Gadgets: These earbuds rock

Status Audio’s limited-edition Pro X GoldenSound true wireless earbuds deliver an impressive combination of exceptional clarity, detailed, full-bodied sound, and a distinctive, eye-catching design. Although I haven’t reviewed the original Status Pro X, these earbuds made an immediate impression. From the moment I put them on, I was struck by the outstanding sound quality. Simply put, they rock. The first thing you’ll notice when you unbox the Status Pro X GoldenSound Edition is its striking appearance. This special edition features an exclusive gold-and-black color scheme that gives the earbuds a sophisticated, premium look. kAm(9:=6 62C3F5D 92G6 EC25:E:@?2==J 366? 7:?:D965 :? 3=24<[ E9:D DA64:2=\65:E:@? 6C8@?@>:4 >@56= 255D 2 8@=5 7:?:D9 E@ E96 3@EE@> E9:C5 @7 :ED F?:BF6=J C64E2?8F=2C DE6>D] %96 56D:8? :D 6J6\42E49:?8[ 2?5 E96 62C3F5D D:E 4@>7@CE23=J :?
