With the release of the Iphone 7 and its controversial removal of the headphone jack, Apple has pushed their wireless Airpods as a better alternative for the traditional wired earphones. But as the world waits for the release of the Airpods, here are the top wireless earpods that have beaten Apple to the punch.
Air by crazybaby is the cheapest of the bunch but doesn't skimp out on the features. It has all the features of Apple's Airpods including, Bluetooth pairing, tap to play technology and full stereo sound. Charging is done by placing the pods in a sleek container while the battery lasts the a whole day of listening once fully charged. The earpod also comes with own voice command software that can operate regardless of Siri or Google Now. But the best feature for Air is the price. At $89.99 it costs only half the price of Apple's Earpods.
For $179.0 the Erato Muse5 is a more expensive option than the Air but has better sound quality. The Erato Muse5 focuses of sound quality with its use of DSP technology while also provides comfort and ease of use. It comes with their patented Fitsteel Sleeves that excellent fit and superior sound quality. But what separates the Erato is its waterproof capabilities which is the perfect choice for runners and fitness enthusiasts who listen to music during a workout.
The EARIN M-1 on the other hand doesn't offer any unique features. But these earphones are made for audiophiles as these offer the best sound quality for a wireless earphone. They're billed as the smallest and lightest earbuds on the market and the sound quality is the best that wireless earphones can produce. The EARIN M-1 has two dedicated amps that create punchy sound with excellent mids and highs and tight, boomy bass. They cost at $199.00 which makes them more expensive than Apples Airpods but if sound quality is your main priority, these are your best bet.
If you want the best features and a fitness buff, the BRAGI Dash could be your option. The Dash offers 4GB of storage, a real time heart rate and fitness tracker and different sized ear sleeves for a custom fit. It's the only earpod on this list that can work without pairing a smartphone. With 4GB of storage, you can store about 1000 mp3 files on The Dash which is more than enough for a workout. But at $300.00 this is earpod may be best suited for fitness nerds.
Regardless of which type of consumer you are, there's always a perfect earpod for you. But it you're an Apple loyalist and want the best iphone and earphone connectivity, the Apple Airpods are still a viable option. Just remember that they're not the only choice out there.
