TaoTronics Bluetooth apt-X Earphones for $26 [limit 3]

On the utilitarian front, the new condition TaoTronics Bluetooth apt-X Earphones, with IPX5 Splash Proof Rating, and magnetic shells, are on sale for $26 per pair, with a limit of up to three pairs per customer by a marketplace seller with the orders fulfilled by Amazon, so free 2-day Prime shipping or Same-Day Delivery (with $35+ orders; eg two pairs).

Non-Prime members get free shipping as well, the usual “Super Saver shipping”.

These can play music only through bluetooth. There is no 3.5mm input (as it is often the case with earphones, which don’t have the space to offer both options like over/on-ears can). These average 4.4 out of 5 based on nearly 800 customer reviews, and they have nearly 50 questions answered.

PS: for apt-X to work, both your music source and the earphones must support it. Bluetooth works in a lowest common denominator fashion, so if your music source does not support apt-X or has an older Bluetooth version, they’ll connect using the lowest common protocol, not apt-X.
