I'm the only non-Apple person in my house. Kids both have air pods. Wife wants some form of wireless ear buds and doesn't need to be Apple air pods. Any suggestions for a good pair that isn't priced like Apple air pods?

oneplus Z2 buds. they were recently $50 on amazon. I'd assume they'll go on sale again. I have them, along with a pair of Powerbeats pro, and I love them.

I replaced my Airpods with Samsung Galaxy Buds and I'm very pleased. Got them when Costco had a good sale. Better fit for my ears than the Airpods which has resulted in much better sound.

I’ve got some Bose ones I really like. Pricey, but loud enough even when I’m on my mower. They have active noise cancelling too.

I've really been enjoying the Wyze earbuds. Good battery life, very comfortable and sound quality is great.

Does she have an iPhone? Just get her the AirPods, it'll make your life easier in the long run.

You can get older versions for 99 bucks or so at Costco

You get what you pay for when it comes to wireless earbuds. Lots of crap out there.

If in the Apple ecosystem, I would stay with Apple products for ease of use and the sound quality is outstanding.

I find the pro’s are much better than the regular ones. So prepare to spend even more money if you choose to roll with Apple.

Think Best Buy is selling the Galaxy Buds live for like 70 bucks right now, loudest buds I’ve ever had and most bass if you like that sound profile.

Bought my wife a set of these JBL Live Free buds and they really outclass my Isotunes. Can't complain for the price.

I bought the Anker Soundcore Life P3 last year, my wife liked them so much when I let her try them that I had to just give them to her and buy another for me. Can frequently be had on sale for $60.

Sony WF-1000XM4 is on sale as low as it ever really gets right now, $178 at Amazon. Not cheap but very highly rated.
