Ebay offers the popular Apple EarPod-styled Bluetooth 4 wireless headphones for $11.99 with free shipping. That’s $2 off the price we saw before and the lowest price we’ve seen for wireless Bluetooth 4 headphones. SaleSomePlus, the seller, gets over 99% ratings as an Ebay seller on this now popular design of earbuds. Bluetooth earbuds like this not only work with Smartphones, tablets and computers, but also work with BT-enabled smartwatches like the Apple Watch.
If you are looking for the ultimate Bluetooth wireless headset bargain, Amazon’s best seller is the Bluetooth V4.0+EDR HV-800 Neckband Sport Stereo Universal Headset Headphones for just $7.63 shipped.
Don’t want to take a risk on a No-name brand? Amazon has a bunch of Apple Watch-compatible headsets including MPOW ($27), PowerBeats ($199) or $72 Jabras.
Me? I love my JBLs which cost like $90 and BlueAnt Pumps $53 and can vouch for both headsets.
Omaker sent along a few samples of their amazing little M4 ($24.99 after code 99OMAKER at Amazon)for me to check out. Here’s my quick take:
The M4 is easily one of the best low cost speakers out there. It sounds more like a $50-100 speaker from a big brand but adds water resistance and ruggedness. I dropped mine a few times without even getting a scratch. They are like the superball of Bluetooth speakers. The speakerphone works well (no noise canceling sadly) and has a dedicated phone button. Volume and power buttons also on top with AUX port and Micro USB charging on the side. NFC makes pairing with Android a snap but isn’t difficult with straight Bluetooth 4 on Apple products – even works with Apple Watch! No brainer if you are looking for an inexpensive rugged Bluetooth speaker this summer. Also makes a great gift. (I like Orange!)
Amazon has the Omaker M4 Portable Bluetooth 4.0 Speaker in Army Green or Orange for $34.99 Prime shipped. However, if you enter the coupon code: 99OMAKER the price drops to only $24.99 Prime shipped. That’s $10 off the regular price and $45 off the original list price.
This Omaker has the latest Bluetooth 4.0 technology and has a 3W audio driver and passive subwoofer. You can enjoy 12 hours of music at 80% volume. “That’s up to three times longer than similar-sized portable speakers.” It recharges in 3 hours using the included Micro USB cable. It has a unique square design with splashproof & shockproof & dustproof functions that make it suitable for the outdoors or in the shower.
Over 300 customers gave it 4.6/5 stars and left stellar reviews.
Amazon’s ZeroLemon Direct store (4.9/5 star rating) has a big 35% off coupon giving all time lows on some of our favorite iPhone 6/plus rugged battery cases using code LVE4M35G at checkout.

If you are an iMac user you like nice things. Reaching around to the back of your iMac every time you want to plug in a USB object is not nice. Sure there are options out there.
