While there are now many wireless earbuds on the market that offer greater freedom and convenience to consumers, cost can be a large factor that prevents them from investing in a new piece of audio equipment—but at CES 2018, Wicked Audio is launching the affordable Wicked Audio Arq.
Arq is a Bluetooth-enabled earbud that boasts a sweat-resistant, rubberized finish that will be well suited to keeping up with an active lifestyle. For the utmost convenience, the carrying case doubles as a charging station for the wireless Bluetooth earbuds, as well as other devices. Wicked Audio promises to keep consumers comfortable with three cushion sizes for an enhanced listening experience.
Wicked Audio Arq retails for about $80, which is about half the price of some other options offered from other leading brands.
