The AirPods Pro isn't one of them, but there are many great Singles Day wireless earphone deals!
It's here - the annual Chinese Singles Day! On 11/11, many TWS true wireless earphones, wired earphones and headphones are cheaper than in most of the year. Beware, however: some promotions are fake. These are the best true wireless earbuds deals on 11-11!
The best 11-11 true wireless earphones sales
After reviewing more than 60 truly wireless earbuds and testing more than 200 (Chinese) audio products; these are my top TWS recommendations for the 11.11 Singles Day sales on AliExpress, November 11 2019.
More sales below the highlights!
Mpow M5/ T5: One of the very best
I love the Mpow M5 dearly - read my review. It is, without a doubt, one of the best sounding true wireless earphones under $50 and even under $100. In fact, it can compete with the very best TWS on the market at premium prices. It offers a detailed bass and lower mids, lots of detail, and a big soundstage with excellent instrument placement within. It was 45 dollars before on Amazon, but it's harder and harder to get at that price. On 11-11, the Mpow M5 is this amazing steal at $45 again.
Buy the Mpow M5 (now under $45, normal price $55)
QCY T5: perfect AirPods alternative
A deal you can't miss. The QCY T5 (review) is the most complete alternative to the Apple AirPods, now diving under $25. It has great call quality, it's very comfortable even for longer periods, has a dedicated Gaming Mode that makes the audio sync amazingly with video and games, and the battery life is on par with the $250 Apple AirPods Pro: 4,5 hours. Not to forget: the QCY T5 sounds great too.

Tronsmart Spunky Beat: newcomer
I have to admit that I haven't tested this model yet. It's coming my way. However, some trusted readers informed me the Tronsmart Spunky Beat sounds great - better than the Tronsmart Spunky Pro (review), which was already miles better than the first offering of the brand. The Spunky Beat is compact, has the charging cable into the case itself and offers AptX, AAC and SBC codecs. Review coming soon, but the sale is already here.
Buy the Tronsmart Spunky Beat (now $20, was $30)
Whizzer B6: one of the best under $100
Maybe this one has slipped under the radar, but the Whizzer B6 (review here) is one of the best sounding TWS under 100 dollars. It sounds energetic, with a rich, impactful bass and elevated vocals, and has a unique charging case that's kept together by a strong magnet. The earpieces stay tight in your ears, making them suitable for sports. I have yet to write my list of best TWS under $100, but the Whizzer B6 will end up high on it.
Buy the Whizzer B6 TWS (now under $60, normal price $70-75)
Mifo O5: great for trips and holidays
Looking for a TWS that you can take along with you on a long trip, without caring about battery life? The Mifo O5 (review here) is an excellent choice. It lasts 5 hours on a single charge and the stylish charging case can recharge the earpieces 15 times before needing a recharge itself. Insane - and the Mifo O5 is comfortable, good-sounding and offers good call quality too.
Buy the Mifo O5 (now under $70, normal price $80)
1more Stylish TWS: favorite of many
The 1more Stylish TWS (review here) is still one of the most energetic sounding true wireless earphones, with a boosted bass and elevated upper-mids and highs. The earpieces come with rubber rings that ensure they stay in your ear even when sporting, and the battery life and comfort are good too. If you have an Android smartphone with Snapdragon 855 processor, you're in for a treat. A new firmware update adds volume controls on the earpieces!
