Despite their low price-point, Lypertek’s Z3 earbuds are a great option when choosing wireless earbuds even for folks who aren’t on a budget. For just under P4,800, you get clear, balanced audio with 70 hours of total battery life on the charging case—10 hours on the buds and six extra charges on the case. Expect neutral sound output similar to what you might get out of studio headphones—great for audiophiles who prefer their tunes true to production.

Available online and at Digital Walker stores.

ATH-M30x Headphones (P4,400) from Audio-Technica

Audio-Technica’s M series (ranging from the M20x to the M50x) has long been a go-to for audiophiles and sound professionals thanks to their neutral sound quality and comfortable wear. Note that these are studio headphones, meaning they’re typically meant for listening and recording, and not necessarily having a bass-heavy sound trip. If you’ve got a limited budget, go for the M30x model, which falls in the middle in terms of both specs and price point. They’re wired headphones that offer reliable sound and a comfortable over-ear fit. If you’re working in an audio-driven profession—voiceover work, podcasting, music critique, and the like—they’ll never let you down.

Available online.

You can get it in a variety of cute colors!

Available online; see a list of JBL retailers.

Sennheiser’s HD 250BT headphones offer a bare-bones design as far as wireless listening devices go—the slim construction is mostly hard plastic and the headband features no padding. What it lacks in build, it more than makes up for in sound quality with bright, detailed audio that’s crisp and clear on the high frequencies, midrange tones, and bass. The pair also offers up to 25 hours of use on a single full charge. All in all, these headphones are a great bang-for-your-buck option if audio quality and overall performance is your top priority and your budget isn’t too high.
