Soundcore P30i
An impressive feature list and long battery life for the money, though sound quality and noise cancellation reflect the price.

Our verdict
Soundcore's P30i packs adaptive noise cancellation, multipoint pairing and an IP54 rating into a $49.99 pair of earbuds, a feature list that cost several times more only a few years ago. A quoted 10-hour bud battery and 45 hours in total are excellent. The bass-forward tuning suits casual listening but lacks treble clarity, and the app's EQ can only do so much. Noise cancellation tames steady hum but depends heavily on getting a good seal.
