Cupertino managed to make AirPods synonymous with wireless earbuds, at least among Apple users. But the truth is, AirPods aren’t the only – and certainly aren’t the most affordable – option for wireless personal audio. In fact, you can get just as much enjoyment for a fraction of the price.

Air Bud Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds 2.0 sport top-notch audio quality and state-of-the-art Bluetooth 4.2. So you get crisp audio, minimal bulk and maximum savings. With IPX8 waterproofing, they’re rain- and workout-ready, able to last up to three hours on a single charge.

Additionally, the included charging case makes it possible to charge the buds 10 times, meaning they’re great for commutes, gym visits and long road trips. All that for less than a third what you’ll pay for Apple’s version of the same thing.

Buy now: Get a set of Air Bud Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds for $36.99 — that’s 62 percent off the usual price. Or, get two sets of Air Buds for $69.99, a 65 percent discount.
