Top 3 Wireless Earbuds Under $100

Budget buyers are in luck – you don’t need to spend a fortune to get great wireless earbuds. In 2025, features like ANC, water resistance and long battery life have trickled down to sub-$100 models. Here are three of the best earbuds under $100 that combine performance and value:

• Anker Soundcore Space A40 – Best Overall Under $100. These earbuds pack an incredible feature set for around $80. The Soundcore Space A40 have adaptive ANC, LDAC hi-res audio support, and even multi-point Bluetooth pairing (connect two devices) – perks rarely seen at this price. Their warm sound can be customized via a robust app EQ, and they deliver ~8+ hours per charge with ANC on (50h including the case). In tests, the Space A40 blocked out “an outstanding amount of ambient noise” on trains and in offices. They’re comfortable and compact, too. Overall, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more feature-packed pair under $100.
• EarFun Air Pro 4 – Feature-Packed ANC on a Budget. Priced around $89, the EarFun Air Pro 4 compete with earbuds twice the cost. They sport the latest Bluetooth 5.4 with LDAC and even aptX Lossless codec support for audiophile-level music quality. The default tuning is enjoyable, and you can fine-tune it with a 10-band EQ in EarFun’s app. Notably, the Air Pro 4 offer five ANC modes – in “Strong ANC” they cut noise by about 75%, which is very impressive for this class. They’re also IPX5 water-resistant and comfortable for extended wear (comes with 5 ear tip sizes). Battery life is excellent: ~8.7 hours on a charge, up to ~41 hours with the case. Bonus perks include wireless charging and even Bluetooth multipoint connectivity. The EarFun Air Pro 4 deliver premium features at a bargain price, making them one of the worthy budget earbuds of 2025.
• Jabra Elite 3 – Reliable Sound, Great Value. Often available for ~$70, Jabra’s Elite 3 remain a top choice for value. They have a sleek, ergonomic design that sits securely (without ear hooks) and an incredibly balanced sound profile for the price. While they lack ANC, their passive noise isolation is surprisingly good – they can reduce a fair amount of ambient noise thanks to a tight seal. With 6mm drivers, the Elite 3 deliver clear vocals and punchy bass, and you can use the Jabra Sound+ app to toggle presets or adjust HearThrough (transparency mode) for awareness. They’re IP55 rated (resistant to dust and sweat) and built to last. Battery life is ~7 hours (28h with case). For calls, each earbud has 2 mics and performs decently for the class. In sum: The Jabra Elite 3 are a no-nonsense, dependable pair from a reputable brand – ideal if you want solid sound quality and comfort under $100 without extra frills.

(Honorable mentions: The Skullcandy Push Active (often ~$80) are another great pick for under $100, especially for fitness – they have earhooks for stability, an IP55 rugged build, and 10-hour battery life per charge. Also worth a look are the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE (Samsung’s $99 earbuds) for Android users seeking ANC, and the SoundPEATS Life/Engine series which offer hi-fi codec support on a budget. There are plenty of choices – but the three above stand out in 2025.)
