Exercise-focused Bluetooth earphones are officially a trend—manufacturers have figured out most people don't want cables slapping them in the face and torso while they workout. Skullcandy's $99.99 XTfree is a model that follows an increasingly common template: a short cable rests behind the head and specialized eartips provide an extra-secure fit.
