesh headband, but now they can be charged via USB-C.

Apple’s newest AirPods 4 add affordable ANC and wireless charging
The AirPods 4.

Apple's annual fall event (or close enough to fall, anyway) has arrived. And with it we have the iPhone 16, of course, a new version of the AirPods Max — and new entry-level and midrange AirPods (to go along with new features for the existing AirPods Pro).

Apple has said goodbye to the original long-stem AirPods design, with the new AirPods 4 looking a lot like the third-gen AirPods. It has also created a separate version called the AirPods 4 with ANC.
