Edifier Tws1 Earbuds Render

Sounds good: Edifier TWS1

If you're looking for the best sound from true wireless earbuds on a budget, the TWS1 from Edifier should be on your radar. There's a small bass boost, but otherwise, the sound is very natural and smooth. Dynamic range and soundstage are pretty decent given the price.

Not all great earbuds are expensive

We often talk about the "mainstream" true wireless earbuds such as AirPods. However, not all great true wireless earbuds need to be expensive. The Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 are a fantastic option that sound great, last a long time, and use USB-C for charging. Other great options include the Creative Outlier Gold, BEBEN True Wireless Earbuds, and the Edifier TWS1.

I'd go for the Creative Outlier Gold over the Soundcore Liberty Air 2 due to aesthetics. The Outlier Gold also features much more battery life on a single charge, doubling the Soundcore LIberty Air 2's 7 hours with up to 14 hours on a single charge. Otherwise, the two earbuds are pretty close.
