Skullcandy Ink'd Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds - The best Bluetooth earbuds under $50

Who this is for: Sometimes you just need a pair of inexpensive Bluetooth earbuds that get the job done.

Why we like it: The Ink’d Bluetooth earbuds sound decent, with lots of bass, and they’re comfortable for long-term wearing. The necklace/halo feels flimsy, but it’s lightweight and comfortable, and it’s flexible enough to coil for storage.

Flaws but not dealbreakers: If you have bigger ear canals, you may not get a full seal with the included tips. Strangely, Skullcandy includes only medium and small tips, and purchasing third-party tips adds extra cost. Plus, the sound of the Ink’d Bluetooth is less balanced than we’d like. The boosted bass can blur the lower-mid guitar range, and the mildly coarse-sounding high-frequency range can make strings sound a little tinny. Lastly, if you are making numerous phone calls, you’ll need to pay attention to the placement of the mic; your voice can sound a bit muffled if your shirt or jacket gets in the way.

Battery life: Eight hours Warranty: Two years
