The best Jaybird headphones in the budget category that we’ve tested are the Jaybird Freedom F5 Wireless 2016. While they’re getting harder to find in stock since they’re an older model, they offer a good price-to-performance ratio. Thanks to their slim in-ear design and ten differently-sized sets of ear tips to help you find the most suitable fit, they’re among the best earbuds for small ears that we’ve tested. Since they have stability fins, they should also stay in place while you’re moving, and they have a decently comfortable design. Out-of-the-box, they have a slightly boomy sound profile that can be adjusted using their companion app’s parametric EQ and presets. Even though they don’t have active noise cancelling (ANC), they can passively isolate a good amount of noise around you.
Unfortunately, some users have experienced issues with their sweat-resistant design when also using the charging clip. They have sub-par battery life and last just over four hours, so you may need to recharge them throughout your workday. Luckily, they have a standby mode to help conserve battery life when you’re not using them, and they fully recharge in roughly an hour and a half. That said, if you’re looking for wallet-friendly headphones, they offer a customizable audio experience with a sport-friendly design.
