The best part of mowing the lawn.

How much does motivation cost? We’ve all known someone - or been someone - who signed up for a gym membership because the expense would be a little extra goad to get them to the gym. Or bought a fancy lawnmower for the same reason: you’ve spent all this money, it’s extra-stupid not to use it.

These earbuds won’t help you with a lot of life’s unwanted drudgery. You shouldn’t wear them while driving. You should keep them off when you’re watching kids. And much as you might wish you could, you probably shouldn’t use them to avoid the idiots you have to deal with at work.

But for those times when you can use them, a decent set of earbuds is the cheapest motivation you can buy, along with a good podcast or audiobook. Wedge these A-Audio Earbuds into your canal and turn chore time into you time. If it makes you 10% more likely to work out, or mow the lawn, or walk the dog, or wash the dishes, or vacuum, that seems like a bargain to us.

These earbuds are nothing special in and of themselves. They’re middle-of-the-road in a good way. Much better than the cheap ones, but not so much better that they’re, like, too nice. We thought about charging more for them just so you wouldn’t think they’re total garbage. Let’s just say, they’re more than adequate for chore work, but you won’t be paying for frequencies you can’t hear over the lawnmower or the elliptical.

Of course we all want the satisfaction of a neatly trimmed lawn or a newly trim waistline. It’s getting there that sucks. With these earbuds and something engrossing to listen to, you might even find yourself wishing your lawn and/or your gut were a little bigger.
