Apple’s new AirPods are insanely popular, having reportedly helped Apple’s share of the wireless headphone market skyrocket to 40% in recent months. In fact, they’re so popular that Apple can’t even manage to keep them in stock in a single Apple store anywhere on the planet. New orders placed on Apple’s website today won’t ship for 6 weeks according to the current delivery estimate, so your only option if you want to get them now is to buy them on Amazon and pay a premium.

Of course, if you want truly wireless earbuds but you don’t necessarily need them to be AirPods, you’ve got plenty of options. Below you’ll find six suggestions got great alternatives to Apple’s trendy new buds, and they’ll all ship to your door much faster than AirPods will.
