Wireless earphones are rapidly outnumbering their soon-obsolete wired counterparts. The market is now swimming with a deluge of options, but the fact remains that 100 percent wire-free earbuds aren't cheap. The prices get even more ridiculous when the listening tech is advertised as "sports" headphones or "workout" earbuds.
