There are a lot of things to love about AirPods: In fact, they’re one of the best Apple accessories out there. But one thing that’s not so hot about them? The $159 price tag (which goes up to $199 if you want a wireless charging case).

The price is especially forbidding considering how easily the little buds can be lost, dropped or stolen.

With that in mind, we’re always looking for high-quality AirPods alternatives — and the AirBlast Pro Wireless Earbuds are the best we’ve found. Even better, today their price dropped to just $39.99 — an 80% discount from the regular price of $199. That’s a fraction of the price of AirPods. So, if you’re likely to lose them, well, these wireless earbuds could be a much smarter buy.

Inexpensive AirPods alternatives

These excellent earbuds are the latest version from the bestselling brand, with features comparable to Apple’s earbuds and a price tag that’s far easier on the wallet. These totally wireless buds use advanced Bluetooth 5.1 technology for top sound quality and wireless connectivity within a huge 49-foot operating range. They also come with wireless charging capability.

When it comes to battery life, these earbuds really excel. Just one hour of charging will give you three hours of wireless playback time. And when you top them off with their wireless charging case, you’ll get an extra eight hours of nonstop wireless listening.

Of course, when it comes to earbuds, sound quality is essential, too — and these boast even better Hi-Fi sound than their predecessors. You can use the left or right channels individually, or connect them seamlessly as a pair.

Save on AirBlast Pro Wireless Earbuds

Get your own pair of these fine AirPods alternatives: AirBlast Pro Wireless Earbuds. They’re usually $199, but you can slash 80% off for a limited time and snag a pair for just $39.99.
