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.

<![CDATA[ <article> <p>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 <a href="https://www.techradar.com/au/audio/earbuds-airpods/best-wireless-earbuds">best wireless earbuds in Australia</a> 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. </p><p>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.</p><p>I’ll list my five top pairs for all budgets in price-ascending order, and of course, to check out <a href="https://amazon.com.au/s?rh=n%3A4851799051%2Cn%3A7058119051&dc&qid=1788758835&rnid=4851799051&ref=sr_nr_n_4&tag=hawk-future-22&ascsubtag=hawk-au-1143693225242878111-22" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">more headphone deals, including those on over-ear models, head to Amazon</a>.</p><div class="product"><a data-dimension112="fa711482-aa7d-11f1-9454-eb8ed907b412" data-action="Deal Block" data-label="Air Pro 3" data-dimension48="Air Pro 3" data-dimension25="$69.99" href="https://www.amazon.com.au/EarFun-Air-Pro-Cancelling-Multipoint/dp/B0BX92WLV6/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><figure class="van-image-figure " ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1400px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:100.00%;"><img id="gn3MmWb4gDSfEmNxGk9fzn" name="Earfun Air Pro 3" caption="" alt="" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/gn3MmWb4gDSfEmNxGk9fzn.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1400" height="1400" attribution="" endorsement="" credit="" class=""></p></div></div></figure></a><p><strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/EarFun-Air-Pro-Cancelling-Multipoint/dp/B0BX92WLV6/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-dimension112="fa711482-aa7d-11f1-9454-eb8ed907b412" data-action="Deal Block" data-label="Air Pro 3" data-dimension48="Air Pro 3" data-dimension25="$69.99">Air Pro 3: was $129.07 now $69.99</a></strong><br>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 <a href="https://www.techradar.com/reviews/earfun-air-pro-3">4.5 stars in our review</a>, 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.
