Best Earbuds With Microphone Under $20

They handle calls just fine, fit better than average, and aren't terrible to wear. And they sound awesome. Their "Reflective" design points the drivers away from the ears so the sound reflects back. This keeps your ears from ringing or hurting, even with the enhanced bass response these buds deliver. You need to hear it to believe it.

JLab's Audio Metal earbuds have a universal mic and music controls, are sweat resistant, and include seven different pairs of gel comfort cushions to fit almost everyone. Combined with their ergonomic profile, these are some of the best-fitting earbuds you'll find under 20 bucks. They're also tough with a kevlar cable and flex attachment joints.

The Naztech (formerly NoiseHush) NX80 is the best headset we tested when it comes to talking on the phone. The microphone works great without yelling for calls and voice assistants. They have a flat tangle-free cable, easy to use controls, and deliver surprisingly good sound when listening to music or watching a video.

Seeing a pair of USB-C earbuds with a mic and a price under $20 is a surprise, but seeing that OnePlus is the company that offers them isn't. The same thinking that brings high-end phones at not so high-end prices from OnePlus also bleeds over into the company's accessories, and $20 gets you a great pair of USB-C headphones with a mic. Just make sure your phone supports it!

Want cheap earbuds that you can wear all day? The Panasonic ErgoFit earbuds are great! The sound is decent for music or phone calls, and they aren't the prettiest things to look at. But whatever the tips are made of is awesome because they fit inside your ear without bugging you that they're in them.

These Bluetooth sports headphones check the right boxes if you need a set under $20 with a microphone. Boasting 8-hour battery life and a waterproof nano-coating, these hadphones are perfect for someone who is frugal and needs to be wire-free.
