The 20 Decebel ANC TWS, Tozo NC9, TaoTronics SoundLiberty 94 and Dyplay Shield Pro are almost identical cheap wireless ANC earbuds under $100.

The HearWiki takeAI-condensed

The TOZO NC9 are budget-friendly true wireless earbuds that offer hybrid active noise cancellation, robust waterproofing, and solid battery life for the price. They deliver a smooth, enjoyable sound signature with an app-based EQ to fine-tune the audio, though call quality and lack of multipoint support hold them back. Overall, they're a decent value pick for those seeking affordable ANC earbuds with good endurance.

RecordingNow rated the NC9 highly for noise cancelling and value, while noting that the stock tuning is harsh for music before EQ adjustments. The review presents it as one of the stronger low-cost ANC earbuds if you are willing to use the app’s EQ tools.

Scarbir judged the 2024 NC9 to be a decent budget option, but not especially distinctive beyond its app features. The review notes weak call quality, no multipoint support, and a fun sound signature, while still giving it a good overall rating.

Solid battery life, an enjoyable smooth sound, and a great fit. The 20Decebel ANC TWS, Tozo NC9 and TaoTronics SoundLiberty 94 may not offer strong ANC on top off the already good passive noise isolation, but still come easily recommended. Between these four, the 20Decebel has a slight advantage with its app, and the Dyplay should be your pick if you like a more balanced sound. The Tozo NC9 is the least favourable option, because it doesn't let you turn ANC off.

Great but bad for my ear morphology

They are easy to set up which is great. The noise canceling option works well and is noticeable when you turn it on and off. The case shows how much charge is left and it charges pretty fast. So I mRead more

Probably worth what they cost

TL/DR: A decent option at the price, but don t expect flawless performance from them. These are not a good substitute for a nicer set of earbuds. These are earbuds you buy for a child, or someone whoRead more
