The cheapest headphones on sale in Germany
134 models are on sale today, delivery included. Here they all are from the cheapest up, with the ones the tests rank kept apart, so you can see what the lowest price gets you.
#30Cheap here means today’s lowest price at a shop that delivers to Germany, delivery included. We read the prices again every day, so the order changes with them.
A low price says nothing about what headphones can do. So the models in our ranking come first, each with its place from the maker’s facts and owners’ ratings, and the rest follow below them.
The cheapest of each type
The type is much of the price: over-ear headphones with noise cancelling hold more battery and more microphones than a pair of simple earbuds. This is the cheapest of each type today.
- Over-ear headphones Sony WH-CH720N not ranked59 €
- On-ear headphones Sony WH-CH520 not ranked26 €
- In-ear earbuds Apple EarPods (USB-C) not ranked14 €
- Open-ear earbuds JBL Soundgear Clips not ranked77 €

The score is out of 10: 60% the maker’s facts and 40% shop ratings. Price does not count. A model is ranked only when its form factor and enough of its facts are known. A fact we do not know counts at the market’s average. Method. Models whose type or facts we do not hold yet, so they are not in our ranking. We do track their prices.

What do you give up on cheap headphones?
Mostly four things: noise cancelling that holds up on a train or a plane, a battery that lasts a long day with it switched on, a microphone that keeps your voice clear on a call in a busy street, and the support of an app with updates.
