What reviewers said

Haylou T19

The Haylou T19 delivers impressive audio quality for its budget price, featuring a lively and well-balanced sound profile with strong bass and detailed highs. While its design and touch controls leave room for improvement, the overall performance and features like ANC and wireless charging make it a compelling option for cost-conscious buyers.

  • Pro:Excellent sound quality for the price
  • Pro:Active noise cancellation included
  • Pro:Supports aptX and AAC codecs
  • Con:Bulkier charging case
  • Con:Earbud design is not very attractive
  • Con:Touch controls can be unreliable

JLab Go Pods ANC

These budget true wireless earbuds deliver a surprisingly robust feature set for the price, including hybrid active noise cancellation, wireless charging, and multipoint connectivity. Sound leans slightly bass-heavy but remains clear and engaging, while the companion app offers a custom EQ to tailor the audio to your liking. They're a strong value pick, though battery life is shorter than some rivals and call quality has some limitations.

  • Pro:Excellent value for the price
  • Pro:Effective hybrid ANC for the cost
  • Pro:Useful app with custom EQ
  • Con:Bass-heavy sound may not suit purists
  • Con:Battery life is below average for the class
  • Con:Call quality is mediocre in noisy settings
