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

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.

We love this Tribit StormBox speaker for cookouts, beach days, more — $35 off
Tribit StormBox Flow Bluetooth speaker Prime Day deal

It's summertime, which means you may be spending more time outdoors. Maybe you'll be exploring the wilderness, visiting a beach, or doing some camping or fishing. Either way, wouldn't it be nice to have some tunes? You can certainly achieve that thanks to an Amazon Prime Day deal on the Tribit StormBox Flow. It's a fantastic option for cookouts, beach days, and camping because it's tough, waterproof, and built to take a beating. Oh, and it sounds awesome, too. Usually $80, the Tribit StormBox Flow is down to $64 for Prime Day, but you can clip an on-page coupon to get the price even lower, to $45, saving you $35. Get pulsating, punchy beats with 9dB of power, up to 30 hours of battery life and customized equalizer modes through the Tribit app.

 
Why we love the Tribit StormBox Flow for outdoor adventures
First, it's a Bluetooth speaker, and you can't have a decent speaker without good sound. Outperforming many comparable options, the Tribit StormBox Flow sounds incredible, and you don't even have to bother with the Tribit app. It sounds great out of the box. That's thanks to clear treble and pounding bass, which is surprisingly impressive for such a small device. That's made possible by Tribit's proprietary XBoss tuning DSP technology, which helps boost the bass to a 9dB power rating. If you know nothing about specifications, all you need to know is that it's powerful, pulse-pounding and has exceptional audio fidelity.

Still Available: Jackery solar generator deal has two solar panels for $1,400 off
Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus early Prime Day deal with two solar panels

The Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus is essentially a 2,042-watt-hour portable power station with ultra-fast charging. However, typically, you have to buy the accessories separately when you buy the station. As part of a pretty crazy Prime Day deal, however, you can get the Jackery solar generator and two 200-watt solar panels in a bundle for a ridiculous price. Usually $3,299, the bundle is just $1,899 for a limited time, saving you $1,400. It's a fantastic option for home power backup to keep your necessities on during an outage, but you can also use it for off-grid living, travel if you're on the road, or even around your home -- like to power some electronics in your backyard. The solar panels make it even more versatile as you can charge it virtually anywhere with access to reliable sunlight.

 
Here's why you should buy the Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus bundle with solar panels
We know, we know, it's not officially Prime Day yet. That happens later this week, on July 16 and July 17. It usually makes sense to hold off on buying anything until the main event because you never know how good the deals will be. That said, in the past couple of years, most of the deals have remained the same; if not, many good deals were available early and went away. If you're interested in this Jackery bundle -- an incredible deal -- you might want to shop it soon before it's gone instead of waiting.
