While true wireless earbuds have dominated the market for years now, there's still a case to be made for the neckband-style earbuds connected by a wire. They're much harder to lose. You can leave them dangling around your neck like a pendant. You can just slip them out of your ears without worrying about finding a place to put them. And you can find them for pretty dang cheap.

The Beats Flex offer this convenient neckband style and as of April 3, they're on sale for only $40.41 at Amazon. That's 42% off the list price of $69.95 and only about a dollar away from their lowest price to date.

Now quite a few years old, the Beats Flex don't have all the bells and whistles you might expect from brand-new AirPods. But some folks don't care for all of those added features anyway. If you want some earbuds that'll remain in your ears, are comfortable and lightweight, sound good, and are hard to lose, these should do the trick.

They magnetically clasp together when you're not using them and automatically unpause your music when you pull them apart. You'll get about 12 hours of battery life per charge and a quick 10-minute USB-C charging session will give you an extra 1.5 hours of playback. While the Flex have Apple's W1 chip for easy pairing with Apple gadgets, they're also surprisingly Android-friendly, making them a great choice for just about anyone looking for cheap earbuds with the Beats logo.
