The Best Wireless Earbuds for under $80
What are the Best Earbuds for Me?
Now that a lot of us have gone wireless, it’s hard to look back. Finding a good pair of wireless earbuds that will last without breaking the bank can be hard, especially when you aren’t able to test them out first.
Instead of playing the guessing game when trying to find quality wireless earbuds for a decent price, look no further than WSA! Keep reading this blog to learn about our wireless earbud options that are under $80.
Best Earbud Features for You
There are quite a few things to consider when choosing the features you want from a pair of earbuds. Things like MagSafe charging compatibility, battery life, water resistance, and noise-canceling could be make or break features for you, but how do you know what you need and what you don’t?
It depends on your lifestyle! If you’re wearing earbuds to study or get work done, you might want noise-canceling earbuds to help you focus in. If you wear your earbuds to the gym, water-resistant earbuds might be a good feature for you to ensure they last as long as possible. If you’re just looking for some simple wireless earbuds to listen to music or podcasts from time to time, you might be just fine without any of the fancy features earbuds have today.
Think about when you use earbuds the most and the kinds of things you do while you use them. From there, you can start to narrow down your options and find the best earbuds for you!
Let’s Talk Earbud Models at WSA
Now that you’ve chosen a few features you like out of a new pair of earbuds, we can tell you about some of the models we carry at WSA. We’ve broken this down into a few categories to help you choose the best ones for you! Keep reading to find your perfect match.
Best Earbuds for Exercise Under $60
For our athletic friends, we recommend the Skullcandy Sesh Evo earbuds.
These guys come with a ton of features that are perfect for the gym or going for a run, as well as everyday use. The Sesh Evo’s are unique in that there is no stem to them like many wireless earbuds have, so they fit snugly in your ear with nothing sticking out at the bottom. They have an excellent charge hold, charge quickly, and even come with built-in Tile capabilities. So, if you tend to lose things, these earbuds can be tracked using the Tile function!
These earbuds are also water-resistant, making them great for exercise. Notice the word resistant, though. These guys are not safe to be fully submerged in water!
Other perks include a 2-year warranty, call and volume control, and super easy Bluetooth capabilities. While these earbuds don’t come with a noise-cancellation option, they do have gel ear tips that are comfortable and able to block out more noise than other headphones without them.
These earbuds are comparable to the Beats Studio Buds, but $100 cheaper!
Pros:
- Good battery life, 5 hours per session without the charging case
- Fast charging, 10 minutes charging = 2 hours the average charge

Best Earbuds for Long Listening Under $70
If you like to grind out long study sessions, or you find yourself listening to music or podcasts for long periods, we recommend the Skullcandy Indy Evo earbuds.
The Indy Evo model is similar to the Evo Sesh, but it comes with even better features. These earbuds have a stem and are designed to fit comfortably for long wear, as well as an even better battery life than the Evo Sesh. The ear gels and stability gels that fit into the ear come with different size options as well, so you can customize the fit to your preference.
One of our favorite features of the Skullcandy Indy Evos is the ambient listening mode, which lets a little more outside noise in when you’re listening to music in a place where you also need to hear the sounds around you. Ambient listening is great for outdoor activities.
The Indy Evos also come in a variety of color options, have Tile tracking capabilities, and call and volume controls.
