A compelling alternative to AirPods, the Soundcore Life P2 are truly wireless earbuds that deliver good sound and decent 7-hour battery life at a low price. The buds charge in the case via USB-C and are IPX7 water-resistant so you can work out in them. 

At $40, the Anker Soundcore Life P2 are some of the cheapest truly wireless earbuds on the market. While they lack a noise cancellation feature, the buds deliver strong audio quality and solid battery life of 7 hours.

The buds have four microphones inside so call quality should be excellent, and the exteriors are rated to IPX7 standards, so don't worry about sweating during an intense workout. 

The ovular charging case that comes with the buds charges via USB-C and extends the buds' battery life to 40 hours. And with one-step pairing, you'll be connected to your device — whether it be a phone, tablet or laptop — in just seconds. 

We haven't reviewed this specific model but Amazon customer reviews (4.2-star rating) praise the battery life and sound quality of these earbuds. Launched at $60 but often sold for $50, this Prime Day deal drops the Life P2 to their lowest price ever at $40, so you can give your wallet some rest this holiday season. 

Now that Amazon Prime Day 2020 has officially kicked off we are seeing tons of deals on the industry’s best wireless earbuds
