The 7 Best Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds Under $50 - Spring 2020
Reviews

The best Bluetooth earbuds under $50 we’ve tested so far are the Anker SoundBuds Curve Upgraded 2019. A slight improvement over the previous generation, the upgrade aren't only an affordable pick for any budget, but they perform impressively well for their price.

They have the same sturdy design but now feature an improved in-line remote and IPX7 rating for better water protection, although we don't test for this. Their battery life also got a solid boost - they now provide an impressive 18 hours of playback on a single charge, which is even better than some of the most premium wireless earbuds we've reviewed. Their versatile sound profile hasn't changed either, so they're still a solid choice for not only hip-hop and EDM, but other genres too.

While they're quite comfortable for in-ears, they don't isolate noise very well. Their earbuds also have a tendency to slip out of place sometimes. Since they have ear-hooks, they're unlikely to fall right out of your ear, but if the earbud seal breaks, you might notice a difference in sound. Thankfully, they come with lots of earbud and stability fin options for a customizable fit. Overall, they provide outstanding value for the price and are very easy to recommend.

The best wireless earbuds under $50 for sound quality we've tested so far are the JBL Endurance Sprint. With their colorful, matte look, these earbuds provide a stable, adjustable fit to take you from home to the office or gym. These earbuds aren't just for sport, though. Their well-balanced sound reproduction makes them a great choice for those who want to appreciate their audio wirelessly without breaking the bank.

Where these earbuds excel is in sound: bass is deep and thumpy while treble is clear and detailed. This makes them suitable for virtually all genres of music and types of audio, from electronica to comedy podcasts. Their in-ear design also reduces heavy rumbling, like the sound of bus engines, which can be helpful during your commute.

While their touch-sensitive controls allow you to adjust volume or pause and play your music with relative ease, they can be a bit finicky at times. These earbuds also fall short in sound customization options: they don't have a compatible app, so you're stuck with their default settings. That said, if you're a fan of their neutral sound profile, they're a solid choice for under $50.

The best customizable wireless earbuds under $50 we've tested so far are the Jaybird Freedom F5. They're compatible with the Jaybird MySound app, which allows you to tailor their sound to your listening preferences, and they come with multiple earbud and stability fin options to help you find the perfect fit.

With the Jaybird MySound app on either iOS or Android, you can tweak the equalizer to your liking, whether you create a custom EQ or use one of the community presets. Even without using the app, these headphones have a decently well-balanced sound. If you like adding a pop of color to your look, you're also in luck: these earbuds come in several colors so you can find one that works with your aesthetic.

A drawback to these earbuds is their disappointing 4-hour battery life. Fortunately, they have a quick charge time and also come with a charging clip that doubles their battery life. All things considered, these headphones are a great budget choice for more control and customization of your wireless earbuds.
