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!

United KingdomAfter much research following a couple of failed ear pods I came across Wireless gadgets who claimed to offer the best alternative Airpods. After more research I came back to Wireless gadgets (especially after learning that it is a new small UK company) and decided to give them a go. I am so glad I did. They are just like the Apple Airpods and the Matt Black are so stylish - much better than the white. Once ordered I received excellent communication about the order and even a couple of welcome ones from Rich the owner who also provided a user guide (much easier to read than the little booklet that comes with the product. They arrived within 4days and I must say I am impressed with the quality and sound and so easy to set up - took minutes. Switched on Bluetooth and my phone found and connected almost immediately. I had not hesitation about giving wireless gadgets and the Airpods 5 stars. I have only had them a few days so can't give you much about the battery. maybe post again in a month or so.
United KingdomClear sound. Easy to install. Easy to charge. Nothing not to like. Easy to order, quick delivery, lovely messages re order.
United KingdomThey Came very quickly. They are well made, work well. I would recommend them.. Thank you Rich.
United KingdomOrdered two for Christmas presents and have just ordered two more. Great product.
