Greetings, Arsians! Courtesy of our friends at TechBargains, we have another round of deals to share. Today’s list is led by a deal on a pair of affordable wireless exercise headphones from Anker, the company best known for its line of popular portable batteries. The Soundcore Spirit X, as the earbuds are called, are going for $30 on Amazon. That’s a $10 drop from their usual price.

The Spirit X launched last month, so there aren’t many reviews for them just yet, but the Dealmaster himself has been using them in recent weeks and feels comfortable recommending them. They’re still cheap headphones, so you can’t expect the world. But the Spirit X headphones are lightweight, their hook design has helped them fit snugly in my ears, and they’re IPX7-rated water-resistant, which should help them withstand workouts. They also use Bluetooth 5, which should make them a bit more efficient with newer phones that also support the spec.

Anker says the earphones get 12 hours of battery life, which is about right. And while you can definitely get better sound from pricier earbuds, they should satisfy people who are looking to pay $30 for a pair of earbuds. They give a massive boost to the bass, which some may not prefer, but they’re largely clean and inoffensive otherwise. They also come with an 18-month warranty if things go bad.
