However, 2025 has seen a surge of budget-friendly options that deliver impressive sound quality and features. Here's a rundown of some of the best cheap wireless earbuds under $100.
Skullcandy Rail ANC Wireless Earbuds
The Skullcandy Rail ANC Wireless Earbuds are a standout choice, offering active noise cancelation (ANC) with adjustable modes for focus or ambient awareness. These earbuds boast deep bass and a wide dynamic range, providing up to 7 hours of playtime with an additional 20 hours from the case. They can connect to two devices simultaneously and are highly rated for sound quality and comfort.
Soundcore by Anker P40i
Considered a top overall budget choice, the Soundcore P40i delivers excellent sound quality and active noise canceling for under $100.
JLab JBuds Lux ANC
The JLab JBuds Lux ANC are over-ear headphones that offer ANC, a good balance of bass and treble, 44-hour battery life, USB-C support, and an EQ customization app. They deliver a faithful, immersive sound experience for the price.
Sony WF-C500
For those preferring true wireless earbuds, the Sony WF-C500 offers good sound quality, albeit without ANC. While it stretches about $20 more than the $100 limit, the slightly more expensive Sony WF-C710N adds ANC.
EarFun Air Pro 4
The EarFun Air Pro 4 offers good noise canceling for about $63, impressive sound quality, and a solid set of features at a budget price.
Other notable mentions include the Soundcore Liberty 4NC and CMF Buds Pro 2, which offer customizable controls and good sound/call quality, often at discounted prices below $100.
Price Reductions and Notable Features
The Earfun Air Pro 4 earbuds have seen a price reduction from $79 to $62 on Amazon, making them an even more attractive option. The Sony WF-C500 earbuds have also had a price reduction, from $99 to $69 on Amazon.
The Soundpeats Air5 Pro earbuds are comfortable, have solid battery life, and are aesthetically pleasing. They offer ANC, excellent codec support, and solid sound at a lower price than the AirPods 4. The Soundpeats Air5 Pro earbuds also have LDAC support for higher resolution audio.
The Final ZE3000 SV are tiny and comfortable, with a battery life of seven hours. They are some of the favourite budget earbuds of the year, with excellent sound quality and effective Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). These earbuds can be purchased for $89 at final-inc.com. Notably, the Final ZE3000 SV survived a trip through London without dropping out, even in Bluetooth dead zones like train stations.
The JLab Go Pods ANC are priced at $29 and offer impressive sound quality and ANC for their price. However, they could benefit from being more comfortable. On the other hand, their low price makes them a great value.
The Sony WF-C500 earbuds have a great build quality and sound profile, but they do not feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC).
