Does anyone know of any decent sounding cheaper alternatives to Apple Airpods? I want to get some for my son who thankfully isn't expecting me to shell out £150 for the Airpods ...

I've just had a quick Google around and the prices of some of the "alternatives" make Airpods seem quite reasonably priced.

Do they have to be Bluetooth, makes them unnecessarily expensive?

There are a ton of inexpensive alternatives at Amazon, but as soon as you start looking for a manufacturer you've actually heard of you can put at least a "1" and often a "2" in front of the price.

I was just thinking how good my Soundmagic E10s are. Inexpensive and probably better than any Bluetooth set.

Thanks chaps - I told my son to look at some reviews and he decided on the Enacfire that Chris linked to ...

Don't forget to let us know how they work out, Jules.

Ended up buying a pair of Enacfire 'Future Plus' for the boy ... He absolutely loves them and I have to say they are a pretty cool bit of design. They have a really nicely made charging case that holds the pods in place magnetically and the battery life is superb once you have a fully charged case. You can even charge your phone from it if needed. Sound wise I had a quick listen with some hq audio from YouTube and was very pleasantly surprised. Good value for money.

Is your lad still getting on with his buds, Jules?

Yes he is still loving them Chris.
The other great thing is that there is zero sound leakage which is a big plus for us!
