]]> Just because Apple’s wireless AirPods cost a whopping $160 doesn’t mean you need to spend a fortune on a Bluetooth headset. Indeed, you can snap up a sweet-sounding pair of wireless headphones or earbuds for your iPhone or Android phone for no more than $30. Read on for five of my most recent picks.

Mpow Bluetooth neckband with vibrating call alertMpow Bluetooth neckband with vibrating call alert

Price: $23 on Amazon (21% off)

Here’s a different take on the around-the-neck wireless headset. This Mpow Bluetooth headset puts its playback and volume controls in a thin yet sturdy neckband, meaning you won’t have to fiddle with teeny-tiny earbud controls. The 1.2-ounce neckband also gives you about 6 hours of music or talk time, and it’ll even vibrate when a call comes in.

]]> Generally speaking, over-ear Bose headphones are hard to come by for anything less than $150—and indeed, you can spend a whopping $700 on a Bose headset if you really want. That makes this steeply discounted pair of Bose headphones worth a listen.

On sale for $90, the Bose SoundTrue “around-ear” headphones boast a padded headband, “memory-foam” earcups, an inline iPhone remote, and that signature Bose sound. Nope, they’re not wireless, but they’re Bose, so…

P.S.: The half-off $90 sale price (which probably won’t stick around for long) is for the Navy Blue version; charcoal black will set you back $105.

On sale for just $30 (a whopping $50 savings), Bluedio’s T3 Bluetooth headphones boasts a comfy on-ear design, “extra bass” speakers, virtual surround sound, and 20 hours of battery life. Just pair the T3 headset (available in red, black and white) with your iPhone or Android phone, slip on the earcups and press play. Also in the box: a USB charging cable and a drawstring carrying bag.

Note: The $30 price tag on the Bluedio T3 headphones is an Amazon “deal of the day” for today only, Friday the 10th of February.

Update: In my original post, I wrote that the Bluedio T3 headphones have an “over-the-ear” design; strictly speaking, though, the T3 is considered an “on-ear” headset. Sorry for the goof.
