Best airpods knockoffs?
Does anyone have recommendations for cheap Airpods knockoffs that work well? The Soundpeats I've been using for the past few months bit the dust. Prefer a full plastic design like the original Airpods.

Original Airpods are only about $100 these days. What’s your budget?

Best airpods knockoffs?
Not knockoffs but TOZO NC9 have noise cancellation that works and sound good enough for $35. Cheap enough to lose. Fit in ear and under helmet ear flap for skiing.
TOZO has other models all plastic

I’ll second the Tozo vote - I’ve got a pair of T12 from amazon (maybe $40?) that have worked out well - they fit well under helmet ear flaps, as was mentioned above, and the price is right.

I've had good luck with the Soundcore by Anker, on Amazon for $50.
Paired with an Android phone or Samsung TV with good sound.

I got the tozos a few months ago and they're okay but recently they have not been settling in their charging case, so they connect to bluetooth on and off constantly. I unsynced them, gna throw them out

I tried a bunch of cheapish knockoffs because I am always afraid I would loose them. I ended up with Samsung buds live. They can be found for 60ish cad. They sound good for an open headphone and the mic is good for calls.

I can also endorse these. The noise cancelling is good enough that sometimes I wear them just for that and they sound quite good as well. I've never run them out of batteries with the rechargeable case, even on long flights. They are light enough to be comfortable for extended periods. Worth a try...

These bad boys have been really pleasurable, and the sound quality is almost orgasmic. Dishwasher safe too.

Think I have a pair of Gen 1 airpods (not noise canceling) that you can have for free. They're old and I replaced them 'cause the battery life sucks now, but can send them to you if you have any use for them (assuming I can find them).

They aren’t the full plastic style you are looking for, but I have been buying refurbished Jaybird Run headphones on Amazon for about $20. They were about $200 new, IIRC. They actually stay in my ears, and sound great. Realistic run time is about 4 hours.

AirPods are one of those pieces of tech I just can’t imagine living without now that I have them. Worth the cost of entry.

i got some knockoffs for under 10$ that are totally fine EXCEPT the audio is really low on incoming phone calls.
not bad for a backup pair though when the better half steals my wired bose which i much prefer since they are unloseable and sound awesome for all purposes.j'ai des grands instants de lucididididididididi

AirPods are $99 on Amazon or Verizon. Sound great, last a good while before needing charged and the fit/form factor is sweet. Bothering with cheap headphones blows my mind. Unless you lose them which keeps popping up from the OP. In which case get corded headphones.

Big fan of the Jabras I bought. The Amazon refurb warehouse section has them for ~$55 which is a smoking deal. They're sweat and water resistant which is good, I think that's what tanked my last pair.

Found these Pros Covid Spring hiking woods ski lines, one pod laying in the snow and the box with the other 20' further along. 2nd box following spring under a lift. Pair of silicon bungies $2.48 e-packet shipped from China. Riding MTB, skiing, hiking and working construction without losing one, priceless.

QFT - initially I didn’t understand the draw, now that I have a pair can’t imagine going back to plugging headphones in. Use them with my personal phone, work phone and work laptop. The easily toggle between each device. The silicone bungee is clutch for biking or skiing!
