Want wireless earbuds without the hefty price tag? The True Wireless Earbuds look nearly identical to Apple AirPods — and they're much, much cheaper. They're also available at a 40% discount at the moment. These Bluetooth earbuds sync up with your phone, so you can play your music and hold conversations hands-free. They also offer up to 40 hours of playtime. Once you're ready to recharge them, simply place the buds in their charging case — it's that simple!

"These earbuds are honestly amazing!" said a five-star fan. "They are unbelievably comfortable. You just head in the direction of your ear and it’s like they’re on autopilot, they just 'plop' on your ear, in the bowl part at the bottom of the ear. They don’t move, fall out twist or turn. I’ve slept in them every night and when I wake up, they’re still where I put them. ...Sound is great, bass is great."
