TOP 10 Earbuds Under $50 (With CUSTOM RANKING)

[@roebbiej]

The fact that this information is free is insane. thank you so much.

[@rosca.do.paraná82]

Great video! One of the strong points here is the mention of equalization. Almost no one messes with equalizers and that's why they talk badly about some models that could sound great with a simple adjustment. Right in the bull's-eye! (Using google translator. From Brazil)

[@pickyaudio]

Thank you! I'm glad you find that useful 🇧🇷👋

Been rocking with the QCY’s for about 6 months and let me tell you, they are amazing for the price. You won’t regret picking them up.

[@cursetennn]

The scoring spreadsheet is really helpful - you did so much work for this review so thank you! Keep it up!

[@pickyaudio]

Thanks will do!

[@yudheyuyu1213]

Melobuds FTW. Have it for almost 2 months and they've been sit on my ears more often than earfun air pro 3

[@pickyaudio]

Awesome stuff!

[@TheCasaara]

Bro! Your content is fire as always. I see those lifts have increased as well 😍

[@pickyaudio]

Thanks brother!

[@BJPerryJr]

Another great Picky ranking, yet again. I been debating on grabbing the CMF Buds Pro just to have in my collection, but now you have me looking at the QCY buds. Great work my man💯💪👍

[@pickyaudio]

Cheers BJ! I was trying to get the CMF Buds as well which are a bit cheaper and have multipoint. Another potential option haha

[@BJPerryJr]

@@pickyaudio thanks man… I appreciate it. I see positive reviews about the CMF buds as well as the Pros, so I might eventually check em out

[@bfish9700]

I bought the edifier based on your review. The noise cancelling on these things are really impressive.

[@minthantkyawswar4950]

How is the sound quality? I am not sure what to choose between cmf buds pro 2 and edifier tws pro2

[@gayanchaturanga1095]

Always helpful. Qcy recently released new 2 buds ht10 ailybuds pro + and melobuds pro with hi-res audio support. Please review them too.

[@alessandropetrini8664]

Engine 4 incredible sound quality for the price, even better with sedna earfit light short tips!

[@okite374]

woahhhh, this is my first time buying earbuds for myself and I've been considering the Engine 4's for a while now from Picky Audio and Kenneth Tanaka's reviews! I'm not really a transparency and ANC chaser anyway cuz I'm mostly indoors, and those drain the battery life quicker anyway. My only problem is that the Engine 4's might give me a bit of discomfort while side sleeping cuz they do look a bit chunky. And the SoundPEATS app reviews on Play Store aren't that great as well. What's your say about this? Cheers! 🍻

[@alessandropetrini8664]

@@okite374 Hi! Don't mind the reviews, the app it's not the best but it's ok, i used it only for updating the buds, the eq works if you need it. But personally i like the stock tuning with the sedna eartips that i bought separately. I can't help you with the other question, i don't sleep with them. If you are looking only for sound quality and affordable price it's a no brainer 👌

[@pickyaudio]

@@okite374 I agree they are quite chunky so not suitable for side sleeping. The SP app is trash and It might require a login from emory which is why the reviews are low. Once you have made an EQ though it saves and you won't need to use the app again.

[@theevildude666]

Great smash bros reference 😂.. love the vid. Soundpeats ftw!

[@pickyaudio]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@MrBryGuy69]

Nice video! Very well done! I like how much detail you put into this. I've only watched a couple of your videos now, and they were both very well done with a lot of detail. After all, the fine details matter! I've been looking at buds for a couple weeks now, in this price range. I had my eye on the Tozo NC7's, but now that I know they didn't score well in some areas and overall, I'm kind of looking at something else. I've found several buds by Soundcore, but you didn't review any in this video. How come none of theirs made this list? Did they screw you over? Bad rap with them? They have a few at $50 and under that are on my list. I've always heard good things about them in other videos I've watched. So, I was just wondering why none were featured in this video. I'll have to check your other videos now...

[@pickyaudio]

Thanks! The decent Soundcore buds under $50 are hard to get in Australia right now so I just couldn't get any in time for this video. The hardest part aobut these top 10 videos is actually being able to get all the buds then choosing only 10.

[@MrBryGuy69]

​ ​Ah, sorry. I didn't know you were in Australia. That's a bummer you can't or couldn't get them. They seem like highly rated ones... Which could be a reason you can't get them there. I did add those Melobuds to my wishlist, thanks to you. They do seem like a good bang for the buck bud! Thanks!

[@dariussatius1621]

I already have the toxo nc7 pro, but this video came in just at the right time because I need to choose another pair Thank you Picky, reallly detailed review!

[@pickyaudio]

No worries I hope you find the right bud

[@syedsadatraj4137]

I've always found Melobuds ANC as the best deal in the market at this price range. The buds is just too good and the ANC is so balanced.

[@pickyaudio]

Agreed!

[@eluv2401]

Great breakdown. I do love my Donner’s. I prefer the clarity from the dual driver and prefer it over the Earfun. I do own the Moondrop but have not really used them because no app so I can’t really test them out to their full potential.

[@pickyaudio]

Yea the Donner's are solid value. You can get them for $19 in Australia at times which is crazy

[@MathError-gh7ok]

Great Video Man. Hope you will achive 100k subs within 1 month. Keep going....

[@kamenxxx9037]

really dig the "new challenger" in this video. kinda gives off tekken's arcade vs mode. I am also surprised (but not really hahaha) that engine 4 tops every earbuds in this list. I must confirm that it is THE BEST sounding pair i have, tho i cant say i like the fitting. great review as always, audio JESUS!

[@pickyaudio]

haha yea trying to combine Pokemon and Smash Bros. 🙌

[@ipatates]

I am glad I found your channel, awesome video. Thank you.

[@John-q5y6o]

Awesome review man! So much depends on price, availability and the feature set you're looking for, or are willing to trade off depending on the environment or usage scenario. That's why I have so many pairs and am always considering more 😂 and why many of us use 3 or more pairs on any given day! I always look forward to your reviews!

[@syedsadatraj4137]

Nice review Picky! Can you make a review on the latest QCY HT10 Ailybuds? It's pricing and features sound good deal to me.

[@pickyaudio]

The Melobuds upgrade! Looks like there will be a new No.1!

Hey picky great video. I have a question for you which one of these 3 do you recommend? The 1MORE pistonbuds, the Earfun air s or the cmf buds pro.

[@pickyaudio]

CMF Buds Pro are solid overall wth the least flaws. 1MORE PistonBuds have the wearing detection issue but give you better sound customisation

[@ZaksterBlue]

I just grabbed some $16 blitzwolf bw-anc6 (on sale on AE) and it blows me away that I prefer the sound of these over anything I've owned before (though many years old now). Then I stumbled across your video and now am wondering if what I'm thinking is a great sound wouldn't even rank on your comparison. FOMO is kicking in!! Lol

[@luizabastos]

Thanks for the video. Can I ask you something? Do you have any recommendations for earbuds for very small ears, but without stems? My hair always catches on earbuds that have stems and ends up pulling them out of my ears.

[@pickyaudio]

No worries! I’ve heard the Sony Linkbuds S work well for smaller ears. You’ll never know till you try though

[@arnoldhenning6791]

Hi, sorry, juet want to make sure. Do the TWS1 Pro 3 definitely support anc when using only 1 earbud? And also, I know this is a bit oof topic, but I have the same question regarding the Liberty 3 pros? Thanks a lot. And by tge way, great videos

[@mikeevans7381]

Nice job again my friend thank you. I have the Donner Do Buds and the Air 4 Pro. I've come to really appreciate earbuds at any price point that have good mids not only does it add depth to the sound but it allows me to listen to different genres of music without having to mess with the EQ more than once. The Air 4 Pro is versatile in this way I love my JBL's but I feel like I have to EQ them more often than the Soundpeats. To my ears the Donners are louder than the Soundpeats when using the Donner custom EQ you're measurements tell me I'm wrong. What gives? Thanks again. 💯🔥🔥🇺🇸

[@pickyaudio]

Cheers Mike. Yea the Air4 Pro really has a versatile sound. I'm not too sure abut the readings. Sometimes I do notice the readings don't completely match what I hear.

[@mikeevans7381]

@@pickyaudio That's kinda what I thought thanks. One question when you have the time. What do you think about the sound quality of the Earfun Free Pro 3s? I have the Pro 2s is it worth upgrading? 💯🇺🇸

Great video! I’m searching for a new pair of earbuds that I can workout with. I have the JBL tune buds but they hurt my ears. Which JBL earbud fits like the AirPods 1 and which one would you recommend. I’m interested in the tune flex and the live flex and I don’t care about the price.

[@seweratas]

A thorough comparison as usual! Need help though... I can get the melobuds and a new (open box) galaxy buds fe for practically the same price, which do you reckon would be better?

Buds FE sound better. I’ve got the CMF Buds Pro not the CMF Buds. CMF buds pro are more bass boosted compared to the ear 2

[@V7Z7]

Hey, Between the Jabra Elite 8 Active and the Sony LinkBuds S, which would you recommend for someone looking for high-quality sound and effective noise cancellation during workouts and daily use?

[@JuranID]

I've been a huge fan of the Skullcandy 💀 Crusher line for six years. I have all the Crusher (bluetooth) 🎧. I'll buy ANC2 Possum (cool color combination, but i'll replace earpads and buy Black ones 👌) when they're available online 👑💀💣🤟💪👌😁👍🤝✌️.

[@nirvanu2]

I completely agree, the engine 4 is the best at its price if you are only looking for sound quality, it's a shame it doesn't have ANC, otherwise they would be crazy!

The Qcy Melobuds Ht05 were really a very very good surprise, I bought them to replace my Earfun Air Pro 1 which had failed me, while waiting for the delivery of my Soundcore Liberty 4 NC, finally, I canceled the 4NC. They are more than sufficient, especially for their price $20, and above all have a quality which for me is essential on an earbud, their microphones in phone calls, especially in noisy or windy environments are exceptional. All I'm asking from Qcy (even if it has to cost $10 more) is a new model, with multipoint, proximity sensor for automatic play-pause, Google Fast-Pair if possible, but above all while keeping the same phone call quality 🙏🏽 Ps: the Earfun Air S are from Earfun, what the Melobuds Ht05 are from Qcy, I recommend, and the Qcy that I ask from Qcy already exist at Realme, the Realme Buds Air 5 Pro. 🙏🏽
