Amazon shoppers praise the Beats earbuds for being of similar quality to Apple AirPods but for a much cheaper price.
Wireless earbuds have become an everyday essential item for many Brits as they allow you to listen to your favourite music or podcast without having to get tangled up in wires while out and about. However, for those who are in the market for a new set, it can be a tough decision as there are so many to choose from.
For shoppers looking for something budget friendly but from a well known brand, Amazon has dropped the price of the Beats Studio Buds. Normally retailing for £159.99, these earbuds have been said to provide the same sound quality as the popular Apple AirPod Pros - but for a much cheaper price.
Currently on a limited time deal, shoppers can now get 56 per cent off these impressive earbuds in either black, red or white. Meaning tech lovers can pick them up for only £69 - saving a whopping £90.
The Beats earbuds are said to surround users with sound as it supports Spatial Audio to deliver an immersive experience - ideal for when watching a film or playing a game on a connected device. In order to ensure a comfortable fit, the earbuds also come with three soft, silicone eatip sizes so shoppers can choose which suits them best.
The earbuds are also compatible with both Apple and Android devices, although it should be noted that Android users will need to download the Beats app to have access to built-in controls, battery levels and updates. In terms of playback, these earbuds will provide up to 24 hours listening time when used with the charging case.
The earbuds also come with two distinct listening modes that users can easily switch between - Active Noise Cancelling and Transparency mode. On top of this, the built-in microphones are said to deliver a high-quality call performance and allow voice assistant interaction.
For those who would rather an Apple product, Amazon has slashed £40 off the Apple AirPods 2. Normally retailing for £229, savvy shoppers can now grab these popular earbuds for £189 in the sale. Equipped with the first-ever earbud hearing aid feature, many shoppers have been shocked by the quality of sound that this device brings.
Alternatively, Argos has slashed the price of the JLab JBuds Air Pro Earbuds. Normally retailing for £69.99, shoppers can now buy these budget-friendly earbuds for only £39.99. With a total playback time of 36 hours with the charging case, these earbuds are equipped with Bluetooth Multipoint so they can seamlessly move between devices.
However, for those interested in the Beats Studio Buds, they currently have a four-star rating thanks to more than 10,800 ratings from shoppers. Many reviewers have raved about the earbuds, with a few admitting that they were bought as a temporary replacement for Apple but ended up sticking with the Beats device instead.
One happy shopper said: "I bought these as a temp replacement for my drowned AirPod pros. I won't be buying the AirPods - these have all the convenience of the AirPods with auto connect and noise cancellation but the sound , for me, knocks spots off the AirPod - deep bass and tingling high end - these are incredible."
Another five-star reviewer added: "My old AirPods pro were defective with a rattling sound so I need a new one. I have tried these Beats headphones and it's the best choice I could ever have done.
"The sound quality is basically IDENTICAL to the AirPods pro, with clean sound, loud enough and strong and deep bass, amazing. The buttons to change song are way easier to click with just one finger tap compared to apple"
However, they did note: "The microphone quality is average, the person listening to us might struggle to hear our voice if we are on the street or in busy environments, but for me it's ok as the main thing is the music experience."
Another shopper also grumbled: "Thought they would be better than they were. Very tinny for the price, low volume even if I turned it up on my phone. App did very little. Connectivity was poor as if I left a room it would disconnect with a range of 2-3 meters."
Despite this, one person said: "Honestly very impressed with the product, the noise cancellation is great, you can choose between 3 settings and they are snug and sexy looking. But not to mention much cheaper than AirPods, I have an apple phone and they pair perfectly just like AirPods but more bang for your buck. I would rate this a good 9/10."
While a fifth shopper praised: "Really easy to charge and seems to hold charge for ages. Really comfortable and not heavy in ear. Good sound quality too."
