a lot of hype around Apple earpods air pods have kind of become a meme they're out there they're in the wild but there are alternatives out there now I've tried a few I've tried wireless earbuds all the way down to 18 bucks those ones have a wire between the two-year buds themselves so what about an alternative that's sort of more like air pods without the air pods price tag that's what I'm looking at today these ones are almost half the price or actually exactly half the price 79 bucks anchor sound core Liberty air kind of reminiscent of air pods maybe they sound good maybe they don't you can answer phone calls you can talk into these things the earbuds themselves have five hours of play time combined with the case 20 hours now if you're familiar with the company anchor if there's somebody to trust in the battery department it's probably these guys nonetheless could it be the air pods killer let's go ahead and find out look at this guy he's happy it's a business trip he's a traveling man it kind of looks like Jack actually is that you put the leather bag the coats but the jeans because you're still you're still a cowboy at heart Brokeback Mountain whoo okay not much bigger than an air pods container small medium and large ear tips these are the ear buds now I see it says touch right there so are they also touch sensitive really do is nodding his head right now left right you pop them out I'm gonna go ahead and just put this in how much I'm just gonna get oh okay pretty comfy to be honest not gonna fall out of my head so when you buy them they go straight into pairing mode pair it up okay hang on let me just have a listen real quick please allow me I got no play posture well hold on a second it's a hold okay Will's got a little update for us on the interface you tap it twice for play pause what else you got twice to answer and end phone calls of course if a phone call was coming in so it's a it's a longer to tap to switch tracks well what does this one do Wow okay so each touch pad is doing different things the left one is the previous track if you want to go back a song the right one is to go forward a song the right one is play pause answer phone calls the left one can launch Google assistant Wow as you can see here I'll double tap and the saw will begin playing okay that's a little pink floyd-- I'm gonna reserve my feedback here I'm gonna pick something from a different genre right quick if you don't mind give me a minute here beast mode hip hop there you go I want to test the range I'm gonna walk away from the phone range is pretty good big difference between different genres and music I went from Pink Floyd to future nonetheless they both sound good way more bass on a hip hop side as as expected air pots don't actually really cut you off from the world these ones are much deeper so you're a bit more isolated and a bit more in the music I wish there was a bit more volume here I thought these could maybe deliver a little bit more let me just try one more track here Ruff Ryders anthem there you go hmm they do something that air pods do not do I think they sound better than air pods you're getting punched harder with these then with the air pods in my opinion how was the sound bleed zero you're hearing nothing which is good alright last thing I wanna do I should make a phone call real quick you call me and I'll try to answer it right on it right on the headset hello will he do yeah you sound good man do I so I say a sentence like this and then there's leftover garbage at the end yeah I mean it's usable you've heard better Bluetooth headsets on this on this show right here he has okay very well thank you very much for the phone call well you've been a tremendous help as usual this is the liberty air it's available in black and white right out the gate which I think a lot of people are gonna like as well it's a nice little kit it's a nice little package these are half the price of Apple's product I think anchor has another hit potentially another hit on their hands I think it's a decent alternative to Apple's product that said keep in mind Apple's putting out the air pods to the rumor is relatively soon those are probably going to improve on the previous version but don't expect them to be affordable by any means if anything they're probably gonna cost more probably be like $200 so if you're trying to stay away from that price point this is a good place to look this is a good place to look can you end it there I don't know somewhere else before
