Justin Thomas Bluetooth earbuds during Payne Cup??

[pharmmoose]

Anyone know the brand of Bluetooth earbuds Justin Thomas was wearing during the Payne Cup today?  I’m not a big fan of Apple AirPods but his earbuds seemed to have some loop that came around his ear to stay on his ear better.

They looked like Beats to me.

Definitely Beats by Dre - he is sponsored by Beats. Same company as Apple now I know but he has the specific hook up. Rory did have a deal with Bose but maybe that has finished up...

Thanks for the update. I thought that might be the Beats, but wasn’t for sure. I’ve had my original Airpods for a couple years and looking for some new earbuds that work for the course, but not sure about spending $250 on some Bluetooth earbuds. Seems too high considering my AirPods only lasted 2.5 years.

Take a look at the options plantronics have. Most of their sport options have the loop. I have used their headphones for workouts for a while. They won't be sounds isolating if you care about that.

Take a look at Soundcore if you are looking for good options at a more reasonable price. 
 

Soundcore are affiliated with Anker so good customer service and warranties.

Thanks for the recommendations. My original AirPods are done. Can’t use them for more than 15-20 minutes of charge. Time to upgrade. I’ll check those options out this evening. Appreciate the suggestions!

You may also want to check out the Jabra 75t. Jabra just announced the next model so you could also look at those (i believe they're called 85) or score some discounts on the 75t. The 75's didn't have noise cancelation previously, but are supposed to get it soon through a firmware update. They're very highly rated, I've been eyeing a pair. Not a fan of airpods either (fit isn't great for me).

Try contacting Apple. Had that issue with my case not charging after about 18 months. Since the cast wouldn't charge, the AirPods wouldn't charge. Chatted with Apple online, they sent me a new case with a hold on my credit card, then I sent back the old case and they released the hold. Wouldn't be surprised if they did the same or similar for you.

I have soundcores and they are fantastic. Stay on my ears easily and long battery life. I got mine for $50.

I bought some Raycons this summer. My first wireless earbuds. I’ve been really happy with them, i think they were just a bit over $100

Well I guess I was wrong...  sure looked like they were all wearing them.  I assumed that is how the TV people were speaking to them.  I guess they were yelling really loudly!

[TwistedSister]

[Cwing]

Any good sources of review out there? In ear that stay in the ear, noise canceling, sweat proof?

[Neurotica]

I have the Powerbeats Pro. Love ‘em perfect fit, great sound, each side can be used individually, and long battery life. Worth every penny.

1000% recommend the AirPods Pro. The best tech purchase I've made all year by a longshot. They stay in your ear while you're active and the noise cancellation is incredible.
