Best earbuds for Nothing Phone 2 in 2024
If you're looking for the perfect set of earbuds to complement the Nothing Phone 2, our roundup is here to help
When it comes to tech-forward style and solid value, the Nothing Phone 2 is one of the best mid-priced Android phones on the market. It's not only easy on the eyes; the Nothing Phone 2 is also a strong performer. If you're considering taking the leap or already own a Nothing Phone 2, one of the first accessories on your shopping list is likely a set of true wireless earbuds. After all, a great phone demands great sound.
For most people, Samsung's Galaxy Buds2 are a comfortable option. For those with Galaxy phones, they're going to be the preferred option when it comes to wireless listening. And for those looking for a killer deal, you're going to get it from Best Buy.
The market for wireless earbuds is highly saturated these days with seemingly every company coming out with their own version of the product. While most people don’t expect much from low-cost buds, it’s not hard to find really great options in the mid-range. When I began using the Klipsch T5 II True Wireless ANC earbuds, I naturally expected quite a bit for the premium price tag, but the features and overall experience didn’t exceed much cheaper alternatives, and in some ways is even below their standards.

Bose noise-canceling headphones have helped millions fly in peace, but it’s no longer the only company offering high-quality sound isolation. Realizing that the four-year-old QC35 II didn’t quite stand its ground against newer, better wireless headphones, the company recently refreshed the lineup with the QC45s. While they’re very similar to their predecessor, especially from a design standpoint, they boast much-needed improvements like Bluetooth multipoint, a Type-C port, and beam-forming mics for better call quality.
Sony’s class-leading WF-1000XM4 true wireless buds hit a new low at just $218 for Cyber Monday
Excellent ANC and superb audio quality for a great price
Sony's WF-1000XM4 buds are considered the market leader when it comes to true wireless buds with active noise cancelation. Since they're the best in their category, they're relatively expensive, traditionally selling for a whopping $280. However, this Cyber Monday, they're $62 off, down to just $128.
Wyze has built some cred as one of the better catch-all tech manufacturers, offering anything from smart home appliances to smartwatches, and they’re all just a bit cheaper than the big players. With that in mind, the Wyze Buds Pro have a lot to like, including impressively strong active noise cancellation and a nearly-irresistible price of $80.
Of all the wireless earbuds Anker makes, the Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro aren't the only ones with a long name, but, unlike many of them, they're on sale right now and there are plenty of good reasons to pick them up.
The class-leading Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones hit a new low at just $248
They're considered by many to be the best ANC headphones on the market
Sony's WH-1000XM4 headphones are considered to be the market leader when it comes noise-canceling headsets. Being the best usually means being expensive, and this pair is no exception, given its usual $350 price tag. However, it's now down to just $248 on Amazon, which is the lowest price they've ever been on the site.
Sony's excellent WH-1000XM3 ANC headphones are down to just $150
As long as you're willing to get a refurbished pair
Sony's excellent WH-1000XM3 noise-canceling headset has managed to dethrone Bose as the reference when it comes to ANC headsets. When it came out, it cost a whopping $350, but you can get one for just $150, as long as you're fine buying a refurbished unit.
Holy moley, Sony's WF-1000XM3 ANC buds are just $65 refurbished right now
No, not $165 ― sixty-five dollars
Sony's on top of the game for active noise canceling. While the XF-1000XM3 isn't the latest model, it's still a technical marvel, and a great traveling companion if you're going anywhere even a bit noisy. These true wireless earbuds debuted at over $200, but today you can grab a certified refurbished set on eBay for just $65.
OnePlus has an official set of "Pro" earbuds, complete with premium design and materials and the requisite active noise cancellation. They did pretty well in our review, especially if you like headphones that tend to go really heavy on the bass. Normally the OnePlus Buds Pro are $150, competitive but a little beyond impulse buy territory. Today the OnePlus store is offering them for $20 off with a coupon code.
There has never been a better time to shop for earbuds. No matter what your budget is, you can find fantastic true wireless buds to keep you entertained at the gym or on your commute. The mid-range category, in particular, has seen some real competition, with heavyweights like Amazon and Google throwing down with budget-conscious brands like Anker and Tribit. You'd be forgiven for not counting TCL among the bunch — it's stuck mainly to affordable neckbuds in the personal audio category. With the MoveAudio S600, however, the company is looking to bring some premium features to a price point that won't break the bank.With active noise canceling, six microphones for voice calls, and up to 32 hours of listening time on a single charge, TCL's latest earbuds look mighty impressive on paper. $99 seems to be the sweet spot for earbuds these days, and the S600s are going up against some formidable challengers. That raises a question: is there room for TCL in the market right now, or is it too little too late to join the fight for TWE dominance?
The next earbuds from OnePlus will probably look just like you'd expect
The Buds Z2 could launch as early as next month
Last year's OnePlus Buds Z came in at a super low price — fifty bucks! — and offered decent sound quality and a comfortable fit. As you'd probably expect with a price so low, they didn't include any advanced features. OnePlus added ANC and wireless charging to its premium Buds Pro, but at a pretty massive markup over the original pair. If you've had your eye out for some new affordable earbuds, the company's next pair might be a perfect match between price and performance.
Sony's class-leading WH-1000XM4 headphones hit a new low in this refurb deal
The best audio for even less
In our review of the Sony WH-1000XM4, we found them to be one of the best noise-canceling headsets on the market. Sadly, their $350 price tag was quite steep, but you can now get them for just $180 on Woot, provided you're fine with buying a refurbished pair.
Jabra's true wireless earbuds have been a reliable alternative to high-end offerings from Apple and Samsung ever since they were introduced, with high marks for audio quality, connection, and comfort. The latest model is on sale at eBay today at its lowest price yet, as long as you're okay with a refurbished set of buds.
Bose steps up to Sony with improved QuietComfort 45 ANC headphones
They're the same old with a touch of new
The Bose QC35 headphones have been one of the most popular ones on the market for a while. Then came the Sony WH-1000XM3 and WH-1000XM4, which were considered by many to be superior, and inevitably dethroned Bose when it came to ANC headphones. Bose did release a newer product, the NC 700, which haven't been nearly as popular as the QC35. This is probably due to their lack of convenience, as they can't be folded, but also their relatively high price.

Samsung's pre-launch update for the Galaxy Buds2 adds ambient mode to phone calls
Along with per-bud ANC settings and a double-tap shortcut
Samsung's latest pair of wireless earbuds haven't even officially hit the market yet, but ahead of a release this Friday, they're already getting their first software update. A much-needed enhancement to ambient sound and a couple of new options help to make these an even more well-rounded set of buds.
OnePlus is quickly becoming a veteran in the true wireless earbud market. With last year's release of the original Buds, followed shortly thereafter by the budget-oriented Buds Z, it's safe to say that OnePlus has had opportunities to work out some of the bugs. And so enters the OnePlus Buds Pro, a set of ANC-enabled true wireless buds that features plenty of high-end capabilities and a similarly higher price tag.
