Anker Noise Cancelling Earbuds
Wireless earbuds with adaptive noise cancelling and a case that doubles as a phone stand. A practical upgrade for someone still using wired earbuds.
$27.99
These are true wireless earbuds with adaptive ANC that claims to reduce noise by up to 42 dB. Battery runs about 10 hours per charge with ANC off, 7 hours with it on. The case adds another 35–38 hours depending on whether you're using noise cancelling.
The case works as a phone stand, which is handy if someone watches videos during their commute or while traveling. Saves packing a separate stand.
Comes with three ear-tip sizes. Fit matters for ANC performance — the app includes a fit test to help dial it in. Quick charge gives you about 2 hours of listening from a 10-minute top-up.
Why it works
- Case doubles as a phone stand for watching videos on the go.
- 10-hour battery means fewer midweek charges for most people.
- Three ear-tip sizes included — fit varies, so options help.
Who it's for
- Someone who wants noise cancelling without spending $200.
- A commuter or traveler who watches a lot of video on their phone.
What to know
- ANC performance depends on getting the right ear-tip fit.
- Clean the mesh filter occasionally with rubbing alcohol to prevent buildup.
- Make sure everything's dry before charging — port and earbuds.
