Amazon slash £100 wireless headphones hailed 'better than' £300 pair by 81% to under £19 in Prime Day flash deal
by Shawna Healey · Manchester Evening NewsIf you're like me, then you'll find nothing more annoying than stepping onto a train or going for walk and realising you've left your earphones at home. Whether it's listening to music or catching up on podcasts, earphones are a daily must.
While you may prefer to spend that little bit extra and get a pair of Apple Airpods, I am a person who would lose my head if it wasn't screwed on and so opt for more budget-friendly earbuds that won't sting my pockets too badly if and when I do happen to lose the left or right ear. But that doesn't mean you have to compromise on sound qaulity, though.
That's because Amazon is offering its £99.99 Wireless Earbuds with a massive 81% discount until 11.59pm tonight (October 9) as part of its ongoing Prime Big Deal Days sale. That brings the total to the much friendlier price of £18.98.
Those who have already picked up the Wireless Earbuds insist they are much 'better' than more expensive earbuds and headsets, praising the crystal clear audio quality, as well as its long battery life. They also come in 11 colours, which means you don't have to stick with black if you prefer to inject a bit of colour into your tech.
Amazon's Wireless Earbuds boast an overall star-rating of 4.5 out of five from over a whopping 11.,930 reviews. One shopper said: For the price you can’t expect to get any better. Sound is good and the person next to you won’t hear them. Good quality and the battery does last a very long time."
A second wrote: "These are brilliant earbuds - regardless of the fact that they are a really good price. Easy to pair and really easy to use with all the control over volume, pause etc that you need. The battery lasts for ages and charging is quite quick. Also, the sound you get through them is great. If I needed another pair, I'd buy these again."

Somebody else said: "I have a £300 wireless headset which I thought was good but the sound coming from these £15-£20 earbuds are better and there more comfortable. I'm going on holidays soon and I was frightened to bring the expensive headset, so I thought I would get a cheap pair of earbuds and I was blown away at how easy they were to setup and man the bass and treble coming from them. There is no distortion coming from them at all."
Among the three-star reviews, somebody hailed the Wireless Earbuds as 'satisfactory' for the price. They said: "The audio becomes out of sync very quickly with your device, so its okay for listening to music when you're not looking at your screen, but I would not recommend for watching any form of video content with these."
But another loved their latest Amazon purchase, adding: "I bought a branded earphone recently and one of them stopped working. So I was only hearing in mono after a short time. Took a chance with these ones and I'm very happy. She sound quality is better, they fit comfortably in the ear, long battery life, so much bass in them so be careful. Love them. Good seller."

It's also worth checking out Amazon's discount on the Apple AirPods Pro 2 Wireless Earbuds. They've been slashed by 22%, bringing the total down to £179 from £229. These would make a great Christmas present for any tech fanatic in your life.
Elsewhere, Currys is offering the Beats Solo Buds Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds in black, grey, purple and red for £79. Argos is offering the Jabra Elite 4 In-Ear True Wireless Earbuds with a 50% discount, now £49.99 instead of £99.99.
