Cheap headphones today are not just tweeters with a microphone.Modern devices in terms of sound quality, ergonomics and even reliability are quite capable of bypassing some models from the middle price segment. But when choosing available ears, it is important:

  • Focus on the manufacturer. The most popular among the cheap "ears" are models from Xiaomi, JBL, Panasonic, HONOR and Sony. Headphones from these brands give out good sound for a reasonable price.
  • Thoroughly check the device before purchase. Marriage among inexpensive headphones is the most common problem. Buying cheap "ears" looks like a roulette wheel: you can get lucky and you will become the owner of a device that is worth every ruble spent. Or it could be quite the opposite.
  • Be clear about your preferences. Do you need the highest quality sound? Then the best option would be a wired model. If you want hands-free comfort while exercising, then true wireless headphones are more suitable for such tasks.

Do not make excessive demands on budget headphones - they will not come true. The inexpensive models presented in the rating are more designed for ordinary users than for audiophiles. The devices show themselves well in daily use and cope with basic needs: listen to music, answer a call or watch a movie, a video on YouTube.
