You’ve probably never heard of Phazon but the Montreal-based startup is getting ready to launch its first product—an Indiegogo-funded one-size-fits-all wireless earbud aimed at athletes and people with active lifestyles.

The earbuds will sell for $199 when they become available at retail in November but you can preorder them now for $179.

The company raised just shy of $2 million in January for the buds, which are described as ideal for use during workouts, swimming, and outdoor activities. In addition to being shockproof, dustproof, and submersible in up to 10 feet of water, the Bluetooth-enabled earbuds are “guaranteed to never fall out of your ears.”

The battery-powered earbuds are good for up to 6 hours of continuous play time on a single charge and come with a nifty key chain charging case that stores enough juice for three additional charges. Music playback is controlled by simply tapping on the earbud: One tap for play/pause, two for next track, and three for previous track; to turn the buds on or off press and hold for 3 seconds.

Seven “playful” colors are offered: red, green, purple, two shades of gray, blue, and orange.
