The Best Earbuds Under $50 in 2023 - Why Pink Floyd

Top Picks

• Best Overall: Soundcore by Anker Life A1  

The A1 is protected against sweat and water (to the extent of an IPX7 certification), so you may use it without worry throughout your workout. Unlike more expensive headphones, this one doesn't come with fancy extras like automatic ear identification, but it still makes for a great workout buddy. Even though Anker hasn't incorporated active noise cancellation in these headphones because of the low price, they nevertheless provide decent passive isolation. A selection of ear tips and wing tips are included to provide a secure and comfortable fit.

• Best Listening Time: Beats Flex Wireless Earbuds   

The Beats Flex, as a set of wireless earbuds on a budget, is highly recommended for every iPhone owner thanks to its integration with the W1 processor. The W1 processor isn't as high-end as the H1 chip, so you can't use Siri without touching the phone, but you do get automated device switching (within the Apple ecosystem) and better battery life. Thanks to its long battery life and rapid charging features, you can jam to your tunes for just over 10 hours straight. The USB-C charging cord just has to be plugged in for ten minutes to provide the headphones eighty-five minutes of usage.

• Best Dual Connect: JLab Go Air Pop True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds  

The JLab GO Air POP is another pair of no-frills wireless earbuds that won't break the bank. You may sweat in this headset without damaging it, but you shouldn't immerse it in water. It's not likely to break, but if it does, you won't have to worry about spending a fortune replacing it. In contrast to the original JLab GO Air's open design, the POP version of the case has a cover to keep the earphones safely within. The earphones feature an 11-hour battery life and can be quickly recharged in their carrying bag. As usual, JLab's trademark built-in USB-A charging connection is included, ensuring that you can top up your case's battery whenever you need to.

• Best for Clear Call: 1MORE PistonBuds Bluetooth Headphone 

While the 1MORE PistonBuds' stemmed design is reminiscent of Apple's AirPods, the 1MORE's thick stems provide a unique twist. That way, the PistonBuds may be put in and taken out of ears without calling undue attention to the earphones. The IPX4 grade means that the headset can withstand moderate water pressure without being damaged. One of the most important features for those with hearing loss is the ability to listen in mono with either earbud. Bass sounds are boosted and sound twice as loud as middle notes, creating a consumer-friendly sound quality.

• Best Wireless Calls: JBL Tune 125TWS True Wireless 

As the JBL Tune 125TWS is already many years old and JBL constantly releases new true wireless earbuds, you can get this headset for less than $50 USD (its original price was $99 USD). The earbuds can play music for 8 hours without the USB-C case and another 24 hours with the case plugged in. If you're working out in the fresh air or have hearing loss, you may switch to mono mode and utilize either earbud. Earphone pairing with an Android device is a breeze thanks to Google Fast Pair, a feature developed in collaboration between JBL and Google.
