When it comes to a great pair of headphones, there's no shortage out there to choose from. But the prices can vary wildly, from $25 to $250 or more. And not all of wireless earbuds offer the same features. For those with an active lifestyle, earbuds designed for sports are the antidote to the falling-out-at-every-bounce earbud, helping to keep your workout seamless. One pair, the Yamaha TW-ES5A True Wireless sports earbuds, are now available at a crazy big discount: You can grab a pair at Adorama for just $39, down from $180. That's a wild $148 discount. But there is no telling how long this deal will last so grab a pair for someone on your gift list and one for yourself while you're at it.
With these earbuds, you get Yamaha True Sound technology for a dynamic listening experience, with a design meant to help hold your earbuds in place while moving. They are also water resistant, so you don't have to stress about sweaty workouts or sudden rain.
