title says it all.

I feel like 40% of people nowadays have airpods and I want something thats a little cheaper that the 150 bucks that Airpods go for, but still has a good battery life.

any suggestions?

Check out the new Bose sunglasses with built in speakers. My buddy just bought a pair and are pretty damn cool, battery life is short(3 hours I think). Only a matter of time until they are in a goggle strap of some sort.

as far as fully wireless goes AirPods are actually at the bottom end of the scale for price, there isn't really anything below it thats competitive and not junk (please link me if I'm wrong on that), everything else is $200+. If you want cheaper you might want to consider wireless stuff that has the wire between the ears, since there are way more reasonable options in the sub 150 range. Theres a reason so many people have snagged AirPods though, probably the best post-Jobs product they've dropped, and if you have other apple devices the iCloud syncing is helpful for quick switching. Would not recommend AirPods if you're using it with non-apple stuff

I laugh to myself when I see people with AirPods. Apple lost their profit on phones but made up for it with this junk

Check out the leaders of sound. Bose is decent but sennhiser is king imo

Apple does have the advantage though because they look sleek. I hate that all Bluetooth ear buds have a wire with the battery source connecting them

I bought these cheap falwedi brand buds because they last 7 hours and the case gives another 33. Bought on Amazon for 37$ . Theyr the black ones in a rectangular rounded case. They do last 7 hours at least. And you can skip songs, take phone calls. If that helps.

i believe skullcandy makes pretty good ones. They're like airpods but they actually come in black (well at least they used to, im not to sure if they make them in black anymore but they do other colours)

I can confirm that they do come in black now. but they're also really expensive dont buy them its not worth it

I bought my AirPods on Amazon for 100 bucks and am very pleased with both the price and quality. Of course, if you need a very high-quality sound, then you need to look for professional-level headphones. And if you use them for sports, as I do, then wireless AirPods are what you need. I decided to order another fake AirPods (here you can see their review https://woahtech.com/best-fake-airpods/). They are even cheaper than the ones I bought on Amazon. So I ordered them to have an extra pair of earbuds. Because I can't do sports without music.

I have the Sony WI-1000X and I really like them. It does have something that goes around your neck tho so if thats not your style then nvm but the quality and battery life is pretty good

Galaxy buds are super nice. They fit perfectly because of the rubber tips and sound a whole lot better than airpods 1 and 2 (haven't tried the pro versions)
