Skip Apple AirPods for the best true wireless earbuds money can buy
When it comes to true wireless earphones, the most popular and widely used option is none other than Apple’s AirPods. This option is in its second generation and rumours of a third-generation AirPods are gradually seeping in. Although it is extremely popular the world over, it isn’t one of the best available. In fact, it is actually quite mediocre in comparison to some of the options available out there. A recent report claimed that amongst the best true wireless earbuds available, the Apple AirPods lie in the lowly 49th position, which is actually saying something for its audio quality.
