An Affordable Alternative to AirPods

An Affordable Alternative to AirPods

 

Let’s be real. We all lowkey would like a pair of AirPods. Honestly, they look cool and have great sound quality as well as features. However, the price of these Bluetooth earphones is a bit absurd and unaffordable for most people. AirPods are priced at $159.00 Which is a lot of money for earphones. The cheapest way to get a pair of AirPods is to buy used ones, or purchase them from HSN or QVC which lets you pay in monthly  installments. I feel AirPods are quickly becoming a fad. Everyone wants them, because everyone has them. There is difference between actually wanting something and wanting to feel included. I love Bluetooth products. I love the feeling of not being limited by wires. I was tempted to bu AirPods; however, something told me not to. I listened to my intuition and explored different options. Eventually, I stumbled upon JLAB’s  True  Wireless Earbuds. Initially, I was skeptical to purchase them, because I had never heard of the company. However, after reading its features, reviews, and realizing the price of these earbuds, I was sold. These earbuds offer you 13-14 hours Bluetooth playtime with the charging case, and Class 1 Bluetooth 5 connection for clear, bold sound. In addition to that they are IP55 sweat resistance, have 3 EQ sound settings: JLab Signature, Balanced, Bass Boost, and auto on & connect out of the case. All for, drumroll please…$49.00. Ideally, you are looking at almost a $100 difference from the price of AirPods. For $100 less you are getting most of the same features. Also, these earbuds are sweat and dust resistant while AirPods are  not. Included with your purchase you receive two year warranty in addition to a 3 month free trial of Pandora Premium. These earbuds are great for the price. The sound quality is pretty clear, and its features are great. I couldn’t be more happier and satisfied  with my purchase. Also, I saved almost $100, so that’s great as well. I recommend these earbuds to everyone. JLAB also offers additional  wireless earbuds in addition to regular headphones and speakers. Attached is the link to their website. Choose wisely!
