Since headphone jacks stopped being a common feature on phones, wireless earbuds have become a must-have accessory. However, if you\u2019re not keen to spend the circa \u00a3200 required to bag a top-end pair of earbuds, then there are still some great options at low prices. We\u2019ve run down some of the best available today on this page.<\/p>\n

Many committed audiophiles continue to favour over-ear headphones, but it\u2019s not hard to see the appeal in wireless earbuds for the average listener. <\/span>They\u2019re incredibly light, take up little space \u2013 whether in your bag or your general headspace \u2013 and if they\u2019re a decent pair, will fit securely and comfortably.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They can also come with a range of additional features, such as ANC (active noise cancellation), EQ control, personalisable sound and in-ear detection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And they\u2019re particularly popular for gym sessions since they give you a (merciful) alternative to whatever\u2019s playing over the speakers there while not giving you any cumbersome headphones or wires to contend with during your workout.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Until the last few years, you really had to pay for the privilege of earbuds, with premium examples like the AirPods Pro coming with a hefty RRP of \u00a3249.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And not everybody has that kind of cash to splash. Luckily, there\u2019s been a boom in budget-friendly earbuds in the last few years, with plenty of excellent choices available from the likes of Huawei, Skullcandy, Cambridge Audio and JBL.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our team of technology experts has put a number of them to the test \u2013 and you\u2019ll find their pick of the very best models below.<\/span><\/p>\n
