Once again, Apple has set a trend, and once again, the other tech giants are trying to outdo them.<\/p>\n

It’s no secret that the hugely popular and frequently-memed AirPods are a hit with consumers. Wireless earbuds are a rapidly growing market<\/a>, with over 12.5 million pairs being sold in the last quarter. AirPods make up a whopping 60% of those sales. Amazingly, AirPods made up 7% of Apple’s total revenue last year.<\/p>\n

\"Airpods\"<\/p>\n

Rumors suggest that Amazon is working on creating its own line of earbuds<\/strong>, hoping to stand out in the crowding industry by including its voice assistant Alexa in every pair.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While AirPods contain Siri integration, Alexa is significantly more versatile<\/strong>, which could prove a key selling point for Amazon’s earbuds. Alexa has been a key part of the e-commerce giant’s strategy recently, and the company hopes to integrate the technology into as many devices as possible.<\/p>\n

Amazon is striving for the simplistic aesthetic and clipless design that made AirPods popular, but with better audio quality.<\/strong> The earbuds will reportedly come with a charging case similar to the one used with AirPods.<\/p>\n

The earbuds are reported to be released in the second half of 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n
