Cut the Cord and Enjoy Your Music with Jabra Step Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Earbuds-Giveaway

In fact, on a recent plane trip I had to hold the connector of my favourite pair of earbuds into the outlet through my entire flight because it wasn’t registering otherwise.

That’s why when I love using wireless earbuds for my phone. And for inexpensive yet high-quality earbuds, Jabra is a great choice.
