Why We Love This Deal
Stories of exasperated travelers, stuck hearing other people’s music and FYP stories due to a lack of headphone usage, are on the rise.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Total Battery Life: 48 hours (earbuds + case)
- Connection Style: Wireless (Bluetooth)
- IP Rating: IPX7
- Best Use Case: This is a great pair of earbuds for casual listening, workouts, and making calls.
For standard listening, the Exzhig provides a pretty typical experience for budget buds, pushing the beat through 13mm drivers. Though charging is easily done via USB-C, the earbuds and case combined hold enough power to blast through 48 hours of listening. They are capable of connecting to any modern Bluetooth device.
Their IPX7 rating shows that the buds are nearly impervious to water damage, which already makes them great for the outdoors. But what a lot of people miss is that this is a key feature of workout headphones as well, which need sweat resistance.
Next, let’s talk about noise cancellation. Noise cancelling comes in two parts, one physical and one digital. Headphones that go over the ear, like my Sony WH-1000XM5, provide great ear coverage that’s then boosted to the next level by microphone-driven Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). With earbuds like these, however, that physical seal is harder to achieve. Yet, the Exzhig shares the ball and stick design of the Apple AirPods 4, notorious for having decent ANC in earbud form. Depending on your ear shape, there’s a decent chance you might get an above-par seal.
Finally, the noise cancellation can go two ways, and this is actually an excellent pair of earbuds for making calls, as they can block out your surrounding sounds to some degree.

What Shoppers Are Saying
While these earbuds don’t have a ton of reviewers yet, the ones who did share their thoughts said they were fantastic; 95% of early raters give the buds a perfect rating.
For one, shoppers seem to agree that the sound quality is excellent for the price. “Whether I’m listening to music or taking calls, the audio is clear and good.”
And, if it matters to you, they can totally pass as an Apple product. As one reviewer put it, “They look almost the same as AirPods, and sound probably about the same.”
The Exzhig Wireless Earbuds are just $22 while this offer lasts. The coupon is set to expire in a few weeks, so grab a pair while you still can.
