Are cheap headphones worth it?
They can be, for podcasts, calls and music at home. Cheap headphones often have weaker noise cancelling or none, a shorter battery life, no app to adjust the sound and no multipoint to switch between a phone and a laptop. Look at our ranking first: it shows which of the cheap models carry the facts that matter to you. The cheapest one the tests rank today is the Sony WF-C510, € 38 at Coolblue.
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. The brand on the box matters less than the price suggests: the facts decide more.
