£16 'easy to pair' wireless earbuds shoppers are 'replacing Apple AirPods' for

A good pair of wireless earbuds don't have to cost a fortune
In a world of ever-evolving technology and new gadgets coming out all the time, it can be both overwhelming and expensive figuring out the best buy. Headphones and earbuds have become an essential - but they can come at a big cost.
Earbuds in particular can be a great addition for the gym, runs, or to simply listen to music while travelling, as they're ultra-portable and don't get in the way. With many on the market at high prices, shoppers who want to save some money are now in luck. The soundcore by Anker P20i True Wireless Earbuds are now down to £15.98 on Amazon from £29.99 and could be an ideal alternative to higher priced Apple AirPods.
These earbuds, which are available in the shades black, blue, pink, navy and white, are described to have oversized 10mm drivers that deliver powerful sound with boosted bass to amplify listeners' favourite songs. With the use of the soundcore app, shoppers can also customise the controls on their earbuds and choose from 22 EQ presets. If losing earbuds is a common occurrence, these ones also have a Find My Earbuds option on the app, which helps shoppers locate them.
Earbuds dying after one use can be a regular annoyance, but with the soundcore choice, shoppers can enjoy 10 hours of battery life on a single charge with a case that extends it to 30 hours. Also, if they are low on power, a quick 10 minute charge will give users up to two hours of playtime.
Shoppers need not worry about the earbuds taking up a lot of space, as they are compact and lightweight. They also come with a lanyard attachment, helping to ensure they are never lost. They also come with two built-in mics and an AI algorithm which work together to pick up voices easily during phone calls.
If these aren't the earbuds for everyone, shoppers could try the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 True Wireless In-Ear Earbuds in Silver for £149 from Argos, which feature Bluetooth, 11mm drivers, touch on side controls, noise cancelling, and come with a carry case and are water-resistant.
Another choice could be the BEATS Studio Buds Wireless Bluetooth Noise-Cancelling Earbuds for £69 from Currys, which are true wireless, water and sweat resistant, have microphones, volume, playback and functions control, and are noise-cancelling and quick charging.
The soundcore earbuds, however, have been rated extremely highly with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating from a total of 60,254 reviews on Amazon. One person said: 'For a product of this price, it was replacing my damaged Apple AirPods.
"I wasn't expecting much, and granted, they aren't as bassy, but they are great for general use!' Another said: 'Quality is great, the sound quality is better than my more expensive Motorola earbuds, and I'm very pleased and surprised with how good these are.
"Easy to pair to your phone… Very comfortable, fits perfectly and lightweight but the quality is great.'
'Excellent earphones for the price,' another customer said. 'Very clear sound and the best bass I have heard at this price level. In fact I was so impressed I came back and bought a second pair.'
Others did share different views on the headphones, however, as one said: 'The sound quality is okay. Not awful but not premium.'
Another wrote: 'I was just a bit disappointed with the sound quality.' However, for almost 50% off and a majority of five-star reviews, the soundcore by Anker P20i True Wireless Earbuds seem like a true bargain.

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag reduced from £35 to £13

Amazon is offering the Bluetooth tracker that's the 'perfect travel companion' Bluetooth trackers are a must-have travel companion, letting users keep an eye on exactly where their luggage, handbag and even their keys are. Amazon has slashed the price of the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2, offering a fabulous 62% discount in time for shoppers heading off on their summer holidays. The gadget usually costs £34.99 and can now be purchased from the online giant for £13.20. This is the cheapest price around, with the SmartTag2 costing £20.40 when bought directly from Samsung, while Argos is selling it for £23.99. The tracker can be popped inside a handbag or clipped on to a suitcase, allowing travellers to follow their belongings via the app. It's worth noting, however, that the gadget is only compatible with Samsung Galaxy devices. The SmartTag2 offers up to 500 days of battery, with the handy Power Saving mode extending its lifespan by up to 40%. The device is built to withstand dust and water, making it a robust travel companion. If travellers cannot find their belongings, the tracker's Search Nearby feature provides intuitive step-by-step instructions via Compass View. There's also the Ring Your Tag function that makes the gadget audibly signal its whereabouts to help locate it quickly. If the item still cannot be located, fear not, as the SmartTag2 has a convenient Lost Mode. When this is activated, the Near Field Communication displays its owner's registered contact information on the smartphone of whoever finds it. The Apple AirTag is a similar tracking device for iPhone users. Amazon is currently offering a single tracker on sale for £28, while a four-pack costs £92. Currys is selling the CHIPOLO Bluetooth Item Finder on sale for £11.99. This gadget is compatible with both iOS and Android smartphones. Over 7,300 Amazon shoppers have reviewed the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 to date, awarding it an overall score of 4.3 out of five. One impressed buyer wrote: "Outstanding simple piece of tech, effective and does exactly what it says on the tin… I use these on my keys, in my wallet and even in my car. Easy to locate using the app and an absolute lifesaver in the early morning panics of 'where are the keys?' "Helps add peace of mind for security and is very small to hide. Also helps locate where you left your car when parking. Overall, this is a fantastic piece of kit." Unfortunately one buyer was disappointed with the tracker, as they didn't realise it was only compatible with Samsung devices. They explained: "Never read anywhere this was only good for Galaxy phones. Unfortunately I bought it a few months ago in advance of a holiday, so I only just found it won't work with my Google Pixel phone even though it operates on Android." Someone else, however, is thrilled with the SmartTag2. They commented: "Perfect little tracker to keep an eye on belongings. I have one in my vehicle and also use one on my cat's collar. Battery life is also quite surprising. Location history etc. Fairly accurate, too."

They went on to add: "Now have multiple tags for all my luggage and carry-on when travelling for work and have been able to track my bags without any issue even when my bags have landed up in a different location to me."
