Anker makes a few affordable AirPod alternatives that deliver truly excellent value for money. I like the $60 Soundcore Life P2, but the superior Soundcore Liberty Air 2 earbuds are now on sale for $80 ($20 off) at Amazon and other retailers such as Best Buy. They sound good and are a top model for making calls.
Like the AirPods Pro, the Liberty Air 2 do a remarkably good job of muffling ambient noise -- callers said they could hear me fine even with a lot of street noise around me. While these Anker Soundcore earbuds don't have active noise canceling, they sound nearly as good, fit comfortably and their noise-isolating design passively seals out a lot of ambient noise. They have an IPX5 water-resistance rating, which means they can withstand heavy sprays of water, and are suitable for sporting activities -- they stayed in my ears well during runs. The only thing I missed was sidetone, a feature that allows you to hear your voice in the earbuds during calls so you don't talk too loudly. Read my full Soundcore Liberty Air 2 review here.
