JBL earbuds sale: Save on these cheap AirPods alternatives

By Aaron Mamiit Published May 14, 2024

If you’re on the hunt for true wireless earbuds deals but Apple’s AirPods are way too expensive for you — even with the discounts from AirPods deals — Best Buy is selling two affordable options by JBL, which is one of the most trusted names in the audio industry. The JBL Vibe Buds, originally priced at $50, are down to an even cheaper $40 for savings of $10, while the JBL Tune Flex, with a sticker price of $100, are on sale for only $70 for savings of $30. If you decide to take advantage of either of these offers, you’re going to have to be quick with your purchase because there’s no telling when their prices will go back to normal.
