Apple AirPods are some of the most sought-after wireless earbuds on the market right now, and everyone with a newer model iPhone is looking to pick up a pair before the holiday season is over. Of course, since it’s Apple tech, there’s really no way to get them for cheap. Unless the tech giant suddenly decided to slash prices on one of their most popular products, you’ll have to part with a small fortune to snag some Apple-branded earbuds. Luckily, Apple isn’t the only one offering Bluetooth earbuds that work with the iPhone. Walmart and Amazon both have some great Apple AirPod alternatives for sale — and you can still get them before Christmas.

AirPods are traditionally white, but if you’re willing to go with an alternative that just so happens to be black, you can save quite a bit of money. These lightweight Bluetooth earbuds come with simple 2-step pairing, a water-resistant coating, and handy carrying case. With a battery life of just under 3 hours, these in-ear headphones aren’t going to last nearly as long as the Apple AirPods, but they will certainly fit within your budget.
You can pick up this pair of truly wireless earbuds for just $60 on Amazon for a limited time.
