low-key flex of putting them in while browsing the aisles at Sainsbury’s. But after losing my second pair in just over a year, the idea of shelling out £140 for a replacement was more than I
could stomach. Having previously bought some Amazon "bargain" earbuds for my children, I decided that if I can't be trusted with pricey ones anymore, I'll have to follow
suit. I hopped onto Amazon, found a similar style from a brand I'd never heard of and purchased them on the spot. Priced at £12.99, they arrived with no fancy packaging and a rather
basic spec, so my expectations were low. But months later, I'm still using them - and I don't miss my AirPods in the slightest. READ MORE: SAMSUNG SHOPPERS RUSH TO GET NEW £15

upgraded Bluetooth 5.3 technology that provides a surprisingly quick and stable connection. They paired easily with my phone the first time and always reconnect after charging. The battery
life is quite decent too. I manage to get roughly 6 hours of use from them, although I do find the case needs charging more frequently than my Apple AirPod case ever did, reports the Mirror.
£13 Earbuds from Amazon £12.99 Amazon Buy Now on Amazon The bargain buds are a brilliant buy I'm not one for technical details, but according to Amazon, these earbuds have
"dynamic drivers deliver rich sound with deep bass, while ENC noise reduction and four built-in microphones provide clear calls by filtering out background noise." They've
genuinely impressed me with a solid bass presence for tunes and clear, crisp audio for podcasts or catching up on apps. Plus, they’ve got slick smart touch controls to manage music, take
calls, or adjust the volume just by tapping either earpiece. Despite my knack for breaking or misplacing stuff, I've not tested their resilience against water yet. However, Amazon lists
them with an IPX8 waterproof rating, so they're ready to brave the rain and handle sweat like champs. So here's the score: they look sharp, sound ace and only set me back £12.99.
Honestly, I could lose and rebuy them a dozen times over and still have change to spare. Trust me, at least one pair will be tagging along on my holiday this year. I've even invested in
a nifty little case with a clip to keep them within reach at all times. But let’s not forget, the market is teeming with budget-friendly alternatives to the more expensive models with many

staying secure even during my most intense workouts, and are so comfortable I often forget I'm wearing them." A third customer was equally impressed, saying: "Easy to connect

voice their concerns, noting: "Battery life is short in comparison to others I have owned. Sound quality and volume are good. Charging case also doesn't hold as much charge as
previous ones I've owned." Yet another customer left a rave review, impressed by the value for money: "I cannot believe the quality and sound for the price, absolutely
brilliant. They look similar to a £200+ pair of Airpods, without the hefty price tag. I will definitely recommend to friends and will purchase as gifts."
