Why we love this deal

I’ve tried all sorts of earbuds and headphones over the years. Between over-ear headphones, on-ear headphones, wireless earbuds, and wired earbuds, I’ve found that there’s a time and place for each. But lately, I’ve been seeing more and more clip-on earbuds that make me want to give the open-ear design a go. There are popular picks from overseas, but I’ve also seen options from notable brands, like Shokz, Bose, and Sony. However, many of these options have a higher price tag, and as someone who is new to clip-on earbuds and not sure if I’d actually like them, I’ve been eyeing more affordable options.

The Btootos Clip-On Earbuds are only $20, and they’re surprisingly affordable for a Walmart bestseller. Typically, you can get them for $16, but a limited-time Flash deal drops the price with a massive 88% discount.

Why do shoppers love it?

Traditional earbuds plug into the ear canal, which can cause pressure and irritation, especially after using them for a long period of time. These clip-on Bluetooth earbuds sit just outside of the ear canal, using a C-shaped design that’s worn like an ear cuff. Because they don’t go inside the ear canal, they’re intended to be more comfortable to wear. And at just 5.3 grams, they’re lightweight and won’t weigh down your ears either. 

The earbuds have an IPX7 waterproof rating, making them a great choice for workouts. They also have a long battery life, with up to 60 hours of playtime when you factor in the charging case. Whether you’re taking calls or listening to music, they provide “quality sound,” according to shoppers, for hours on end. 

These earbuds come in five colors, including black, gold, purple, rose gold, and a striking light gold color called “Skin.” These earbuds have metallic finishes, which make them eye-catching pieces that almost look like jewelry.

Walmart reviewers said they’re impressed with these earbuds. One customer said they’re loud with “good bass,” adding that they could use them all day. Another shopper said they “look and sound really good,” noting that they’re “perfect for workouts” and don’t slip out when they sweat during exercise and are “more comfortable” than traditional earbuds.
