Btootos Wireless Earbuds with Noise Cancelling Mic and LED Display: A Full Review

I lose earbuds at an alarming rate, which means I refuse to spend more than thirty bucks on a pair for the gym or my daily train ride. That habit led me to track down the best cheap wireless earbuds amazon had to offer, and these Btootos ones kept popping up with an absurdly high review count. For under $25, you have to keep your expectations grounded. You aren't getting audiophile-grade sound separation here. But what you do get is surprisingly punchy bass and a connection that doesn't stutter when you put your phone in your back pocket. The case has a digital LED battery display on the front, which is a feature I honestly wish premium audio brands would steal. It takes the guesswork out of knowing if they'll survive a long flight. The 14.2mm drivers push out plenty of volume, though the high notes can sound a bit thin and harsh if you max it out. Call quality is passable for quick chats; the ENC noise reduction tries its best, but busy street traffic will still bleed through to whoever you're talking to. They are incredibly light and IP7 waterproof, meaning I can sweat through a heavy workout and just wipe them down. If you want a backup pair that you won't cry over losing, or just need something functional that doesn't cost a week's groceries, these get the job done.
