These true-wireless Anker earbuds are plenty impressive. Their most remarkable feature is the sound quality at this price. Using coaxial driver tech and Anker’s HearID tech, which maps your in-ear pressure for a custom-tailored sound profile, they deliver sound on par with earbuds that cost much more, according to CNET’s resident headphone expert David Carnoy.

They have six built-in microphones for precise, active noise cancellation. And when you account for the wireless charging case, they deliver up to 32 hours of total playtime. With Soundcore’s companion app, you can also customize the equalizer, touch controls and more.
