The wireless earbuds market is huge and there are plenty of options that won’t put you out of too much cash yet still deliver that cordless life with touch controls and great audio. So Becca Farsace got her hands on seven pairs of wireless earbuds from JLab, Skullcandy, 1More, OnePlus, and JBL to see which is the best option under $100.

There should have been an Anker Soundcore Wireless Earbuds. There buds are really good. Using the Life P2 and satisfied with the price of £30/$40. Noise isolation is amazing, the mic is ok. Also having an Android Phone supporting aptX Codec is just a bliss listening to music in this earpods. Just want to make me buy their Liberty Air which are priced a bit high but would be worth that extra money i guess.
Mike Kelly
I got my clone airpods pro at iplaypods .co
and they are awesome. Sound and mic so fluid and clean. Because you do not need to spend 250$ on Apple ones when you can have something like this for cheaper price.
Tomas Smith
awesome ones. I got them to.
Pvsa Morgan
Best review on earbuds!

would love to see some no silicon/ foam recommendations. unfortunately while my left ear is "normal" my right ear cant keep any silicon/foam tips in without fatigue
Josiah Delio
I just bought the indie evos and I gotta say I'm not impressed. The overall quality was disappointing
faisal moidutty
Becca rocks.... Awesome 👍
Tokiomi Tohsaka
I bought a pair of Soundcore liberty air 2 earbuds about 6 months ago, and the battery degradation is crippling (from 6 hours to under 3). I am going to stay away from wireless earbuds and go back to wired.
Lidzz 101
The Skull candy indy evo’s are on sale on amazon for $54!
Wendy Tully
Much appreciated for the 'great review' on earbuds.
DEM BLAAZE
Androgynous child like person reviewing earbuds? How can we take her seriously? 🤯
Khalid Alamin
No Truengine SE 3 ???

I love her!
Kartikey Verma
Me waiting for JBL review
heyimjed
Such a good review and seems like a very nice person as well. Love da vid
Brian Pupecki
Thinking a about the jlabs. I don't like the airpod wannabe look of the OnePlus. I also kinda like the leather case a bit
Samuel Sawian
You’re cool. You should do more reviews. Also, great smile 😊
Aldo Arroyo
and the JBL????
Immortal Potato
Nah mate. Try the Tozo nc9
Strahinja Prole
For me wireless earbuds are awesome. I love them so much. I got my at iplaypods,co and they are awesome. Great quality and price. Noise cancellation is great, mic is fluid, design is same as apple. 10/10 from me.
Scorehound
For myself, I would have to say that the JLab earbuds would be more convenient for someone who travels simply because the charging cable is built into the case so one wouldn't have to remember to bring the charging cable when traveling.
Shea Kadoke
Just bought Skullcandy indy ANC for $85.99 today at best buy watching this video made me laugh so hard when she said she wish she had wireless charging and AN C is rare under $100 which is true these headphones also have the Tile app so if you do misplace them you have GPS location as well as they will chime when you get close enough. I would also like to add if you buy the Skullcandy Indy ANC from the Skullcandy website while you are there they will give you a 25% off product code making those headphones under $100 automatically
Ryan
Very very good review.
Thumbs up.
S.E. 18
Soundpeats has very solid options for less than $50
Marc Michael
I got my pods at iplaypods,co
and they are INSANE. I love them so much because of their quality. Sound and mic are awesome. My recommendation.
Robert Charles
@The Awesome Jeffrey i got them
The Awesome Jeffrey
Your pods?
Robert Charles
Awesome wireless earbuds. I love them so much.
Sri Tej Koduru
Hey, I have been using buds z from OnePlus, they are awesome!
Aaron Lobo
@Sri Tej Koduru yup, thought of waiting until May, maybe with 9 series they might get some additional to buds too! Well hopefully lol.
Sri Tej Koduru
@Aaron Lobo even I was talking about OnePlus type-c bullets! wait for some time man! you already own good one! buds z are good for mobility!
Aaron Lobo
@Sri Tej Koduru Hey btw, I'm referring to the type C bullets, the wired earphones from One Plus. Compared to that is the buds z worth an upgrade? Call and music quality wise?
Sri Tej Koduru
@Aaron Lobo I was one of the first to get budsZ delivered in India!
Aaron Lobo
Thanks* haha
Shafi Mohd
What do you feel about Edifier x3?
super spoon56
someone: its wirelesss me: there not wireless inside wires they are in the buds
Niidea1986
Pay a bit more and get the samsung live. They are simply better.
Will Lord
I love how fantastic the theme of this video is, not everyone can spend over £100 on headphones. Great to see this content and who doesn't love a Becca Verge vid ☺️
Shashikant Choubey
How beautiful can person be.. Becca undoubtedly is ❤️
Nathan Flores
should i buy the skullcansy indy anc or the galaxy buds live?

Downvoted for virtue signaling with a mask OUTSIDE for a video. Lame.
David Slokar
The skullcandy buds are 50dollars now
Nawaz Khan
Hi Love From India,
I have bought OP Buds Z but I'm facing low volume issue any solution please ? Thanks for the review after all
Mohit Verma
This is what we actually needed ❤️
Vishnu Makham
Hey Becca , can you guys do a review on best smart watches also?, This one was great!!
Debopriyo Basu
Listening on Oneplus Buds Z
Debopriyo Basu
@Aaron Lobo yes. I have used both. Call quality is average. I also have a Oppo Enco W31 and OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z. They both sound significantly better than OnePlus Buds Z in phone calls.
Aaron Lobo
@Debopriyo Basu thanks. Have you used both? Also hows the call quality?
Debopriyo Basu
@Aaron Lobo Buds Z is much better sounding than Bullets Type C.
Aaron Lobo
Have you used one Plus type c bullet earphones? Is buds z worth upgrading?
Jayesh G
Love it

If you see heyday wireless earbuds, dont buy them. The bass is horrible and they feel very cheap.
RUHTAB Singh
Skullcandy really delivers when it comes to sound quality. Speaking personally skullcandy has never disappointed me. I recently bought Indy fuel and they’re awesome. Happy with my purchase!! Skullcandy rocks!!!!
Onkar Kadam
And that's how you do a review and comparison... To the point and fun. ❤️
Alex Bradshaw
Becca honestly brightens my day.
shreyansh doshi
Jbl Tws Tune 220 or one plus buds. Which one is better?
Glenn Germain
People be sleeping on anker soundcore
Paul James
A few days ago, i bought the GPED wireless earbuds, it's too amazing! The sound is pretty and the price is so cheap! It has 50% coupons now, go !
Sekou Terry
First off, excellent review. I would have loved an opinion on Sony's WF-XB700 (Around $60 as of writing). They only have IPX4 compared to IPX55 for the OnePlus buds, but I wonder if the "extra bass" claimed by Sony holds up.
vivek daiya
SkullCandy Indy Evo actually has a secure fit in my Initial use.
newfnshow031
Get the tribit flybuds 3
Jack CC
I have subscribed, but I bought Racokky MA15 earbuds a few days ago, the price is only £25.99, they sound pretty good. Thanks

Which one is good for long calls ?
kingkoy007
Great review! Wish you can do a top wireless earbuds for 2020? Not just under a specific price
antzgreen
Lmao Small ear/tiny ear hole person here: I know it doesn't fall under 100$ but hear me out I honestly I can't stand ear buds with that weird rounded rubber thing. It causes that underwater feeling which I hate but also I have tiny ears and ear holes so its prone to push itself out of my ear and fall out and im constantly pushing it back in and adjusting. The galaxy buds live (aka the beans) are amazingly comfortable and secure and have impressive sound quality and oomph for what I expected. If wireless earbuds are a must have and you suffer like me, coughing up the extra dough for the beans is worth it. Especially on sale

Best wireless anti static wrist band
Roshan Deep
I love your hairstyle
Bimo Dwi Satrio
Best buds reviewer on the planet!
Tanmay Jamwal
It would be great if they tested ankers
John Jr
I hope to see more reviews of budget products like various Wyze products (like the Wyze Band, Wyze Watch, Wyze Scale, Wyze Cam, et cetera), budget phones, budget tablets, budget computers, phone cases / holsters, budget smart watches / smart bands, budget graphics cards, budget dress shoes, budget phone headsets, budget clothing, budget eyeglasses, budget wallets, et cetera) by Becca Farsace because she did a great job with this video; keep up the good work.

I got the samsung galaxy buds plus for 99 pounds
Sumit Kumar
That Mac Pro in the background when talking about low budget tech 😵
Pulkit Chaudhary
Her hairstyle👀😻
David
Galaxy Buds Plus are always on sale for $99 and are way better than any of these
Cowicide
Excellent video. It's great to see someone review things like this with a budget in mind. Too many reviewers seem to think most of their viewers are all independently wealthy and money is no object.
Lolitha Ratnayake
you missed moto charge buds which comes for free with box of moto g play $200 phone
Constantijn
Excellent review!
Rahul Pratyush
Am I the only one who’s getting troubles opening becca’s playlist
Vincent Nicopolsky
I have to say: I love Becca's videos. She's so sweet
Cassidy Liston
Your video on the Pixel Buds convinced me to get them... but the left bud kept losing sync with my Pixel4a5g. So I returned them for the Samsung Galaxy Buds+. They're okay, I guess, and only $90 on a Black Friday sale.
Kunj Chauhan
Which phone is that?
Football is here
Why is she so dry?
Linda Duffy
what would you suggest for me who can't get buds to fit since I have ear canals as small as most kids? Even with the smallest tips, they fall out.
gcforreal
You and dieter bohn are 2 of my favorite tech reviewers. Keep it up !
Hilal Younus
What abt the beats flex?
Aditya Kashyap
Damn this playlist is great!! Pumpin up the indie jams on the earbuds!! I like it
dhruv holla
I got the Jabra elite 65ts for 30 dollars lol
Nawaz Khan
Hi Becca, Love from India.
Thank You For The Awesome Video.
jonteaches
Becca, you’re wonderful. 🙏
PNWHookSet
Skip all of these. For $20 you can get the RUMIXI Model H01. Does everything these do and more; the ear bud case acts as a charger for your buds and a 2000mAh powerbank for a quick charge for other devices. Look it up at Amazon. Wont be disappointed and good starter pair. These big tech channels are just paid ads for big companies, not for helping consumers.
flawedhypothesis
Not to take anything from an excellent reviewer, but these things are vastly overrated. If they (Apple et al) hadn't killed the headphone jack to create this market space it would never have taken hold.
