Apple’s AirPods may have been roundly mocked by the internet when they debuted (remember the memes?) but it’d be fair to say the little white earbuds have been a great success.

Easy to use, and packed with clever tech in both the buds and the charging case, they’re incredibly popular among iPhone users — but there are some great options from other manufacturers too. We have a full list of our favorite AirPods alternatives, but there are some that are discounted for Cyber Monday that are worth a look right now.

Don’t forget AirPods alternatives can offer different designs (ideal if you’re not keen on the pristine white buds Apple offers), can connect more easily with non-Apple devices, and are often cheaper, too. And, in the case of Beats, they offer much the same functionality.
