A good set of earbuds can add some joy to commutes, or make hardy gym sessions a touch easier with music or a good audiobook. On Amazon, one set of earbuds has shoppers 'blown away' - and they're heavily discounted.
These Drsaec Wireless Earbuds are currently priced at £19.99, with a whopping 80% discount from its usual price tag of £99.99. There is a host of colours available, from bright purple to light white, but some colourways are priced slightly higher at £21.99.
With an average rating of five out of five, from nearly 200 reviews at the time of writing, its Bluetooth 5.4 tech means buyers can stay connected without interruption for up to 15 metres from their phone or device. After the first time pairing, the earbuds automatically connect to phones when taken out of the included charging case, the site says.
While each earbud has up to eight hours of playtime, the included case brings it up to 56 hours. The handy LED display on the front shows individual battery levels for both earbuds and the case itself.
There's the added bonus of charging via a universal USB-C too, meaning most phones use the same type of charging cable as these buds. Their IP7 rating means they're dust resistant and can be submerged in water at a depth of one metre for up to 30 minutes, so buyers can be worry free with its coated surface, perfect for running or gym sessions.
With touch controls included, buyers can increase or decrease the volume, skip songs and even answer calls without having to pull their phone out. The buds also feature an 'ergonomic design' that 'ensures pressure-free wear', according to the brand, with a single headset weighing only 3g for a comfy and light fit.
With 13mm audio drivers, buyers praise the 'deep bass, crisp highs, and immersive audio', while its noise-cancelling means unwanted disturbances like traffic are blocked out, thanks to the four built-in microphones monitoring outside sound. With Amazon Prime, the brand reminds buyers they can receive their earbuds with next-day delivery.
Buyers after a striking aesthetic with a great performance to match could look at Argos' Nothing Ear (a) True Wireless Earbuds - White, currently priced at £59, down from £89, saving a third. These feature up to 45 decibels (dB) of active noise-cancellation, clear voice technology, and are IP54 dust, sweat and water-resistant, the brand says.
Alternatively, buyers could look at Currys' Soundcore R50i NC Wireless Bluetooth Noise-Cancelling Earbuds - Black, currently priced at £17.99, down from £39.99, saving a handy £22. Available in black or white, these feature active noise-cancellation, along with up to 10 hours of battery life or 45 hours including the case, and a two-year guarantee.
