While premium wireless earbuds are all the rage these days, it’s tough to find a great pair that costs less than $150. The widely popular Apple AirPods start at $159 when not on sale and AirPods Pro are at least $200. But you don’t need to break the bank to get your hands (or shall we say ears) on top-notch wireless earbuds.
Enter the TaoTronics SoundLiberty 53 earbuds, a sleek pair that looks, sounds and feels premium, but features a wallet-friendly price of just $32—they’re $13 off right now with the on-page coupon at Amazon. That’s the all-time lowest price ever.
And since they’re from Amazon, you can get free one-day shipping with Amazon Prime. Not a member? Sign up for a free 30-day trial. Otherwise, shipping is free on orders of $25 or more.
Here’s the lowdown:
Premium audio quality
These TaoTronics SoundLiberty 53 Wireless Earbuds feature crystal clear audio with deep bass. As far as playback, they’re rated for up to 50 hours at a pop with their charging case—Apple AirPods only offer 15 hours. These little guys are quite impressive and sound like they’re more expensive than they actually are.
“The sound quality was really the surprising thing for me,” writes a five-star reviewer. “You really tend to get what you pay for when it comes to audio, and most discount headphones are pathetically muffled, weak in all ranges and quiet...The sound quality is absolutely better than what I paid for them. And that’s perfect for me. I highly recommend giving these a try if you’re on the market for wireless earbuds.”
Completely waterproof
The SoundLiberty 53 earbuds are waterproof, so feel free to wear them during your next workout or even in the shower (if that’s your thing). In fact, these babies can be submerged in more than three feet of water for 30 minutes without any damage. Good luck trying to do that with Apple AirPods!
“Perfect for swimming and showering,” adds another satisfied shopper. “These headphones come in a nice little case that also charges them. They are waterproof which is great because I do not want to wear my AirPods in the shower.”
Bottom line
At 30 percent off, these TaoTronics SoundLiberty 53 Wireless Earbuds can do a lot more than the Apple AirPods, but at a fraction of the price. The earbuds feature surprisingly rich audio, while also feeling comfortable and light in your ears. They’re waterproof too—and comfy.
“Wow!” raves a fan. “I was a little skeptical about this design—would they stay put? Are they comfortable? Is the sound good? Quite simply, yes to all of the above! They are incredibly comfortable, too! I can hardly feel them when wearing them. I've never had a pair of earbuds like that.”
“Got these earbuds for my husband because Apple AirPods hurt his ears. They are very comfortable even after wearing them for a long time. The setup was easy and painless. The sound quality is excellent,” shares another Amazon reviewer. “The battery life is amazing. Charged them when they arrived and haven't needed to charge again! It comes with a charging cord, charging case and extra ear pieces in case you need to adjust sizing for your ears. I would definitely recommend this pair of earbuds to friends and family!”
