Rock Out While You Work Out with Under Armour’s The Rock Earbuds

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has joined forces with athletic brand Under Armour in what could be one of the biggest tag-team collaborations in recent memory. And no, he’s not making a return to the ring (at least not at the moment). We’re talking a tried and true workout companion: The Rock earbuds.

Johnson took to Instagram on May 30 to announce the launch of his highly anticipated Project Rock True Wireless In-Ear headphones, which were made in partnership Under Armour and premium speaker producers JBL.

Crafted with a durable, sweat-proof material that will sit secure in your ear as you move, The Rock earbuds were designed specifically for the workout grind. And, seeing as they’ve been put through the Iron Paradise test by Mr. Johnson himself, you know these are the real deal.

The Project Rock True Wireless In-Ear Headphones are built to withstand any type of workout, too, whether you’re sweating up a storm in the gym pumping iron or running trails in the great outdoors. Under Armour lent a helping hand with its UA Storm technology with an IPXL7 rating, giving The Rock earbuds a lasting, water- and sweat-proof protection barrier to ensure your headphones can keep up with your training. The team even went one step further and added much-needed anti-microbial ear tips to help stave off bacterial growth. Thank you for the clean ears, Dwayne!

Offering winged ear-tip enhancers, these in-ear headphones are engineered to stay comfortably in place, no matter your motion. They are also built with UA Talk-Thru tech, which means you don’t have to take the headphones off to have a conversation. Instead, the headphones function by a simple touch of the Brahma bull on the side, which triggers the noise-canceling feature to allow you to speak and be heard. 

And yes, there’s more. The Rock earbuds play host to up to five hours of battery life within a rugged, aluminum 20-hour charging case to make sure your music and motivation last until your workout is complete.

The earbuds are currently sold out (they went super quick), but you can sign up to be notified when they are back in stock.

Big Green Egg brings back a fan-favorite item for a limited time
However spend your evenings outdoors, the Big Green Egg Chiminea is there to help keep things warm
The Big Green Egg Chiminea.

Love good times by the fire on a chilly night? Want to enjoy a few drinks in a toasty spot after a long day at work? Of course, we all do. But throwing some logs in a pit in the ground doesn't quite do it. If you want a cozy evening, Big Green Egg brings the wow with the release of a special Chiminea to celebrate 50 years in business, and it will take your gathering around the fire to a whole new level.
The Big Green Egg update

Big Green Egg has been the go-to for outdoor grillers and smokers looking for an outdoor cooker for decades. But if you want to hang out in the fresh air without cooking, the Chiminea is what you need. Freestanding fireplaces aren't new, and Big Green Egg isn't trying to reinvent them. The vintage version from 1999 is the starting point, with upgrades worthy of a 50th anniversary.
What's cracking with this egg
If it's not broken, don't fix it, right? But even the littlest changes will make something feel fresh. For those who aren't the best at starting a fire and keeping it going, the Chiminea comes with Lava Rocks to keep the flames roaring more evenly and for longer. Made from NASA-grade ceramic, the quality isn't something to worry about, either. And, yes, it's still in that gorgeous, signature deep green color.

Juiced Bikes JetCurrent Pro: Fast e-bike brand takes performance to new level
Is the JetCurrent Pro a moped disguised as an e-bike?

Juiced Bikes recently introduced the JetCurrent Pro, a folding e-bike that pushes the category's traditional standards to near moped level. The JetCurrent Pro isn't the most powerful or fastest e-bike you can buy. It doesn't look terribly different from other folding e-bikes, either. However, with the JetCurrent Pro's powertrain and its inclusive list of standard equipment, it's a short leap of imagination to wonder if Juiced Bikes' founder, Tora Harris, is considering a street-legal form of EV transportation that goes beyond the usual e-bike limitations.
Why the Juiced Bikes JetCurrent Pro matters

Harris, a former Olympic high jump athlete and Princeton University-educated engineer founded Juiced Bikes in 2009. Juiced Bikes is one of the earliest U.S. e-bike companies. Rad Power Bikes, another U.S. e-bike pioneer, eschewed e-bikes that exceeded the Class 2 20 mph limit until recently. In contrast, Juiced has consistently stressed high performance, with e-bikes that exceed the Class 3 28-mph limit in off-road mode.

We've all had the dream where we're running towards something, only for it to get further and further away as we run. The same thing can happen easily in golf. People just aren't that great at eyeballing distances. A good golf GPS device can help. Much like in Mario Golf or any other golf video game, you have the chance to see a true to life "mini map" of your position and surroundings, plus can get an accurate to-hole distance check.

And that's just the beginning. The best golf GPS devices will also give you the ability to know where every trap and bend on the course is. That includes that sneaky sand pit on the other side of that innocent hill over yonder. Some are even able to keep track of your score, tell you the slope of the land and more.
