From listening to your favourite music and podcasts at the gym to tuning into lectures and audio for study or work, owning a good pair of headphones is a modern-day must. But having a reliable way to plug in and play – and have great sound quality to boot – doesn’t need to be expensive. There are many cheap headphones out there that get the job done.
From over-ear headphones and earbuds to wireless and gaming headphones, there is a great pair to suit anyone. We’ve got you covered for the best cheap headphones with all the features you need.
You bet they are! There are many cheap headphones and mid-range options to suit your budget, with stand-out features including immersive sound, Bluetooth, multi-device connectivity and hands-free calling. For gamers, cheap gaming headphones with built-in microphones and soft ear cushioning are available.
“Whether you’re looking for premium sound quality in over-ear headphones, gaming headphones, wireless sports headphones or earbuds, there are cheap and mid-range options available in every style,” says Christos Boukogiannis, The Good Guys Buyer – Sound.
Looking for cheap headphones? From Apple to Beats, Sony, Audio-Technica, Sennheiser and JBL, leading audio brands make headphones in a range of styles and with cool features to suit every budget – you’ll find slick and compact designs, long battery life, premium audio quality, and gaming headphones with immersive sound and a built-in mic.
“Top brands including Apple, Beats and Sony understand that not everyone can afford top-of-the-range headphones, so they’ve created models that still bring premium quality sound, design and comfort for a fraction of the cost. It’s all about accessibility,” says Christos Boukogiannis.

Sony, Jabra, and JBL are among the best brands for cheap earbuds. While earbuds are small, they don’t compromise on sound quality – they deliver rich and immersive sound either with or without wires. Because they’re designed to match the ear cavity, they fit snugly so you don’t need to worry about wireless earbuds falling out.
Water-resistance, voice assistant compatibility, hands-free calling with a built-in microphone, computer connectivity, an extended battery life and quick charge are among the features to look for.
