Urbanears Boo and Boo Tip
Urbanears announced two new pairs of budget-friendly wireless earbuds. There's the Boo and the Boo Tip, both of which cost well under $100 and have an IPX water-resistance rating (so you should be safe exercising with either); the only real difference between the two is that the Boo Tip, as their name gives away, come with silicone eartips to give you a better fit. The big thing with these wireless earbuds is that they are both made almost entirely of recycled plastic.
