AirPods Pro alternatives: Top Cyber Monday deals 2022

I don’t know how I ever managed without a decent pair of noise-canceling earbuds. They make hectic modern life so much more bearable. You pop them into your ears, and you can be in a world filled with music or audiobooks or podcasts… or just some well-deserved silence!

Think earbuds, and most people will think Apple’s AirPods or AirPods Pro. 

But they’re not for everyone.  

People who aren’t in the Apple ecosystem, or those who don’t want to pay the sort of money that Apple is asking for these products, still deserve decent earbuds.

Well, you might have noticed that there are a lot of sales going on, making it a great time to pick up a quality set of earbuds for a lot less than you normally pay.
