Not everyone can or wants to spend a lot of money on headphones, but $100 or less can get you a lot if you know where to look. We’ve reviewed hundreds of headphones under $100, including wired, wireless, over-ear, and earbuds to find the best ones for every need. We think the Jabra Move Wireless headphones are among the best overall, but if that’s not what you’re looking for, we have recommendations in every style.
Why we like it: The Jabra Move Wireless headphones perform well at all the basic functions you need, for a modest price. They sound about 75 percent as good as Bluetooth headphones that cost four times as much, and the mic is clear for when you make phone calls, too. The controls are easily accessible and understandable, and the earpads, padded headband, and pivoting earcups make the fit comfortable for most people. Plus, the battery’s eight-plus hours of talk/listen time (we measured 15 hours) and 12 days of standby time mean you’ll get a full day’s listening before needing to charge.
Flaws but not dealbreakers: The cable included with the Move lacks a remote and microphone, so you won’t be able to make calls when the battery dies. Additionally, the sound via the cable is a little brighter than via Bluetooth. We’d prefer that the Move fold for storage and have replaceable earpads, too.
Battery life: Eight hours (claimed, though we got 15 in our testing)
Warranty: One year
