Affordable Bluetooth Earbuds: Quality Sound for Less than €40
High-end earphones dominate at the Foundation.
Looking for top-quality Bluetooth earbuds without breaking the bank? Stiftung Warentest, a renowned consumer organization, has got you covered! While some of the best earbuds can cost a fortune, you don't have to spend an arm and a leg to enjoy great sound. In fact, you can find fantastic earbuds for less than €40!
Bluetooth earbuds are perfect for summer, offering breathable comfort and easy portability. With the market offering a plethora of options, Stiftung Warentest recently tested 289 still-available devices, including nine new additions.
Top Performers Under €100
Sennheiser's Accentum True Wireless earbuds, priced around €117, lead the pack with a quality rating of 1.6. Stiftung Warentest appreciates the sound and durability, rating them as very good, while the active noise cancellation (ANC), battery life, and comfort and ease of use received good ratings.
Several models share second place with an overall rating of 1.7, including technology giants Bose and Jabra. The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds Gen. 2 (€239) and the Jabra Elite 10 Gen. 2 (€354) both exhibit very good durability and overall good ratings.
Best Value for Money
If you're looking for the best value for your money, look no further than the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE, which average just €77. Their sound, ANC, and durability are very good, and their comfort and ease of use are good. However, their battery life is slightly lower and kept them from first place.
Technics EAH-AZ80 share similar ratings but come at a higher price point, averaging €222, positioning them out of the affordable range.
Apple's Airpods Pro Gen. 2
The Apple Airpods Pro Gen. 2 (€277) earn third place with a quality rating of 1.8. Their sound, ANC, and durability are excellent, but their battery life, comfort, and ease of use received good ratings.
For those not requiring active noise cancellation, you can still find good-quality earbuds for less than €40. Among the cheapest options are the Isy ITW-600, priced around €35 and scoring 2.3, and the Fresh 'n Rebel Twins Fuse, averaging €37, offering good sound but with average battery life, comfort, and ease of use.
While Stiftung Warentest doesn't specifically outline budget Bluetooth earbuds under €40 in their latest tests, it's evident that quality sound can be found at affordable prices. Consider exploring budget-friendly brands like Xiaomi, or look for reviews from other sources specializing in affordable earbud options. Enjoy your music without the premium price tag!
