The JBL Vibe Beam 2 is one of the best Bluetooth earphones you can buy at this price point. They are loaded with features such as active noise cancellation, multiple microphones, dust and splash resistance, and more. These features help deliver a more immersive experience. For example, you can turn on active noise cancellation in streets, public transport systems, airports, and other similarly crowded places if you don’t want to be bothered when listening to music.

Nothing has started making some great earphones lately, but they tend to cost much more than $50. Luckily, its sub-brand CMF has a Pro earphone model under $50 that you should definitely consider. They are outfitted with technologies such as Hybrid Noise Cancellation and more to deliver the ultimate sound experience without draining your wallet. Nothing went a step further and included a total of six microphones, which provide clean and crisp sound quality to the other end during calls.

Noise-cancellationYes
Number of microphones6 (3 on each side)

3) Baseus Bass BP1 Pro

Price: $39.99 (Currently available for $27.99 on promo)

The Baseus Bass BP1 Pro provides similar performance and many of the same features found in more expensive earphones, such as the ones above, but at a lower cost. Its hybrid noise cancellation technology is quite impressive and can cancel out outside environmental noise by up to 50 decibels. It is also equipped with an LDAC codec to deliver a lossless sound experience.

You will instantly be able to hear all the musical instruments clearly with great vocal separation. The Baseus Bass BP1 Pro’s battery life is simply amazing and will last for days on a single charge. The best part is that there’s a huge promo that dropped their price by $12.

SpecificationsDetails
Noise-cancellationYes
Number of microphones6 (3 on each side)
Battery lifeUp to 55 hours

4) Skullcandy Dime 3

Price: $29.92

While features like ANC are quite appealing, some users just don’t care about those extras. They want the best sound quality on a budget, and the Skullcandy Dime 3 can deliver that. The instrument separation, vocal clarity, and even the bass are on point, which is quite impressive for a pair of earphones that cost under $30.

However, it falls short on features such as ANC, microphone quality, and battery life. Don’t get us wrong — 20 hours of battery life is not bad, but others offer much more at the same price point.

SpecificationsDetails
Noise-cancellationNo
Number of microphones2 (1 on each side)
Battery lifeUp to 20 hours

5) Soundcore V20i

Price: $28.48

The Soundcore V20i delivers a decent sound performance that comes quite close to the Skullcandy Dime 3, so you can trust its quality. However, where it falls short is the bass. It is overdone to the point where it may cause some distortion at full volume. If you keep the volume below 90 percent, everything should sound fine without distortion.

In fact, bass heads may actually prefer it over others due to its higher bass impedance. One area where it excels is battery life. It can deliver up to 36 hours of playback on a single charge, which should be more than enough for most users.

SpecificationsDetails
Noise-cancellationNo
Number of microphones2 (1 on each side)
Battery lifeUp to 36 hours

Final Thoughts

The JBL Vibe Beam 2, CMF Buds Pro 2, or even the Baseus Bass BP1 Pro are great options to choose from if you’re looking for features such as ANC, excellent sound quality, and better microphone performance. However, if you have a really tight budget, the Skullcandy Dime 3 is also a fantastic option.

Also, if the promo coupon still exists on the Baseus Bass BP1 Pro by the time you read this, you will be able to get it at the price of the Skullcandy Dime 3 and benefit from features like ANC. You should choose a model that delivers the best value for your money.
