Amazon shoppers say these earphones cheaper than AirPods are 'the best' for fitness

Amazon shoppers say these earphones cheaper than AirPods are 'the best' for fitness

Daily Mirror07-05-2025
The Soundcore earbuds have been cut in Amazon's Tech Week Sale
Summer is on the horizon, and if shoppers are on a fitness push before their holiday, these earbuds could be worth looking at. The Soundcore V20i are a pair of earphones that are ideal for runs - or even jobs around the house - at a price of £30.
That's thanks to Amazon's price drop, the pair usually retails for £50, but shoppers can get the £20 saving this week. The pair of open-ear earphones has a decent connection and clear playback.
They also easily rotate, which helps listeners find the best fit for their ears. The V20i open-ear earbuds offer boosted stability and comfort, so users can listen and move freely throughout the day.
Fitness fans can also enjoy clear calls with four mics and an AI algorithm, meaning the V20i open-ear headphones ensure crisp and clear calls wherever they are.
One important thing to note is that the V20i are open-ear earphones, meaning there's no noise-cancelling, which could be a downside to anyone looking to use the pair on a noisy commute, for example.
Alternatively, shoppers can pick up the JBL Tune Beam Wireless Bluetooth Noise-Cancelling Earbuds in black for £79.99 from Currys. However, consumers looking for a product with a higher price tag and better quality than both the Anker and JBL options can consider the Apple AirPods Pro 2, which are now £219 at Amazon.
Shoppers have also been raving over the Soundcore earbuds during reviews. One shopper said: "Wow, I love these headphones, I have a couple of wireless in-ear buds, but these are just so much better.
"I wear glasses, fit is no problem, very comfortable, and the sound is so much better than I thought possible for this type of unit.
"In use, you have really good awareness of everything around you, you can have a conversation with them and hear traffic as you walk.
"The best earphones I've had. My daughter used them on a run, and now she has a pair as well. Unbeatable price for what you get, app is easy to use and you can easily configure the ear tap response for prev, next, and volume."
Another shopper said: "Good sound with these earphones. There's a range of sound options in the Soundcore app, they are safer to use on the go as you can hear what's going on around you unlike the in the ear earphones which block out external sound, very easy to set up with the app".
However, not everyone was pleased. Some complained about the comfort on their ears. One shopper added: "Average on comfort and clip style. Not bad but slightly uncomfortable for my ears. Fit is always subjective. However still keeping it as it's ok."

The deals website is offering discounts on refurbished Galaxy smartwatches Gymgoers and daily step-count fanatics know that smartwatches can cost upwards of £200, especially for leading brands such as Samsung and Apple. However, shoppers who don't mind choosing an older model can currently buy a refurbished Samsung Galaxy Smartwatch on Wowcher for £39. Samsung's Galaxy Watch Bluetooth 42mm SM-R810 automatically tracks more than 39 types of activities and comes complete with GPS, ideal for runners and those who enjoy long rambles. It's also equipped with a 1.2-inch screen and can track a user's heart rate, sleep rate, and calorie intake. The exact same watch is also on sale at Amazon for £70 however, there is limited availability.

Both grades offer fully functional devices, Wowcher says. The £39 option for the Samsung Galaxy Watch Bluetooth 42mm SM-R810 falls into the Grade B group. On Amazon, customers can find reviews of the fitness trackers. One person said: "Replaced a three-year-old edition and really like the new one. Battery life is really, really improved!" The same customer continued: "Functionality remains great. Have not tried Sleep tracking so I did not rate it. The watch has been everything I hoped it would be, could not be happier." Another stated a downside, saying: "Does not work with Samsung Pay, the app is not installed, and there is no Samsung Pay option in the Galaxy Wearable app." Shoppers who would prefer a newer model and don't mind paying the extra price can pick up a Samsung Galaxy Watch7 (40mm) for £239, usually £289.

Another added: "Lots of good experiences at great prices!" Another left a mixed review, noting a downside to the site's userability. They said: "I like the discounts, but it's very confusing trying to redeem."

The Aeropress Go is a rapid brewing device that is said to make a gorgeously rich cup of coffee without any bitterness or high acidity. As this device is designed for use while on the go, it also features microfilter paper to eliminate any grit, which in turn will make clean up only take a few seconds. Provided with a handy drinking mug that doubles up as a carry case, this device can smoothly fit into your bag along with the rest of your essential belongings. Able to make between one and three cups of smooth American style coffee per pressing, users should have a warm brew in under a minute. Aeropress Go Portable Travel Coffee Press Kit £44.99 £33.97 Amazon Buy Now Product Description However, unlike a French Press, this device uses the Aeropress that uses a rapid immersion brewing process, which means it can also brew espresso style coffee for lattes and cappuccinos. Along with the press and 444ml mug, shoppers will also get a scoop, a stirrer, a lid and paper filters. Another travel coffee machine on Amazon is the HAILASRE Electric Portable Espresso Machine. Now retailing for £64.59 (RRP £67.99), this device comes with a large battery life and is self-heating so shoppers can make a warm brew after adding cold water. Alternatively, for those who enjoy a cooler coffee-based beverage, Debenhams is selling the asobu Portable Cold Brew Coffee Maker for £59.99.

One happy shopper said: "These are the things I love about it: 1) a good coffee ground will be delicious. You have total freedom to control the water temperature and preparation time, as it is entirely manual; 2) I love how easy it is to dispose of the used coffee. You just pop the compressed ground in the garbage bin and clean the rest. "3) It is great to prepare a coffee while socializing. Everyone loves it and the preparation process, even those who usually say they don't like to drink coffee." With another five-star reviewer adding: "This little kit is excellent, makes a lovely cup of coffee, easy to use and clean, brilliant product." However, a few shoppers weren't as pleased, as one person said: "Makes decent coffee and easy to clean but doesn't even make a full mug. Just get the regular one." With another adding: "The Aeropress Go is significantly smaller than the standard Aeropress." Despite this, a top reviewer said: "Bought as a Christmas gift for a coffee lover. We use it frequently now. Everything packs and fits away perfectly into the cup which is great. Has everything you need with it. We love to make coffee with this. Cleans up easily (easier than a cafetiere in my opinion). Makes great coffee (provided you buy good quality beans!)." With a sixth shopper adding: "Having read about this I took the plunge! It makes very good coffee and so easy to clean. It will now come with me everywhere!!" To buy the Aeropress Go Portable Travel Coffee Press Kit, click HERE. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Buyers have praised the handy device for its ability to make smoothies and other snacks Despite Amazon's massive Prime Day event ending last Friday, shoppers are still able to get some cracking bargains on a range of items. Whether you are in need of a new smartwatch, hair dryer or pair of Sketchers, it is well worth a bargain hunter's time to see what limited time deals are available. For those who are on a health kick or just love a fruity smoothie to start their day off right, Amazon has knocked the price off some of their blenders so shoppers can save some money on consistently buying healthy drinks from the supermarket. One popular device that has received a hefty discount is the nutribullet Magic Bullet Blender. Normally retailing for £49.99, shoppers can now snap it up for £29.99 in a limited time deal. With over 12,700 ratings, this all-in-one blender is said to be the "ultimate versatile kitchen appliance".

With a speed of 10,000 RPM and featuring the innovative bullet cross blade, shoppers will have their favourite blends in seconds.

Looks good, doesn't take up too much room." With another five-star reviewer adding: "Just what my kitchen needed to put those recipes together! It's more powerful than the other version and the jugs are a bonus." However, not everyone was pleased with the device, as one shopper wrote: "It's okay, looks good and works well. Just wish the cups were bigger, not a lot of volume in them so have to go see does manufacturer make bigger cups." With another reviewer complaining: "Good for making smoothies, although I have to sometimes put unblended lumps of banana back in to whizz up. It isn't great at chopping onions, which I'm really disappointed about." Despite this, a top reviewer commented: "Bought this for smoothies but we have found way more use for it. A great addition to the kitchen and it's a great blender. Can handle ice no problem which was an initial concern but can say we have had no issues with it." With a sixth customer adding: "I brought this as replacement to my Brevillie active blender which sadly broke after a month of having. And honestly I wish this was the first I brought first.
