The 6 Best Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds Under $50 - Spring 2021 Reviews

The FIIL T1X are the best wireless earbuds under $50 that we've tested. These sleek, truly wireless in-ears have a lightweight, comfortable, and stable design. Although we don't currently test it, they're also rated IP65 for dust and water resistance, making them a great choice to take with you to the gym.

They have a slightly bass-heavy sound profile that fans of EDM and hip-hop can enjoy. If you prefer a different sound, their companion app offers 15 EQ presets, so you can find one that better suits your needs. Even though they lack an ANC, they can block out a decent amount of noise like ambient chatter around you. They also don't leak a lot of audio, so you can listen to your music at high volumes without disturbing those around you. They have under seven hours of continuous playback time, and their carrying case offers three additional charges.

Unfortunately, its integrated mic has a disappointing recording quality, so your voice sounds distorted and unnatural. The mic can also struggle to separate your voice from ambient noise around you, so you may want to take calls in more quiet spaces to be heard more clearly. That said, these wallet-friendly headphones have a highly portable design with a customizable sound profile and decent battery performance. They're even among the best cheap wireless earbuds we've tested.

The Anker Soundcore Life Dot 2 are the best Bluetooth earbuds under $50 for noise isolation that we've tested. These headphones do a great job of passively blocking out background noise like office chatter. They also don't leak a lot of audio, so you can listen to your favorite music at high volumes without disturbing others around you.

These headphones have a good build quality and are rated IPX5 for water resistance, although we don't currently test it. They have a reasonably well-balanced sound profile with a touch of extra thump and rumble. They have a continuous battery life of over seven hours, and they have a standby mode to help conserve battery life when you're not using them. Their carrying case also holds roughly 12.5 extra charges, which brings their total battery life up to just under 100 hours, which is outstanding.

Unfortunately, they struggle to passively block out bass-range noise. They don't have a companion app, either, and lack sound customization features like an EQ to help adjust their sound. Their control scheme can also take some time to get used to, and they don't offer volume controls. That said, If you're looking to block out some noise while you're out and about, they're a suitable choice.

The best wireless earbuds under $50 for neutral sound we've tested are the JBL Endurance Sprint. These wireless in-ears deliver a hint of extra bass that emphasizes the thump and rumble in your favorite EDM and hip hop tracks, but without adding any boominess or muddying vocals or lead instruments. In other words, they're a good match for a wide mix of musical genres and audio content.

Thanks to their stable ear-hook design and decently sturdy construction, they're well-suited for taking out to the gym. Despite their somewhat bulky earbuds, it's still quite easy to store them in a bag or your pants pocket. While their nine-hour battery life is only fair, it should still be more than enough to last you throughout a day at work. They leak very little audio and do a great job of filtering out background noise, so you can stay focused on what you're listening to.

Unfortunately, their unusual twist-to-lock wear procedure can take some time to get used to and may not be comfortable for all listeners. Also, their touch-sensitive control scheme can be frustratingly inconsistent when it comes to registering commands. Still, due to their well-balanced, versatile sound profile, these earbuds are among the best-sounding wireless earbuds we've tested.
