Amazon's 'exceptional' £19 wireless earbuds are 'far superior' to Apple and Samsung
Don't break the bank on a pair of AirPods as these Donerton Wireless Earbuds are getting glowing reviews.
A pair of wireless headphones are a modern day must-have. From working out at the gym to commuting, they are handy for all walks of life.
While there are many brands on the market, there is no denying the popularity of Apple's AirPods. However, since they retail at up to £229 for the Pro 2 Earbuds, we are always on the hunt for something a tad cheaper.
Fortunately, tech aficionado's often rave over many other options available for less on Amazon, with these Donerton Wireless Earbuds being billed as "far superior" to many major brands - all for just £18.99 a pair.
These wireless earbuds use the 2025 Bluetooth 5.4 chip technology to deliver high-quality data transmission speed, connection stability and power consumption on a variety of devices such as Android, iOs, tablets and more.
Despite the humble price-tag, the 13mm speakers deliver "crystal clear" and "vivid" sound quality, while the Hi-Fi deep base audio and ENC noise cancellation technology blocks out background noise when listening to music, audiobooks or podcasts.
The noise cancellation will also come in handy when you need to take a phone call when commuting or out and about, as there are four built-in mics for clearer call sound quality.

Product Description
The ergonomic design is suitable for everyone, with three silicone shaped tips available to provide a secure and long-lasting fit. As they are IP7 waterproof, the earbuds are prevented from any damage caused by sweat and raindrops.
Meanwhile, the wireless charging case displays the remaining power of each earbud using dual LED technology and can provide up to 40-hours of playback, with a single fast 1.5-hour charge offering up to eight hours alone.
However, if Samsung is your preferred brand, then it is worth knowing that they are on offer for £40 less at Currys, with the brand's Galaxy Buds3 Pro now £179. Alternatively, an affordable brand is Skullcandy, with the Smokin Buds costing under £30 at Argos.

Not everyone found the noise cancellation to work, as one three-star review read: "The sound is ok for the money, in fact it's quite good. The noise counselling however is totally non-existent."
However, someone else praising the noise cancellation responded: "These headphones are brilliant. The sound is crystal clear, and the noise cancelling is good. I don't really use the buttons on them and prefer to use my phone to skip songs or pause. For the price, these bad boys are unreal."
And another five-star review read: "These buds are fantastic value for money, as they are beautifully made and packaged and the performance is exceptional. So far the battery life seems excellent and they pair to any Bluetooth equipment in seconds."
