How cheap is it?
Budget active noise-cancelling headphones often cost anywhere from $50 to $100. The question you have to ask yourself is, are you looking for the cheapest ANC headset or are you willing to spend close to $100? Typically, there is a significant difference between a set of ANC tanks that cost $50 to $60 and ANC tanks that cost $80 to $100, especially when it comes to building quality. If you are looking for an upgrade to audio performance, your best bet is sticking to the high end of your budget price range.
design
Budget headphones tend to be a little heavier than more premium models, and they look and feel a bit cheaper. All of our options on this list offer pretty good designs (at least), but some are more attractive than others. It is obviously important to find a design that appeals to you.
fit
The headphones you buy are perfect for your head. The key to a good noise-cancelling headphones is the ear cup that fits your head, so the best pair should provide a comfortable fit but not too comfortable. Ideally, the headphones you want can be worn for the least amount of time of day. Budget headphones can provide a comfortable fit, but more premium headphones tend to have better memory foam and more ergonomic designs.
Durability
You need to keep a good headset well over time, so look for the solid build quality of the models we noticed. Even budget models can be equipped with excellent resilience in tougher conditions.
Performance and functionality to maximize budget
You want the best headphones with the best noise reduction, call quality, and wireless charging. Make sure that when selecting a set of headphones, you can pack as many features as you like, even on your budget.
return policy
If you have a buyer’s remorse, it is crucial to buy headphones at a retailer with a good return policy. Some people who are having trouble between the two models sometimes buy both, then try for a few days, and then return.
