Apple AirPods are almost synonymous with earbuds these days. Sure, there are literally hundreds of wireless earbud models out there, but the AirPods seem to dominate in terms of sales and public awareness. Of course, if you scratch beneath the surface, you quickly find that there are several earbud varieties from a handful of quality manufacturers that can not only hang with AirPods step for step, but can actually run circles around them in one key area: price. One of those unsung heroes of the earbud wars are these AirBlast Pro Earbuds, which have perfected the balance of brilliant sound quality and affordable price far better than their Cupertino competitors. Right now, the AirBlast Pros are an eye-opening 80 percent off their regular price at just $39.99 from TNW Deals. At the heart of the AirBlast Pros is some premium grade connectivity. Utilizing advanced Bluetooth 5.1 technology, the Pros deliver top-notch sound quality at a distance of up to nearly 50 feet. The individual left and right channels connect seamlessly for powerful stereo sound, but can also be switched into independent mode so you can use each bud as its own standalone speaker. The Pros offer up to three hours of playback time from just an out of charging, but when you also bring along the included AirBlast Pros carrying case, listeners can enjoy an extra eight hours of music before needing a power up. And whether you’re a workout fiend or just a fan of being active in the great outdoors, these earbuds are also water resistant to repel liquid, dust and other possible contaminants. And then there’s the AirBlast Pro’s true ace in the hole: that stellar price tag. Unlike AirPods that can set you back $250, you could pick up several pairs of AirBlast Pros for that price. Of course, the better option would be to save your cash on just one pair, a $199 value, now on sale for just $39.99. Prices are subject to change
