TicPods Free, a platform agnostic AirPods alternative, gets its first price drop to $90 (Reg. $130)

$90

MobvoiUS (99% lifetime positive feedback) via Amazon is offering its TicPods Free Truly Wireless Headphones for $89.99 shipped when the on-page coupon has been clipped. That’s $40 off the typical rate there and is the first price drop we’ve tracked. Unlike AirPods, these headphones offer an IPX5 waterproof rating, allowing them to be both splashed and rinsed by water. They pack 4 hours of power on a single charge along with the case, which provides an additional 14 hours. Rated 4+ stars from nearly 65% of reviewers.
