Let’s get this out of the way: it’s the wireless way or the highway in 2019.

If you’re not buying completely wireless earbuds, you shouldn’t be buying earbuds at all — the future is now, people.

And while AirPods may not be within everyone’s budget, there are plenty of totally wireless options that can still get the job done.  Here are six pairs that range in price from skip-a-few-cups-of-coffee cheap to incredibly affordable for the value you’ll get in return. Oh yeah, and all of these are on sale in the Mashable Shop:

Under $25

At just $25, these wire-free earbuds are impulse buy-worthy, but will also get the job done. They sport an impressive 3-hour charge with 30 hours of backup power at the ready thanks to the charging case. If you’re prone to losing things or are looking for a backup pair that doesn’t feel like a compromise, there’s a lot to love.

Normally $99, the AirTaps are on sale for just $24.99.

Under $75

The Treblab X2s are quite literally crafted from the stuff of stars. Designed with Byrrellium cores (common to star cores), these earbuds deliver super clear, 3D sound. Combine that with CVC noise cancellation and you’ve got yourself a unique audio experience.

The ordinary $66.99 price has been reduced to an astronomical (see what we did there?) $59.99. 

An Indiegogo hit that raised $3 million in funding, the PaMu earbuds have all the features you’d hope for: touch-scroll technology, case charging, water resistance, Bluetooth 5.0, and a stylish scroll-shaped case that fits easily in a purse, laptop bag, backpack, or even a pocket. They boast three and a half hours of playback time, five hours of talk time, and of course, two full charges available anywhere via the charging case. They’re the only headphones you’ll need all day, no matter how much time you spend on your feet.

Normally $149, the PaMuScroll earbuds are currently available for just $69.99.

Not only are these headphones built out of 100 percent recycled materials, but they deliver eight hours of battery life. Plus, you can get 100 additional hours with the included charging case. Wireless charging technology means you don’t need to fumble with any wires — just pop them in the case and forget they’re there until you need them again. If 100 hours is more than you need, the included USB-C plug means you can charge any other devices you might have on hand. 

Normally $189.95, these are available here for just $74.99.

Under $100

Despite their size, these little buds pack a hefty punch. Their 7mm dynamic drivers offer thumping lows and crystal-clear highs, while the cutting edge batteries offer 6-and-a-half hours of battery life — plus an additional 24 hours stored in the charging case. The quick charge technology also means you can add three hours of playtime after charging for just 15 minutes.

Talking on the phone via Bluetooth can be disorienting because of the stereo sound, but 1More allows you to pick either ear as your “phone call” ear. That creates a more familiar phone call experience so you can transition from relaxing to music to professional meetings in a snap.

Normally $119.99, the 1More Stylish True Wireless In-Ear Headphones are on sale for just $99.99.

Another smash-hit on Indiegogo, the xFyro Earbuds are as high-quality as wireless earbuds get. Thanks to amazing Bluetooth 5.0 technology, these earbuds are two times more reliable and 10 times faster than devices utilizing previous Bluetooth versions. That means you’re hearing the clearest, most precise version of your audio.

They feature an eight-hour battery life (plus an additional 24 stored in the charging case), water-resistance, auto-pairing, fast-charging, and CVC noise-isolation. Normally $250, you can get them for a stunning 60% off — just $99.99.
