Hi, may I ask what will you recommend, im looking for an earbuds that is good for calls or video calls (indoor or outdoor) that is under 5K? –Vince Panila
In this segment, there are a ton of choices out there for a pair of TWS earbuds. In this case, we’ll cite the experts at CNET with their “Best Wireless Earbuds of 2023” list to narrow down our choices.
From the source, I’ve found two products that are under the 5K peso mark and are officially available in the Philippines. Those are the Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC and Soundpeats Air3 Deluxe HS.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC
This pair of in-ear earbuds is currently selling for PHP 4,699 on Lazada 72.
It’s commendable for its impressive feature set and is great for calls. It features six integrated mics that does well in reducing background noise. On top of better sound quality and noise canceling, it supports LDAC codec and is IPX4 rated against water splashes.
Soundpeats Air3 Deluxe HS
For an even lower price, the Soundpeats Air3 Deluxe HS is another compelling choice—currently selling for only PHP 2,399 via Lazada 66.
This is the best cheap open earbuds out there at the moment, that’s also good for calls. It also, surprisingly supports LDAC and IPX4.
While it doesn’t support noise canceling due to its open earbuds design, you can’t go wrong with this one considering the price.
