If you like the AirPods “just works” convenience but not the price, a popular alternative is getting attention right now: soundcore by Anker wireless earbuds are listed at €19.51 on Amazon with a limited-time discount (HER says they’re usually €34.46).
These aren’t positioned as a perfect one-to-one replacement. The article notes they don’t focus on active noise cancelling, but they use oversized 10mm drivers and bass-forward tuning that can help mask background noise in everyday use.
What makes them stand out at the price:
- Soundcore app support for EQ tuning, call controls, and a “Find My Earbuds” feature.
- Battery claims: up to 10 hours per charge and 30 hours with the case.
- Big social proof: 90,000+ ratings with a 4.3-star average (per the write-up).
HER also points out why the comparison keeps coming up: the latest AirPods model is priced around €199, and reviewers in the listing describe the sound as surprisingly close for the money.
