The 6 Best Cheap Wireless Earbuds - Summer 2021 Reviews

The Sony WI-C310 are the best cheap wireless earbuds that we've tested. These lightweight wireless in-ears are very portable, and they're stable enough to wear during a light run or workout. Their amazing 17-hour continuous battery life should be more than enough to last you through long days on the go.

They have a fairly neutral sound profile that's suitable for lots of different types of audio content, and the extra emphasis in the bass range makes audio sound more full-bodied. They don't leak a lot of noise, and escaping audio is quiet and thin-sounding, so it shouldn't really bother anyone around you if you listen to your music at loud volumes.

Unfortunately, like many earbuds in this price range, they don't have the best build quality, and the cables feel very thin. Also, they don't have a noise isolation feature, so they can't really block out bass-heavy background noises like plane or bus engines. Fortunately, they can passively isolate against higher-frequency noises, like the sound of coworkers chatting nearby.

The best budget wireless earbuds under $50 that we've tested are the FIIL T1X True Wireless. These well-built in-ears are comfortable enough for long listening sessions and come with several differently-sized ear tips and stability fins. Once you achieve a good fit, they're stable enough to stay in place during a run or workout at the gym.

They're also rated IP65 for dust and water resistance, although we don't test for it currently. Their default sound profile is slightly bass-rich, which adds some extra thump, kick, and boom to mixes. If you prefer a different sound, there are 15 EQ presets available in the companion app, and you can also create your own. The battery lasts for roughly seven hours of continuous playback time, and the earbuds come with a hard plastic case that stores about three extra charges.

Unfortunately, they don't have an ANC feature and don't passively isolate you from the low rumble of bus and plane engines., they don't block out the low rumble of bus and plane engines. Their touch-sensitive controls aren't the most intuitive either. Otherwise, their affordable price, customizable sound, and comfortable, stable fit make them a solid choice if you want cheap wireless earbuds.

The best budget wireless earbuds under $100 that we've tested are the EarFun Air Pro True Wireless. These noise cancelling compact truly wireless in-ears have a comfortable, stable fit and feel quite well-built, with a high-grade plastic construction that's rated IPX5 for water resistance, though we don't currently test for that. They supply over nine hours of runtime on a single charge and have a standby mode to help conserve power, so they shouldn't need frequent recharging, though battery consumption can vary with use.

These in-ears have a very well-balanced sound profile, though with just a bit of added bass, emphasizing the thump and punch of genres like EDM and hip-hop without overly muddying or cluttering more delicate vocals or lead instruments. Their ANC system helps them do a great job of blocking out ambient noise, ranging from the low rumble of bus and plane engines to the high-pitched hum of an AC unit, not to mention the chatter of nearby coworkers. They also have very low latency on mobile Android and iOS devices, which is good if you like to stream videos while wearing them, though apps and devices compensate to varying degrees for this, so your experience may vary.

However, their touch-sensitive control scheme can take a bit of time to get used to. They also lack any sort of sound customization features, like a companion app with an EQ or built-in EQ presets. Otherwise, their comfortable, sturdy design, long continuous battery life, and effective ANC system help make them some of the best wireless Bluetooth earbuds under $100 that we've tested.
