The only thing more popular than AirPods right now are cheap AirPods alternatives. At the top of that list is the $100 Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2. An entry-level pair of wireless earbuds with an impressive spec sheet, Anker’s latest release is a noteworthy upgrade that offers better audio, battery life, and durability than every AirPods model, at a competitive price point.

Should you be in the market for something affordable and don’t care much about appearance or coveted features like active noise cancellation, then the Liberty Air 2 is a smart investment. It even earned a place on our Best Wireless Earbuds page.
