Since most smartphones abandoned the headphone jack, wireless earbuds have become a must-have tech accessory and Apple AirPods<\/a> have been among the most popular. If you\u2019re not keen to spend that much on earbuds though, or if you\u2019re not much of a fan of Apple, there are some fantastic alternatives to AirPods on the market today. Here\u2019s our complete run-down of the best.<\/p>\n

First off, it\u2019s worth noting why Apple\u2019s AirPods have been so popular. Partly, it\u2019s because iPhones have been quite so popular here in the UK. For iPhone users, AirPods offer an almost unrivalled user experience. They\u2019re simple to pair and come with a wealth of features that make them intuitive and easy to use. That experience comes at a price though \u2014 starting with the \u00a3119 AirPods (2nd Gen)<\/a>, to the latest \u00a3169 AirPods (3rd Gen)<\/a>, the \u00a3239 AirPods Pro<\/a> and the over-ear \u00a3549 AirPods Max<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the AirPods range genuinely offers very good sound, they\u2019re market leaders in terms of ease of use and user experience, rather than being market leaders in terms of sheer sound quality. So, if you\u2019re an audiophile with an Android phone<\/a>, it may pay to look elsewhere.<\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re on the hunt for some non-Apple earbuds, take a look at the suggestions below. The RadioTimes.com<\/strong> team have been reviewing and researching a wide range of alternatives to help you find your perfect earbuds.<\/p>\n

Still, considering Apple AirPods? Head over to our Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) review<\/a> and AirPods Pro review<\/a> to find out our thoughts, or take a look at this AirPods vs AirPods Pro<\/a> guide.<\/p>\n
