The <strong>best budget headphones to buy in 2021<\/strong> offer comfort, design, and the deep bass and clear treble you want. Some models feature wireless or Bluetooth connectivity, giving you freedom to move without being tethered to your device. Others feature an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/best-open-back-headphones\/\">open<\/a> or semi-open design for expansive audio.<\/p>\n<p>In all cases, our top picks make your music sound better than it ever has on the tiny earbuds that came with your phone. Even better, they\u2019re available in a price range that won\u2019t hurt your wallet.<\/p>\n<h2>What makes great sounding budget headphones?<\/h2>\n<p>The best headphones create deep but not overwhelming bass, lifelike midrange, and clear but not piercing treble. What does that mean? Instruments like drums and bass guitar create low bass notes. Midrange is typically where you\u2019ll find voices. Treble is the high notes, not just piccolos and the high strings on a guitar, but the ringing, atmospheric overtones to all instruments that add a sense of space.<\/p>\n<p>The best inexpensive headphones deliver all these frequencies with high fidelity (hi-fi).<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Best budget on-ear headphones<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On-ear headphones are smaller and lighter than over-ear headphones. Some listeners find the smaller design more comfortable, as these devices sit entirely on top of your ears. That\u2019s different from a larger, over-the-ear pair of headphones that nestles around and over your ears.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-70696 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Sony-WH-XB700-EXTRA-BASS-Wireless-Bluetooth-On-Ear-Headphones-e1621883969403-1024x883.jpeg\" alt=\"Sony WH-XB700 EXTRA BASS Wireless Bluetooth On-Ear Headphones\" width=\"605\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Sony-WH-XB700-EXTRA-BASS-Wireless-Bluetooth-On-Ear-Headphones-e1621883969403-1024x883.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Sony-WH-XB700-EXTRA-BASS-Wireless-Bluetooth-On-Ear-Headphones-e1621883969403-300x259.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Sony-WH-XB700-EXTRA-BASS-Wireless-Bluetooth-On-Ear-Headphones-e1621883969403.jpeg 1134w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 605px) 100vw, 605px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/sowhxb700l.html\">Sony WH-XB700 EXTRA BASS Wireless Bluetooth On-Ear Headphones<\/a>, (<span class=\"dynamic-data\" data-type=\"price\" data-sku=\"SOWHXB700L\"><\/span>)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"tn-read-more\" href=\"http:\/\/www.adorama.com\/sowhxb700l.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buy Now<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Sony WH-XB700 EXTRA BASS Wireless Bluetooth On-Ear Headphones claim an impressive 30 hours of battery life in addition to 30mm drivers and neodymium magnets for rich bass and pristine treble.
