Wireless earbuds are great for people who want to enjoy their audio without the bulk or clutter of over-ear headphones, and this year’s Labor Day sale has plenty of them on sale. Among them is the Jabra Elite 8 Active — which you can getat Amazon for $150 — are a pair of earbuds that can take a beating. These are one of CNET’s favorites for their durability, and this is a deal you don’t want to miss.
Jabra claims these are the “world’s toughest earbuds,” and we put that claim to the test in our hands-on review. In addition to being waterproof and dustproof, the Elite 8 Active earbuds can withstand drops of up to 1 meter. Our headphone reviewer David Carnoy dropped them from shoulder height onto the sidewalk multiple times, completely submerging them in water with no signs of damage. They also fit securely in your ears, making them especially great for people who like to use earbuds while running without worrying about sweat or getting them stuck in their ears while outside.
