Best AirPod Clones for Cheap
These AirPod alternatives cost less and are just as powerful.
Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you know that Apple recently released their AirPods. These wireless earbuds offer Bluetooth technology, also charge wirelessly, and are designed to seamlessly integrate into the general Apple universe with their iPhones, Apple Watches, and other devices. But they also cost $199, meaning that for many consumers—even current Apple consumers—they’re not a realistic option. So, what’s a person to do when they want to be one of the cool kids with wireless earbuds but they don’t necessarily want to spend $200? They find these affordable alternatives that cost a fraction of the price and offer the same features.
