While I regularly carry several of the top-ranking best wireless earbuds with me as my go-to choices for music listening, it's rare for me to pack a pair of budget buds into my work, gym or travel bags. In truth, I prefer the upmarket features, performance and solid app integration that comes with mid- and flagship-level wireless earbuds designs, although I readily admit that there are plenty of cheap wireless earbuds worth considering, too.
How low-cost you go can be tough to call if top sound quality is your goal, but on a recent vacation I decided to ditch my favorite audiophile earbuds and packed a $50 option into my carry-on bag as a companion. I had no idea how the EarFun Air 2 would perform until I tried them out on my flight, but they were better than I expected.
