Wireless earbuds are great for those who want to enjoy their audio without the bulkiness of over-ear headphones or the tangles of the wire, and during this year's Labor Day sales, you'll find many on discount. Of those, the Jabra Elite 8 Active -- which you can getat Amazon for $150 -- are a pair of earbuds that can withstand more than a little bit of rough and tumble. These are one of CNET's favorites because of their durability and this is a deal you don't want to miss.
Jabra claims these are the "world's toughest earbuds," and we tested that claim out in our hands-on review. As well as being waterproof and dustproof, the Elite 8 Active earbuds are drop-resistant to 1 meter. Our headphone reviewer David Carnoy dropped them several times on the pavement from shoulder height and fully submerged them in water with no signs of damage. They also fit securely in your ears, making them especially great for those who like to use earbuds while out running without worrying about sweat or if fumbling one while trying to get them in your ears when outside.
