Are $25 earbuds any good?

Question

Accepted Answer

In 2026, yes. Budget earbuds have improved dramatically. The Soundcore A20i with app EQ sounds better than $100 earbuds from 3 years ago. For casual listening, workouts, and daily use, sub-$30 earbuds are excellent. ANC seekers need to spend $50+.
