As wireless Bluetooth earbuds become the norm, Apple’s expensive, stormtrooper earing-looking buds look less appealing. Instead of AirPods, consider AirBeans — they’re a high quality, noise-canceling, more affordable, and honestly just cooler looking set of buds. Right now you can get a set of AirBeans for $69.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.
Bluetooth 4.1 technology means quick syncing, with noise and echo cancellation that makes for much better sound and easier conversations. Plus the AirBeans come with a magnetic charging case that automatically juices up the earbuds up whenever they’re not in use. That means up to 6 hours of additional playback time while you’re out and about. Sorry Apple, we’ve found some better buds, er, beans.
