Which ones did you get?

My dad ended up giving me a pair of Rayban Predators with polarized lenses because he never wore them, preferring his other Raybans instead.

They are the best sunglasses I've ever worn. I was shocked, as I always wrote them off as overpriced bullshit.

Concordes with tan polarized lenses. I think these are the first pair I've ever had with real glass lenses instead of polycarbonate or something. The difference is very noticeable. Tan is by far my favorite color for lenses.

First, I really like the subtle S&M chick they have on their website.

Second, I'd never spend that much money on something like that, but if I did have the money to blow, I might be convinced. I'd be slightly afraid of being laughed at, but you're a giant black guy with hands bigger than my head, so that won't be a problem for you.

It has been a day since you posted and no one commented, so I'm going to assume you bought it already. Let us know when it comes in!

my old noise cancelling headphones snapped a while back, didn't travel much so was lazy.

i think i saw this on youtube TaoTronics Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones[2019 New Version] Bluetooth Headphones SoundSurge 46 Over Ear Headphones Headset with Deep Bass, Fast Charge 30 Hour Playtime for Travel Work TV PC

so yea, i wanted it wireless and noise cancelling for the god damn lawnmower (can't have wires while mowing). Works awesome, have to raise the volume a smidge when it's on, also i wanted it to charge USB, no more silly aaa batteries.

Any suggestions for decent yet cheap wireless earbuds for the gym?

An added bonus if they don't get destroyed by 120lb dumbell like my last set.

This. I've had mine for almost 2 years with running 3-4 times a week and they still hold up. They also don't fall out of your ears so you shouldn't drop dumbells on them.

I was amazed how well they stay in my ears since ear buds NEVER stay in my ears

$190 earbuds are "decent, yet cheap"?

Amazon product ASIN B07PMCXFV9
I got two pairs of these on prime day for $18. The sound on them is pretty crappy, but they are loud, which is important to me when I'm trying to listen to podcasts while operating heavy machinery. I don't know if they would be great for music because of the sound quality, but they're fine for podcasts and the battery life on them is good.

Are noise canceling earbuds a real thing or just the placebo effect? I bought a pair of skullcandy ones that an amazon reviewer claimed made it so he couldn't hear his mower while he was mowing. Either mine were broken or that is some bullshit. I really can't tell the difference between the noise canceling ones and regular earbuds.

Lots of knock offs like these and I picked up a pair similar. The charging case was busted, and wouldn't charge, and they quickly gave me a 99% off promo code and ordered another pair off Amazon that works great.

i find the horseshoe good for the gym, only when you run, when you start circuit training, it all goes to shit when you go on the bench and the shit falls right off

yea've i have noise cancelling audio technica earbuds, rather they're my wifes Audio-Technica ATH-ANC23 QuietPoint Active Noise-Cancelling In-Ear Headphones they're good enough for cabin noise, actually never tested them out on the lawn mower (cuz i hate wires), maybe i'll give it a go this week.

or are you just asking about noise cancelling in general? it depends on the tech, the ones i linked previously work well for the lawn mower as just stand alone noise cancelling headphones, and pump out good podcast voices.
