10 Best Cheap Headphones and Earbuds for 2019 (Under $100)

Both of Jaybird’s latest sub-$100 headphones, the Tarah and the X4, are excellent, durable, long-lived workout buds with fantastic sound quality. But if you don’t need the X4’s special, squishy Comply foam ear tips, the Tarah has everything you need at a sweet price point—and they’re currently quite affordable. My coworker Adrienne So liked the soft earpieces (with wings!) that fit securely out of the box and stayed put while she went trail running, rock climbing, and weight lifting. They weigh less than a half-ounce. Most wonderfully of all, you can tinker with EQ presets in the Jaybird app or create your own custom sound. I wear them absolutely everywhere, from the bus to the beach, and enjoy the impressive eight hours of battery life to the fullest.
