Amazon shoppers race to buy bestselling 'better than AirPods' headphones reduced to £16 with 37,000 5-star reviews

Having a pair of earbuds in your bag is always a life saver. Whether it's for when you get to the gym or to listen to a podcast on a long journey, they can be invaluable to stave off a bit of boredom or block out the world for a little while.

While the likes of Apple's AirPods can set you back upwards of £100, you don't have to spend anywhere near that much for a pair of decent quality earbuds. For example, the P20i wireless earbuds from Anker are currently down to £15.99 from their usual £29.99, and have a huge 4.4 star rating across over 53,000 reviews on Amazon.

These buds sport a lot of the features that you'd expect from earbuds that cost a lot more than this, not least of which is the excellent audio quality from the 10mm drivers. You won't find any active noise cancelling on these earbuds, but the silicone tips do a decent enough job of blocking out a good chunk of noise anyway.

If you don't like how the buds sound straight out of the box, you can customise the sound using 22 equaliser presets in the app. Alternatively, you can create your own soundwave to properly dial in the headphones to sound great for the sort of music you listen to.

Battery life is rated to last as long as 30 hours when combined with the included case. Drop the earbuds into the case when they're low and they'll charge up super quickly, especially when plugged into the USB C port at the bottom.

Despite their low price, the earbuds also carry an IPX5 water resistant rating. I wouldn't recommend dunking them in water, but they're more than capable of putting up with a bit of sweat from workouts.

Customers that have bought these earbuds rate them very highly, with one customer leaving a review after using them for an entire year. "Earbuds very
