Dollar Tree has a nice $5 knockoff of the Apple wireless earbuds, charging case (micro USB connector, so you may need to pick up one of those cables while you're there), good battery life, decent sound. Charge them in the case overnight before using. You'll probably have to hunt to find them, or order 20 for $125 (plus shipping) off the website. There are two (soon three) wireless earbuds there, thee item I've used is linked in my tagline.
These are the other ones. I’ve neither seen them nor tried them. Probably are in even shorter supply, as they don’t offer online ordering of them.

The low cost of shipping small packages from China to the United States has made it easy for small Chinese sellers to reach US consumers. Direct sales through eBay and the Amazon marketplace have boomed. Inexpensive postage allows Chinese merchants to offer free shipping to American customers. It isn't fast – international mail from China can take two weeks or more. However, the low price is attractive to both buyers and sellers.
In the past, the cost to ship a 4.4-pound package from China to the US topped out at $5.41 – less than it would cost a US eCommerce seller to ship the same item to a US address.
For example, a Chinese manufacturer could ship a t-shirt that weighs 1 pound (about 453 grams) to Cincinnati. The cost to send this small parcel from China to the US would be less than $2. To ship that same t-shirt from Miami to Cincinnati, you'd have to pay $6.70 for Priority Mail, since most domestic packages over 13 ounces must be shipped by Priority.
Although the US t-shirt in this example would arrive much more quickly, there's almost a $5 difference in shipping costs. This gave the Chinese eCommerce seller a competitive edge on shipping costs. If he can offer his products at lower prices, that's hard for a US-based seller to beat.
Now that the new Universal Postal Union treaty has gone into effect, this equation may change. Small parcel charges from China to the US have risen significantly. It's too early to tell what effect this will have on Chinese eCommerce sales to the US and other countries. However, it puts US eCommerce companies on a more equal footing with their Chinese competitors, at least in terms of shipping costs.
