- David and David here to tell you about
the best headphones under $100.
- And we've spent over $8,000 on headphones
over the last six months.
People don't send us these for free.
So we hope you can trust our reviews.
- Yep, we listened to eight tracks
where we tested for comfort, portability, durability.
What's number five?
- Number five is the Anker
- [David] Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pros.
- [David] Right, and also the most expensive.
I thought that they were
a decent sounding pair of headphones,
decent balance, but too much treble.
I gave these the lowest rankings on the songs
where we were really listening to bass.
- Yeah, that was probably my main note across the board.
Where's my bass.
- Where's my bass.
- It needs more bass.
- It does.
- I'm by no means an expert on kind of
telling the nuances in songs
like when it's too much treble or too much bass or whatever.
I could tell that this, the treble was ridiculous.
One thing I really like about these headphones, earbuds
is that they come with nine different sizes.
You got a whole bunch of sizes, look at that.
Too many sizes, too much liberty.
So you can really find one that fits you perfectly.
Even the higher end ear buds don't include that many sizes.
- That's for sure. And we liked the case,
the little slide up feature.
We felt like it was pretty well built as well.
- Yeah.
- Pretty portable, fits in your pocket.
Good stuff for under a hundred dollars.
- You could do worse for a hundred bucks.
- You certainly could.
- I prefer the OnePlus Bullets.
If you're looking for a budget earbud,
and I think we might disagree on this.
- Well, it's number four me as well.
I'm just not as big of a fan of them as David was.
So he likes them because there was a lot of bass I think.
And you felt like they were powerful.
I felt like there was way too much bass,
that there was no clarity in the high end.
And I felt like they were very uncomfortable.
- So, here's the thing.
If you can't deal with this
and I can understand if you don't want the earbuds
that have a gigantic cable.
- Yeah.
- That's fine. It's a little takes some getting used to.
And you'll look kind of dorky,
but I think the sound quality on these is,
is much better than on the Anker earbuds.
- Interesting.
Yeah. I'd put them around the same,
but I thought that the balance was much better
on the Ankers.
- $47 for these earbuds, half the price of the Ankers.
- That's right.
You could either have two of those,
but don't cut them in half because they'll break.
- Yeah. I'm hoping OnePlus actually
puts out some real earbuds.
- And hopefully they'll be under a hundred dollars
or else they're not going to be on our next video like this.
- Hopefully they'll be under a hundred dollars. Yes.
Number three.
- Anker Soundcore Life Q30's.
- Anker. Two Anker submissions on this list.
- It's pretty surprising, isn't it?
Now these, I gave a three out of five
and if you haven't seen our other reviews about headphones,
you might want to check those out
because that's why I'm going to say that for number three,
they sound uninspiring.
They sound clear. There's not a lot of bass.
I felt that they lacked some depth and they lacked oomph.
there was a lack of oomph.
How do you spell oomph.
But, sounded pretty good.
- I also give these a 3.5, just, you know,
$79 for these headphones. Good value.
- Good value, good headphones.
- It's not going to blow your mind. They're not awful
like some of the other headphones
that we've looked at.
- Right.
- Just they're priced appropriately.
- But I think that these are probably the best option
in the over the ear category.
And actually the only over the ear headphones
that we have on the table.
So if you prefer over ear,
these are the ones to get for under a hundred bucks.
- Number two.
- Yes. Number two are the JBL Tune 660NC's
which are noise-canceling,
which a lot of the other ones at the table don't have.
- So these didn't make our top three
when we did our best on ear roundups.
They just weren't quite as good
as the more expensive options,
but the more expensive options are of course more expensive.
- That's for sure.
- Uh, excuse me, Professor Brainiac.
- Okay in terms of comfortability.
I felt like they were very well balanced,
but the quality of the speakers
is just not what you're going to find in the Sonys
or the Bose or Sony XM4's
or headphones that cost multiple times
as much as these two,
they did a good job with these headphones.
It's just that they're just
not as good quality materials, I think.
- I mean, you're paying a hundred dollars for headphones.
You're not expecting the moon.
You're getting a good value for those.
- That's good. If you expect the moon,
you're going to be disappointed.
- Yes.
- Riddikulus.
- Number one overall Skullcandy Riff Wireless.
You've watched our over ear headphones video.
We really hated the crusher wireless.
- Are you hearing that?
- Yeah, yeah.
But these were actually a pretty good value
and I was surprised.
- For 50 Bucks. What a great value there.
And they're half the price of the title of the video.
We're not getting money from Skullcandy
or SoundCore for putting two of their products on the table.
- You should see what we said about the crusher wireless,
if you want proof of that.
- Unless you're a Skullcandy representative
and you're thinking about sending us money,
don't watch that other video.
But these are really good headphones.
- A really good budget option.
And I have the Beats Solo3 wireless,
and I'm like, okay,
these are really expensive headphones.
And I try these on, the beats sound better.
I think they're a little bit more comfortable,
but the price difference, it made me think, you know, maybe.
- Yeah. For 50 bucks, what a great gift for somebody.
And they sound really surprisingly good.
There are so many bad options
in this under a hundred dollar range.
Weis headphones, Jabra headphones,
Acclaim headphones or Acayenne headphones,
run for the hills.
But these are really some good stuff.
- Yeah. Leave a comment down below.
Let us know what you think.
I mean, if there's some other cheap headphones
you want us to check out.
- We'll gladly spend less than $8,000
on a few cheaper pairs.
- Yes, absolutely.
