12 Best Noise Cancelling Headphones Under $100

The Soundcore Q20i by Anker has hybrid active noise cancelling, 40 hours of battery with ANC on, and Hi-Res Audio certification. You can customize the EQ through the Soundcore app, which gives it more flexibility than most headphones at this price. It’s the #1 bestseller in its category, and the spec sheet explains why.

The TOZO NC9 packs hybrid ANC with six microphones for call clarity into a sub-$30 pair of earbuds. IPX8 waterproof means they can handle workouts and rain without worry. Sixty hours of total playtime with the case, plus 32 EQ presets through the app, makes these surprisingly capable at the price.

JBL’s Tune 670NC is a renewed on-ear pair with adaptive noise cancelling and a Smart Ambient mode that lets outside sound in when you need it. The 70-hour battery claim is the longest in this budget bracket. It folds flat for travel, and the speed charge feature gets you usable listening time from a short plug-in.

TAGRY isn’t a household name, but the specs on these over-ear headphones are hard to ignore. A claimed 100 hours of playtime is the highest in this entire roundup by a wide margin, and they include fast charging and Hi-Res audio support. If battery life is your top priority, these deserve a look.

The strongest name-brand ANC option under $100 this week. The Sennheiser ACCENTUM has hybrid noise cancelling and 50 hours of battery, with a lightweight build that doesn’t squeeze your head after a couple of hours. It’s a limited time deal, so this price won’t last indefinitely.

One caveat: the Crusher Evo doesn’t have active noise cancellation. What it does have is Skullcandy’s multi-sensory bass system, which physically vibrates the ear cups to match low frequencies. If you care more about feeling your music than blocking outside noise, and you need 40 hours of battery life, this is the only headphone doing what it does at this price.

The Plus version of the ACCENTUM adds adaptive hybrid ANC and quick-charge capability over the base model. If you’ve been deciding between the two, the upgrade is mainly about the ANC adjusting to your surroundings automatically rather than relying on fixed settings. Fifty hours of battery carries over from the standard ACCENTUM.

The QuietComfort 45 is a renewed unit, but Bose’s noise cancelling reputation means even a generation-old model competes with newer budget options on pure ANC performance. These are comfortable for long sessions and have the Bose sound signature that a lot of people specifically seek out. Renewed pricing makes them more accessible, though you should check the return policy on refurbished items before buying.

The QuietComfort Earbuds II were Bose’s flagship noise cancelling earbuds, and the personalized noise cancellation adapts to your ears for a tighter seal and better ANC performance. They’re renewed, so adjust expectations on packaging and cosmetics. For pure noise cancellation in an earbud form factor, these are still competitive against newer options.

Google’s Pixel Buds Pro bring noise cancelling to the Android ecosystem with tight integration for Pixel phones and other Android devices. Up to 31 hours of total battery with the charging case covers a full work week between charges. These are renewed, so the price is well below current retail.

The Beats Studio Pro sits at the #2 bestseller spot, and the combination of ANC with USB-C lossless audio makes them one of the more versatile options in the premium tier. They work equally well with Apple and Android, which isn’t always a given with Beats. Battery life is 40 hours, and this Sandstone colorway is at a better price point than some other colors.

The Momentum 4 is the most expensive pick in this roundup, but it also carries the deepest dollar discount and a genuine 50% markdown. Adaptive noise cancellation paired with 60-hour battery life makes it a long-term investment if you use headphones daily. It’s a limited time deal, so this price could shift quickly.
