AirPods are reliable earbuds as much as they are a status symbol, and like all sought-after tech<\/a> products, they come with a clout tax. Luckily, we found a suitable stand-in at a fraction of the cost that one reviewer<\/a> says is \u201ca steal for quality\u201d and that they \u201crun CIRCLES around AirPod Pros.\u201d<\/p>\n

These ultra-light earbuds have a case that supports wireless charging, but, according to some reviews, you won\u2019t be doing much as they support up to 10 hours of battery life on a single playback.<\/p>\n

They have an excellent range for listening to podcasts, music and voice calls, plus, when paired with the Anker app, you can toggle its equalizer for a full custom sound. They also have a transparency mode, letting you hear your surroundings when they\u2019re in-ear, so you won\u2019t miss anyone calling your name or a passerby on your next run.<\/p>\n

Using them on calls is easy, too, and many say they\u2019re very comfy to use. \u201cThese little earbuds surprised me with their high quality sound and how insanely comfortable they were in my ears,\u201d says Dean G<\/a>. \u201cI don\u2019t need a high level of sound dampening but they work great in the train tunnel during my commute, and I can still hear well enough when they\u2019re in Transparency mode. Using the app is easy and personalizes the buds to my preferences. The buds also have a fantastic range which can handle the bass in dance, rock, and whatever else I\u2019m listening to, even at higher volumes. Plus, when I receive calls, the other person can hear me clearly!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c[\u2026] Enter these Anker Space A40\u2032s… The very good to excellent: These don\u2019t break the bank at $60ish dollars. I\u2019ve seen them on sale for ~$50 so watch for that. Deep base, very clear treble, the ability to customize the sound… the list goes on and on. These things run CIRCLES around my Airpod Pro\u2019s -even when they worked. How do I know that? Because my wife also has \u201cworking\u201d Airpod Pro\u2019s and I used my right ear to play several songs using the A40\u2032s while at the same time I used my wifes phone to play the exact same song (yes it was hard to synchronize that) using her left Airpod Pro. Sorry Apple, your product doesn\u2019t sound as rich at 4-5 times the cost. Yes, they noise cancel better; other than that, you are miles ahead buying these Anker Space A40\u2032s – even if they only last a year or 2. I\u2019m highly impressed. On a budget? You\u2019ll feel like you spent $250 on the Ankers but actually a fraction of that. Buy them. Edit: Oh, forgot to add this: average battery life is 6-7 hours before I get a \u201cbattery low\u201d message 10 minutes before they die. Airpod Pro\u2019s? 3.5 hours\u2026 yeah, double the battery life of Apple.\u201d \u2014 J. Hart<\/a> [This review has been edited for length. Read the full review<\/a>.]<\/p>\n

\u201cThese headphones are great. These are part of my every day items. I don\u2019t like to leave the house without these. (I proof read, and I\u2019m re typing this after, sorry for sounding like an NPC haha). I have asked for a lot of feedback when I\u2019m talking to others, because I want to make sure they aren\u2019t getting crazy feedback from my end and wind noise etc. They say I sound very clear, and they do mention some wind noise but I also have the Soundcore P40i. I just got them, and on the app for those, they have a wind reduction option. So honestly, if you want a great LOUD headphone with the Transparent mode also, go with the P40i. If you ride motorcycles especially, I would recommend these, or the soundcore buds that have transparent mode. If you ride with a helmet, these are great to be able to hear horns and ambulances without the price tag of beats, or pods. These headphones are priced so fair. The first pair I bought was the P20i. Over a year ago and still have them and they are working so well still. I just got the P40i the other day and those are the most insane sounding ear buds I\u2019ve ever used. They have the most bass and clear sounding vocals I\u2019ve ever heard on a headphone. Go Soundcore, go with the in the ear, ear buds though. Don\u2019t get the old school apple white corded ear phones, get the in the ear with the replaceable tips. I am in welding school and it gets loud. These help get rid of most of the noise, and have protected my ears from Sparks as well as slag(hardened flux that protects the weld, but is still soooo hot). \ud83d\ude42 if you\u2019re a reader, I hope we had some fun till now, and if not, sorry lol. Take care friends and please, give soundcore a try, their quality isn\u2019t defined by their cost. In this case, a fair cost for a GREAT product.\u201d \u2014 SeekYahusha<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI am very impressed with their performance. Here is my breakdown:\\
Sound Quality: These headphones sound very good. In fact, I would say the audio quality is just as impressive as the AirPods Pro 2. The clarity and balance are excellent for this price point.
Battery Life: The battery life is solid and definitely meets my expectations for daily use.
The \u201cArtifact\u201d Issue: I did discover one minor problem. When I switch between different ANC profiles (moving from Transparency mode to Noise Cancelling or other modes), the headphones produce some strange \u201cartifact\u201d noises. It\u2019s a bit distracting when it happens.
Conclusion: Since I don\u2019t switch between ANC profiles very often, this isn\u2019t a dealbreaker for me. If you stay in one mode most of the time, they are a fantastic pair of earbuds.
Pros: Excellent sound, comparable to high-end brands, good battery. Cons: Distorted noise\/artifacts when toggling through ANC modes.\u201d \u2014 Marius Gutu<\/a><\/p>\n

The Real Deal: We use deal trackers and commerce experience to sift through \u201cfake\u201d hike-and-drop deals and other deceptive sales tactics. Products will usually be rated at least 4 stars with a minimum 15% discount. (And when there\u2019s an exception, we\u2019ll tell you why.) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AirPods are reliable earbuds as much as they are a status symbol, and like all sought-after tech products,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":509882,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[960,49849,1426,1245,172,74],"class_list":["post-509881","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-amazon","tag-earbuds","tag-headphones","tag-sales","tag-tech","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=509881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509881\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/509882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=509881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=509881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=509881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
