Amazon's 'brilliant' £30 headphones 'I prefer to Apple AirPods' reduced to £16

Like it or not, earphones are part of our everyday lives. From taking calls to listening to music while on the commute, most of us always have some sort of stimulation going on in our ears, which is why investing in a good pair of ear buds is vital.

Investing in a good pair doesn't necessarily mean breaking the bank, though. While Apple's AirPods and other high-end brands can set you back hundreds of pounds, you can find greatness in much cheaper packages like Anker's soundcore P20i buds.

Normally costing £29.99, Amazon is currently running a limited time deal that takes these popular earphones down to £15.99 - a new all time low for the product according to CamelCamelCamel. With Bluetooth 5.3, an IPX5 water resistance rating and microphones for phone calls, it's not hard to see why over 49,000 Amazon shoppers have left their thoughts behind on the product page.

Perhaps the best thing about these buds is how understated they are. Coming in a variety of colours, they slot right into your ear with a low-profile design.

They can last up to ten hours on a single charge, which is much longer than other more expensive earbuds. Pop them back in the charging carry case and you can add an additional 20 hours of playback time, with the buds charging up rapidly.

As someone who regularly misplaces his belongings, I really appreciate the inclusion of a strap attached to the case. Tie it around the inner zip of a bag and you'll never have to go hunting for where you left your buds again.

A companion app for the soundcore by Anker P20i adds a whole other host of features including a gaming mode that reduces audio latency. If you don't like the sound profile, you can switch that up here too with several equalizer pre-sets to choose
