JLab GO Pop ANC
One of the cheapest ways into noise-cancelling earbuds, as long as you accept weak low-frequency ANC and average sound.

Our verdict
The GO Pop ANC is one of the cheapest ways to get active noise cancellation, multipoint and an IP55 rating in true wireless earbuds. ANC takes the edge off office chatter and fan noise but does little against low road rumble. Sound is serviceable, with thin mids that make vocals less engaging, and the build feels like the budget product it is. Thoughtful extras such as a built-in charging cable, a low-latency Movie Mode and a custom EQ app make up for some of that.
