There are numerous options for earbuds, ranging from high-end sets with advanced features and excellent audio quality to more budget-friendly options that still perform well. Our recommendation for the best budget wireless earbuds is the Soundcore by Anker Space A40, which has dropped to a record low price of $49 from its usual $80 retail price, making it a great deal. These lightweight earbuds offer 10 hours of battery life and an additional 40 hours with the charging case, along with fast charging capabilities. While the sound profile may lack some detail compared to higher-end models, the earbuds provide warm tones and decent bass performance, with adjustable EQ settings and touch controls available through the Soundcore app. The Space A40 earbuds also feature an IPX4 water resistance rating, allowing them to withstand sweat and light rain, and include active noise cancellation technology that performs well for earbuds in this price range. Other notable features include the ability to use each earbud independently, connect to two devices simultaneously, and adjust ANC levels manually. However, the mic quality may not be the best for phone calls, and there is no auto-pause feature when removing an earbud. Overall, the Soundcore by Anker Space A40 earbuds offer solid performance in various aspects, making them a compelling choice in the earbud market.
