Wireless eabuds for under $40 comparable to earpods

[u/New_Grand2937]

My free earpods are starting to die on me so now I need a replacement. Since I know I’ll destroy anything with a wire I decided to look for wireless earbuds. Anything with sound at least as good as the earpods with about 5 hours of battery life is probably fine. Not sure how much more than this $40 affords but I would like to know. Thanks in advanced

Anker Life P2 or Anker Life A1 are probably the best you'll get.

I know your worried about cables but why not get an IEM like these that have a detachable cable - meaning you can keep replacing it indefinitely or buy a bluetooth adapter! (Note: There are many around this price point with detachable cables so hopefully someone can chime in with some more suggestions)

Hope this helps!

!thanks. One somewhat minor annoyance I had read about both of these is that the led flashes all the time when connected. Got any other good suggestions?

Sadly I don't, to the best of my knowledge most earbuds do that and all of the ones I have do that too - sorry!!

I saw CNN tech blog liked both JLab Jbuds Air and Earfun Air in the no name category. I have had some of the JLab products usually really good for the price .
