For this week's giveaway, we've teamed up with TRNDlabs to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win a pair of NOVA True Wireless Earbuds, which are a wireless alternative to the AirPods.

Available for $70 as part of a New Year sale, the NOVA True Wireless Earbuds connect to an iPhone or other Apple device using Bluetooth 4.1, and there are no wires connecting the two earbuds together. Several different tips are available for the NOVA to ensure a comfortable fit.


Like other earbuds of this type, the NOVA Earbuds come with a Power Case for storage and charging purposes. With the built-in battery, the earbuds offer three hours of continuous music playback, with another 60 hours provided by the Power Case.

It takes about an hour to charge the earbuds using the case, and the case itself is charged using a microUSB cable, which comes in the box. As an added bonus, the Power Case can be used as a backup battery for your phone as well.

How is that payment if MR give them away??

I’d be shocked if they didn’t pay for such a big advert
For the record, companies do not pay for our giveaways. We don't do paid posts, period. We ask that companies we partner with provide products for our readers, and in exchange, we share a bit about the product. That's it.

I wonder how much they paid for that big advert
Five sets of headphones I imagine. ;-)

Could use a set of these for the wife. My Bragi Dash work for me (albeit with some connection issues). Wireless is the way to go with the new iPhones and no headphone jack. Also keeps the baby from pulling wires out of our ears. :-D

Pick me this time MR. ;-)

Shhh...headphone jack lovers and loyalists will vilify you for that statement lol. I agree with you 100%, wireless is the way to go moving forward.

I prefer the way these look to AirPods, actually.
Obviously. Who wouldn’t prefer these to the tampon look?
