Best Noise Canceling: iLive Truly Wireless Noise Canceling Earbuds

Once upon a time, active noise cancellation was a feature only high-end models could deliver. Now, iLive proves you can reap the benefits of this function without spending more than $70. These earbuds enhance the quality of whatever you're listening to — be it music, a podcast, or phone call — by effectively drowning out any background noise. This makes it a great option to use in high-volume settings like the bus or train, a noisy restaurant, or if you're simply mowing the lawn.

With a four to five-hour battery life, these earbuds aren't meant for lengthy phone calls or business meetings, and you'll have to be vigilant about charging them. That being said, you can use one bud at a time while you charge the other, and they'll still get the job done whether you're playing music while you work out, keeping yourself busy with a movie on a short plane ride, or catching up on your favorite audiobook as you clean the house.

Design-wise, these are made with a short stem and fit snugly into the ear without falling out. The case is also compact and no bigger than the palm of your hand, meaning it'll fit into your pocket easily and can be thrown into your purse without taking up a ton of space. They're also effortless to set up and don't require complicated pairing — the earbuds will recognize your phone and with a couple of taps, you'll be up and running. Sometimes, all you need is a nice-sounding set of earbuds without all the bells, whistles, and high price tag of a higher-end model. This pair checks all the boxes — and then some.
