Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has joined forces with athletic brand Under Armour in what could be one of the biggest tag-team collaborations in recent memory. And no, he’s not making a return to the ring (at least not at the moment). We’re talking a tried and true workout companion: The Rock earbuds.

Johnson took to Instagram on May 30 to announce the launch of his highly anticipated Project Rock True Wireless In-Ear headphones, which were made in partnership

Crafted with a durable, sweat-proof material that will sit secure in your ear as you move, The Rock earbuds were designed specifically for the workout grind. And, seeing as they’ve been put through the Iron Paradise test by Mr. Johnson himself, you know these are the real deal.

The Project Rock True Wireless In-Ear Headphones are built to withstand any type of workout, too, whether you’re sweating up a storm in the gym pumping iron or running trails in the great outdoors. Under Armour lent a helping hand with its UA Storm technology with an IPXL7 rating, giving The Rock earbuds a lasting, water- and sweat-proof protection barrier to ensure your headphones can keep up with your training. The team even went one step further and added much-needed anti-microbial ear tips to help stave off bacterial growth. Thank you for the clean ears, Dwayne!

Offering winged ear-tip enhancers, these in-ear headphones are engineered to stay comfortably in place, no matter your motion. They are also built with UA Talk-Thru tech, which means you don’t have to take the headphones off to have a conversation. Instead, the headphones function by a simple touch of the Brahma bull on the side, which triggers the noise-canceling feature to allow you to speak and be heard. 

And yes, there’s more. The Rock earbuds play host to up to five hours of battery life within a rugged, aluminum 20-hour charging case to make sure your music and motivation last until your workout is complete.

The earbuds are currently sold out (they went super quick), but you can sign up to be notified when they are back in stock.

How to plan your Glacier National Park visit for 2025: Reservation deadlines and key rules
Here's what Glacier National Park's new reservation system will mean for you in 2025
Hiking Glacier National Park in Montana.

Glacier National Park is one of the most gorgeous ones in the United States, so it's not a surprise that it saw almost three million visitors in 2023. Visitors can't get enough of Going-to-the-Sun Road, Lake McDonald, and the many lakes and glaciers in the area — the best time to visit Glacier National Park is often the busiest time. Because of the congestion in recent years, the National Park Service had previously enacted a reservation system for entry to the park as part of a pilot program. The National Park Service recently revealed this will continue in 2025, including timed entry reservations for the west side of Going-to-the-Sun Road and the North Fork — here's what you need to know.
Here's how it will look like going into 2025

When temperatures drop, and the wind starts howling, heat loss while winter camping can quickly turn a cozy night into a frosty one. The secret to keeping your tent warm isn't about getting the most high-tech gear. Actually, it lies in understanding how heat escapes. From the cold ground beneath you to the sneaky drafts around your tent, each type of heat loss plays a role in how well your tent holds onto warmth. In this article, we'll explore the various ways that heat can sneak away from your tent, as well as how to insulate a tent for winter camping.
Types of heat loss while winter camping and how to avoid them

There are several ways your body and tent lose heat: conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation. Here's how to avoid all four:
