Apple’s AirPods have earned a spot on many a holiday gift guide this year, which isn’t a surprise considering their covetable minimalist design and crisp, clear audio quality. But at $159 a pop, buying a pair for everyone on your list is virtually guaranteed to land you a spot on your accountant’s naughty list.
For an AirPods alternative that won’t bust your budget, look to the AirTaps, a pair of Bluetooth earbuds that make wireless listening both accessible and affordable. Featuring sleek, flexible construction sans cords and Bluetooth 5.0 technology for easy pairing, they last up to four hours on a single charge — enough juice for a week’s worth of commutes to work. Plus, each pair comes with a portable charging case that allows for an additional 10 hours of playtime so you can listen to your favorite playlists and podcasts without interruptions.
If you visit the Mashable Shop today, you can pick up a pair of AirTaps Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds for just $36.99 — a discount of 62% off their original price of $99.90. Buying for more than one music or tech fanatic in your life? You can score awesome savings on a two-pack of AirTaps (a $199.98 value), available now for just $69.99. An IPX-certified waterproof version of the AirTaps is also available; take your pick from black or rose gold finishes, both of which are on sale for $39.99 apiece.
Need an extra discount to sweeten those deals even further? All right, fine: If you enter the coupon code MERRY15 at checkout, we’ll give you an additional 15% off your purchase — but only because you’ve been good this year.
