If you are in the market for cheap true wireless earbuds, there are several options to choose from. However, not all cheap earbuds will give a great listening experience because most of them compromise some core features in order to lower the price. In this article, I will share a list of the best earbuds under $100 that can give you an “AirPods-like” experience whether you are using an iPhone or Android device.
Let’s get into the list;

These earbuds are a product of Nothing – a new company founded in late 2020 by former OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei. These earbuds were probably the most hyped tech product before release in 2021. The good news is Nothing managed to meet people’s expectations, thanks to the unique aesthetics and sound quality of their very first product – the Nothing Ear 1.
They have high-end features, including active noise cancellation, 11.6mm dynamic driver in each earbud, Bluetooth 5.2, over 5 hours battery life, and many more. These earbuds also have a slightly deeper base than some of the high-end earbuds, including the AirPods Pro.
- Pixel Buds (US$99)

These are wireless earbuds made by Google. They also come with high-end features that make them worthy of being on this list. The Pixel buds are dust and water-resistant, they have Bluetooth 5.0, up to 5 hours battery life, a 12mm dynamic driver to enhance sound quality, and Passive noise reduction.
- Earfun Air Pro 2 (under US$80)

These are among the best true wireless earbuds that you can get for less than $70. Some of the stand out features they come with include; active noise cancellation, fast Bluetooth 5.0, IPX5 rating for being splash-proof, up to 7 hours battery life (6 hours with ANC on), and an ear-detection sensor to enable automatic pausing of music when the earbuds are put out of your ears. The only downside is that they don’t have an app to tweak their settings.
