Alternative To Airpods
Looking for a rec. Earbuds that sound better, stay in better, are as convenient, and area cheaper than Airpods.

I don't know about sounding better, my ears are not as good as they used to be, but I've had good experience with the Anker Soundcore Liberty Neo. I walk (not run) with them and they stay on. If those break, I was going to try the Jabra Elite 65t which is the cheapest since it's the oldest model available (there's a 75t and an 85t). Granted I have a Samsung and some people want the easy compatibility with other iDevices.

I like and want the ease of connecting to my iPhone, I’m just tired of forking over $$ every few months when someone in the household loses their Airpods!

![]() I always get these. They meet all your specs, and they have the advantage of having a cord connecting them so they don’t get lost as easily. |

I use these to listen to podcasts and the like during my morning constitutional. Bulkier than AB's but the apple stuff has never fit my ear worth a good-gol'dang.
They sound OK for music, I guess. The into to the Conan O'Brien podcast sounds fine. ![]()

The gf and I both use Skullcandy. However, I haven't had much of a use for them lately.

I got my Skullcandy Ink'd Wireless from Ross Dress for Less. I think it was $17.

Tweeze and I both have a pair of TOZO T10s on a
Amazon. Great sounding buds that last a long time for $35! I use mine working in the yard and garage all the time! |

I’m not an audiophile by any stretch but I have been using MPow ear buds with good results.

These. Great sound. Uses an Apple chip. Great battery life.

entertaining the idea

I have the Samsung Galaxy Ear Buds+. They say " Sound by AKG" on the case.
I'm happy with them. They are about half the price of Apple ear buds and they offer a trade in on old ear buds. They gave me $20 for an old pair of corded earbuds that came with a previous phone. I also used a government employee discount and a promotional discount because I bought them with my phone. I think I ended up paying around $40 for them.

I have a pair of the skull candy wireless buds, easy interface, comfortable, good sound and about half the cost or airpods. I would recommend the brand.

Maybe they've improved, but I've had two pairs of skull candy earphones (earbud and over ear) that were complete garbage. And they weren't cheap.
