These Fruity Pebbles earbuds are a cereal junkie’s dream come true

By Simon Cohen February 13, 2023

You know what we don’t get enough of these days? Headphone companies doing collaborations with sugary breakfast cereal brands. Thankfully that conspicuous absence will soon be filled by JLab and Post, with two special edition sets of Fruity Pebbles-inspired products: The $35 Go Air Pop, and the $30 JBuddies Studio.

These Flintstones-themed devices will be available directly from the JLab website starting on March 7, which is National Cereal Day — but you knew that already, didn’t you? JLab provided no rationale for why it chose to engage with Post Consumer Brands on this partnership, but it’s a good bet that the company has been keeping close tabs on Skullcandy — its closest competitor — and its recent collaborations with Doritos on earbuds and gaming headsets.

Other than the Fruity Pebbles-inspired colors and branding (and a $10 premium on their price that presumably reflects their limited edition nature), these JLab wireless earbuds and wired headphones are identical to the normal JLab models. The Go Air Pop are one of the best values in a set of basic wireless earbuds. For the price, they sound great and have surprisingly good battery life. We also really like the case’s integrated USB charging cable — it’s everything you need in one spot.

The JLab JBuddies Studio are also a great budget choice for kids, with a small frame for small heads, volume-limiting circuitry to protect their hearing, and a lifetime warranty so you needn’t worry that you’ll be buying a new set in six months’ time.

Good ol’ Fred Flintstone may never have enjoyed his breakfast with a set of wireless earbuds — in fact, did he ever get to enjoy breakfast even once? — but if you jump on these Fruity Pebbles products before they’re gone, you’ll get to Yabba-Dabba-Do all the way until lunchtime.

Bose kills off its Sport Open Earbuds as new players enter the category

Bose Sport Open Earbuds

Bose has decided to pull the plug on its Sport Open Earbuds, a set of wireless earbuds that sit on your ear instead of inside it, according to a report from The Verge and confirmed by Bose. The move comes less than two years after the product's debut. The remainder of Bose's Sport Open Earbuds is now discounted to $119 (down from its regular $199 price) until all of the inventory has been sold.

The Sport Open Earbuds were the first to try something entirely new for the wireless earbuds market. Instead of placing an earbud inside your ear, or pressed up against your ear canal, they perch on top of your ears, with a portion of the C-shaped device wrapped around the back of your ears. The design has one major strength: it lets you hear the outside world as clearly as you do when not wearing any earbuds at all.

Soundcore’s latest earbuds steal some of Apple’s smartest features

Soundcore Liberty 4.

Soundcore is revamping its lineup of wireless earbuds with a new naming convention and a lot of new features. The Liberty 4 is technically the latest version of the company's popular Liberty Air earbuds, but the "Air" portion of the name is now history. They'll be priced at $150 when they go on sale in October.

Design-wise, the Liberty 4 will look very familiar to Soundcore fans. They maintain the same elongated-stem shape from the previous models and their wirelessly capable charging case uses the same sliding lid mechanism that the company first used on the Liberty Pro. But if you look a little closer at those stems, you'll see the first big change: a small set of flattened areas. Instead of touch controls, these are the same force controls seen on the Apple AirPods Pro, and they work the same way, with a squeeze-to-click gesture.

Nothing teases its next wireless earbuds with photos of a lipstick-like case

Nothing Ear Stick teaser.

Nothing has started teasing its next product – a pair of wireless earbuds that will come equipped with a cylindrical case. Known as the Ear Stick, they will be vastly different from the Ear (1), contrary to earlier rumors that said Nothing will simply be repackaging the first pair of earbuds in a new case. We can expect the new earbuds to launch later this year.

Lewis Hopkins, Nothing’s U.S. public relations manager, told The Verge that the Nothing Ear Stick "is an entirely new product. New charging case and new bud." Earlier rumors have suggested that the company's next product will share a lot of design elements with its first product. However, the Ear Stick is said to come without silicone eartips, like Apple's non-Pro versions of the AirPods.
