'Outperformed my Sony headphones': These AirPod alternatives are just $65

What is it?

There are dozens upon dozens of so-called "AirPod alternatives" on the market, and most of them generally look and perform about the same. What sets the 1MORE Aero Wireless Earbuds apart is a combination of build, design and sound quality. They're normally $110, but you can snag a pair for just $65 right now. There's a reason they sit at the top of Yahoo's "best AirPod Pro alternatives" list.

These headphones bring a lot of bang for the buck, especially when you consider they feature spatial audio, 10mm drivers, and up to 42 decibels of Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation.

Why is this a good deal?

1MORE Aero Wireless Earbuds are a fantastic alternative for AirPod Pros (currently on sale for $200) at roughly a quarter of the cost. It's also the lowest price ever for these buds.

Why do I need this?

If you want AirPod Pro-level audio without paying the Apple tax, then the 1MORE Aero is worth a look. Not only does it feature spatial audio (sound that adapts based on the position of your head), it also uses "Smart Loudness Technology" to ensure you hear all the details of the song without washing out smaller notes in favor of others.

These 'buds cancel up to 42 decibels of sound thanks to their active noise cancelling. You'll be able to hear your music — and only your music — no matter where you are. There are also 12 studio-grade EQ presets within the companion app that can handle anything from rock to classical to ensure you have the best possible music experience you can have.

Don't worry, these don't slack on the mic front, either. Six built-in microphones pick up your voice and filter out background noise for interference-free calls.

What reviewers say

"Love these so far! The battery life is long and the sound is pretty good. The case is small which could be good/bad if you’re one who might lose a smaller case. My only concern with them is that they are very smooth and sometimes easy to slip out of your fingers when handling. Perhaps a small grippy area could be added to future models? Otherwise, great for the price!" one fan said.

Another customer said they beat out higher-end models: "Tested on a flight and it outperformed my over the ear Sony Noise cancelling headphones that cost +$300."

"These are my favorite earbuds I have ever used. That's saying something, because I have owned a bunch. The noise canceling works great. The case supports wireless charging. Sound is crystal clear — probably better than Apple products," said one satisfied shopper.
