9 Impressive Wireless Earbuds That Are Not AirPods
Apple just revealed the AirPods Pro last month, and we’ve been coveting them since then. These powerful wireless earbuds aren’t just convenient and hassle-free but come with other features that make your life easier: a top-notch noise-canceling system, a transparency feature that lets you listen to music while hearing your surroundings, and it also promises up to 24 hours of battery life. AirPods are undeniably perceived as the standard when it comes to wireless audio technology, but there are other alternatives that offer features that are just as impressive. Here are their highlights and how much they cost:
