I test audio gear for a living — 7 best Black Friday headphone deals under $50

These on-ear headphones are the cheapest way to get good sound on the list. They won't block as much noise as some of the other options because they sit on your ears rather than over them, but you'll get 70 hours of battery with ANC turned off and 40 hours with it turned on.

The Soundcore Q20i are comfortable, cheap headphones that get the job done with solid sound and noise canceling. They're available in a few colors as well, although only the black and white options have this Black Friday price tag.

We loved the JBuds Lux when they landed on our testing table. They're comfortable and sound really good for something so cheap. The ANC is plenty to keep out the noise of the outside world as well. They fold up nice and small for easy travel, and last for 40 hours with ANC turned on.

Edifier headphones balance low prices with features, and W800BT are a great example. They've got 45 hours of battery life, hi-res audio support, and ANC to keep the noise out. They also fold to make sure they can fit more easily into your backpack.

The JBL Tune 720BT and their physical controls bring a whole load of great features to the table. Up to 76 hours of battery life makes sure they last for long time, and they fold neatly so that they're easier to pack. They're lightweight, too, so you'll be able to wear them for longer periods.

This pair of handsome Soundcore headphones will last for 50 hours with their noise canceling turned on, and offer a light weight, comfortable fit. There's a carrying bag in the box as well to keep them safe from damage.

This pair of Monster headphones feature ANC, the latest Bluetooth 6.0 and 70 hours of battery life. Just like many of the other options on the list they fold up for easy storage. Unlike the other options on the list, you'll save $110 if you buy them at this sale price.
