My experience as an audio expert has led me to choose these five earbuds, from AU$70 to AU$349, that cater to all music styles

My TechRadar colleagues and I have said multiple times that good sound quality doesn’t always have to cost the earth.

As my guide to the best wireless earbuds in Australia proves, there is excellent value to be found up and down the budget spectrum, and you can get a great audio experience for little outlay.

Which is why I felt compelled to put together this list of five pairs that promise that excellent experience, with prices ranging from AU$70 up to AU$349.

Two of the pairs — from Technics and Bose — do actually already feature in my guide to the best ‘buds, and now they’re currently on the receiving end of discounts at Amazon — making them even easier to recommend.

I’ll list my five top pairs for all budgets in price-ascending order, and of course, to check out more headphone deals, including those on over-ear models, head to Amazon .

Air Pro 3: was $129.07 now $69.99 Already affordable, these wireless buds get a further 46% discount, bringing them within touching distance of their lowest-ever price — and for a pair of earbuds we gave 4.5 stars in our review , that’s quite compelling.

For AU$70, you’re getting a comfortable fit, decent ANC and a punchy, engaging sound.

Battery life is also excellent, beating pairs on this list, and you get multipoint pairing.

Supreme value.

View Deal Ear (3a): was $179 now $122.82 The (3a) is Nothing’s current budget-focused earbuds and successor to the excellent Nothing (a).

They’re arguably an incremental upgrade — the sound has been tweaked ever so slightly (and you’ll still want to adjust EQ settings for optimal results), they get a curvier case and static spatial audio.

They’re still incredibly comfortable, and the ANC is excellent for the money.

Our only gripe is a call-recording feature that screams ‘covert surveillance’.

The Nothing Ear (a) is also discounted to AU$99.46 at the time of writing.
