Whether you're doing mundane tasks or rigorous workouts, you want your wireless earbuds to stay put. Finding a pair designed for an active lifestyle is key, but high-quality, purpose-built styles can sometimes be pricey. Luckily, thanks to early Black Friday discounts, our favorite durable earbuds, the Jabra Elite 8 Active, are on sale for just $150 at Amazon right now. That's a nice $50 discount on some of the best earbuds we've reviewed.

Jabra claims these are the "world's toughest earbuds," and we tested that claim out in our hands-on review. As well as being waterproof and dustproof, the Elite 8 Active earbuds are drop-resistant up to one meter. Our headphone reviewer, David Carnoy, dropped them several times on the pavement from shoulder height and fully submerged them in water with no signs of damage. They should also fit securely in most people's ears, making them especially great for those who like to use earbuds while out running without worrying about sweat or fumbling one while trying to get them in your ears when outside. 

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

As well as being durable, these earbuds have very good sound quality, noise cancellation and Dolby spatial sound. They have solid battery life of up to 8 hours, so you don't have to worry about constantly charging them.
