Discover the best sub-$100 true wireless earbuds of 2025. We compare ANC, sound quality, battery life and features from Soundcore, Samsung, JBL and OnePlus.
Over-ear headphones have their charm, but day to day most people reach for compact true wireless buds. Not long ago, truly good sound lived well past $150–$200; in 2025, there are sub-$100 options that compete surprisingly well with established flagships. The Pepelats News team handpicked the standouts, focusing on sound quality, comfort, and thoughtful features.
One of the most well-balanced pairs in this price range. Noise canceling holds its own against far pricier models, with deep bass and detailed mids. The companion app lets you fine-tune the EQ, and transparency mode sounds natural. Expect about 8–9 hours of playback per charge and up to 40 with the case. For the budget, the tuning feels mature and cohesive.
A streamlined take on Galaxy Buds for those who want Samsung earphones without the flagship price. They’re light, comfortable, secure in the ear, and offer a warm signature that suits pop and hip-hop. The ANC isn’t record-breaking, but it’s practical. The standout advantage is seamless integration with Samsung Android phones: instant pairing, quick switching between devices, and gesture controls.
Popular with the mainstream for their lively, energetic sound. JBL still favors the low end, but recent generations have improved the treble too. Call quality benefits from solid microphones. There’s basic ANC and an ambient mode. For $70–$90, you get a dependable everyday set that doesn’t ask you to fuss with intricate settings.
The big appeal is the balance between sound and comfort. You get a convincing soundstage, lively highs, and well-considered noise canceling. They run up to 10 hours on a charge, support fast charging, and can connect to multiple devices. On OnePlus phones, LHDC codec support adds extra appeal for those users.
If you want both style and substance, this is among the most interesting sub-$100 picks. A transparent case, a distinctive app interface, and a tuned sound with a roomy stage, an emphasis on detail, and pleasing bass. The ANC is middle-of-the-road, but the overall playback quality makes up for it. Crucially, they don’t sound “cheap.”
If you want the most versatile pair with strong noise canceling, Soundcore Liberty 4 NC is a reliable choice. Owners of Samsung phones usually find Galaxy Buds FE the smoothest match. Those who prefer an energetic, bass-forward character should look to JBL, while Nothing Ear (a) will resonate with anyone who values design and clarity in equal measure. And if your phone is from OnePlus—or you simply want a lot of tech for the money—OnePlus Buds 3 comes across as the most balanced option.
