Best Airpod Alternatives Black or White (2020 Version)
Launched in 2020, these are our 3rd generation, and best earbuds yet. These are not Apple Airpods® but instead a great alternative for a fraction of the price!
Since Apple launched its Airpods in 2016 they have taken the world by storm, and rightly so. They are an amazing wireless gadget that has become essential for anyone who likes listening to music, audiobooks, podcasts, etc. The downside to this freedom is that they are not cheap!
There are hundreds of really cheap Airpod clones available these days. The trouble is you end up playing 'retail roulette' as to what you actually get. Most clones are far inferior to the originals (particularly in terms of reliability, sound quality, and battery life).
Even if the product looks the same, the internal parts can vary greatly! The upshot is that it is very difficult to know if what you're buying is any good. Inevitably, you get what you pay for - there is a reason the deals on Amazon, Wowcher, e-bay, Airbuds, i7Pro, Blackpods, etc. are so cheap!
If you are unsure whether a website is genuine, please read our 7 Tips to spotting a fake e-commerce website. Whatever you do, please read these independent Airbuds reviews before you make your decision!
If, on the other hand, you want the best quality earbuds at a sensible price, then you're in the right place. All our earbuds are comparable to the leading brand in terms of looks, features, sound, and build quality. We offer a full one year warranty to back this up.
If you would like to know exactly how our wireless earphones compare to the leading brand, please take a look at our earphone comparison video below. The only significant difference is that our battery life is not quite as good (2.5 hours vs 4.5 hours on a single charge)....
AirPods are a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.
What they do...
Our amazing alternatives wirelessly connect to any Bluetooth device that plays music. Most commonly this will be a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or smartwatch (regardless of brand).
Simple to operate, they let you listen to music, or take phone calls, whilst on the go. Just like the big old fashioned earphones but with full flexibility and a real sense of freedom.
They make a perfect gift for anyone who likes Apple Airpods® but does not want to pay around £200 for the privilege!

I haven't used the item as it is Christmas present for my daughter . However I will let you know then . I do appreciate the great service you provide , it's comforting to know that you are at the end of an email if I require any help , most companies these days don't care that much .Thank you so much for that .
Thanks Terry, I'm sure your daughter will love them! Any issues, you know where we are... :o) Rich. (Owner)
The AirPods are great they seem just as good as the Apple ones (my daughter as them)would definitely recommend
Very easy to purchase prompt delivery a great price, a good quality product sound is great easy to connect I would buy them again
I bought these earphones as a test, but they are great and work just like normal airpods, but at a reasonable price. They connect very easily to my iphone and to my laptop so I can take calls wirelessly. The microphone in both airpods also makes it great to share them with a friend so that you can both speak on the same call. I would highly recommend if you're not wanting to fork out for the real deal.
Thanks for the kind review and photos Philippa!!
