The best cheap wireless earphones with ANC – OnePlus Buds Z2
The OnePlus Buds Z2 left an excellent impression on the editors, and you can read that in our extensive review. The earphones sound good and have the same audio driver as the more expensive Pro version. Furthermore, the ANC also does its job well and the transparency mode is also an added value. You can temporarily hear what others are saying to you, without having to remove the earplugs. Furthermore, the excellent microphones ensure that you can also be heard clearly during calls.
Another plus of the Buds Z2 is the battery life of 38 hours without ANC or 27 hours with the function active. OnePlus also supplies its earphones with a very good companion app called HeyMelody. You can use it to update the firmware of the earphones and see the battery status. You can also adjust the gestures for the operation yourself as desired. And those gestures work very efficiently with these earphones.

Wearing comfort and Fast Pair
Also interesting is the fit test from OnePlus with which you can check whether the ears are properly seated. OnePlus supplies the Buds Z2 with three different sizes of silicone earbuds. With the right fit, you can use the earbuds for a long time without irritating them.
One last trick is support for Google Fast Pair. You can pair the Buds Z2 with your devices with the push of a button, without using the bluetooth settings. The main disadvantage that we can think of is that the design of the Buds Z2 is not very special. The ears are too strong on Apple’s AirPods.

Alternatives
With the Enco Free 2 OPPO has released an affordable pair of earphones with ANC. The ANC is adapted to the structure of the ear canal. Furthermore, the earphones can also test your hearing, after which the sound is adjusted to size, and it is also interesting that you can take a photo with an OPPO smartphone from a distance with the help of these earphones. Still, you can say that the Enco Free 2, unlike other Enco earphones, has a fairly generic design. And the battery life of 20 hours with ANC active is not special either.
The Huawei FreeBuds 4 are a good alternative for those who are not a fan of a traditional in-ear design. Huawei calls the FreeBuds 4 semi in-ear because they are only partially in the ear, without silicone earplugs. This means that the earphones may not be equally comfortable for everyone, but at the same time the design provides excellent noise cancellation: partly active, but also passive. These Huawei earphones also sound good and they have a nice design. Discover our review here.
Last year the Nothing Ear (1) surprise us with its nice transparent design, the beautiful case and the very good sound. The Nothing Ear (1) is an eye-catcher, even if it may not be a feature every user is looking for. In addition, the ANC also performs well in this price range. The main drawbacks of the Ear (1) are the limited options for gesture control and the battery life of 24 hours with ANC active. This is our review of the Nothing Ear (1).
