Shoppers ditch Apple AirPods for ‘fantastic’ earbuds that are €180 cheaper

Best AirPod Dupe

Shoppers are ditching Apple for these affordable earbuds that “rival AirPods any day of the week”.

They're the Soundcore by Anker wireless earbuds, which currently come with a limited-time discount.

Usually priced at €34.46, you can now grab the popular earphones for just €19.51 on Amazon.

They’re available in five different colours, including blue and pink. However, the black and white versions are the cheapest option at €19.51.

Unlike AirPods, these earbuds don’t feature active noise cancelling. However, the oversized 10mm drivers deliver powerful sound with boosted bass that helps block out background noise.

You can also connect them to the Soundcore app to customise the sound settings, manage phone calls, and use the “Find My Earbuds” feature to locate a lost earbud.

The battery lasts up to 30 hours when recharged regularly using the charging case, and up to 10 hours on a single charge.

More than 90,000 shoppers have tried and tested these earbuds, giving them an impressive average rating of 4.3 stars on Amazon.

Many customers have compared them to the more expensive Apple AirPods, with the latest model costing around €199.

One shopper wrote in a five-star review: “Fantastic, love Anker products as a rule. These earphones rival Apple AirPods any day of the week. I have both and love these equally as much. Lightweight, durable, and the battery lasts ages.”

Another reviewer said: “The audio is up there with AirPods which are 10x the price. The sound is brilliant. I would recommend these if you're on a budget and want something close to AirPod quality.”

A third customer added: “Much prefer these to the Apple AirPods they replaced! Great sound, battery life, and comfort. The app makes adjusting the equaliser very easy.”

Other shoppers described them as “essentially the same quality despite the price difference” and called them the “best AirPod dupe”.
