Had a mate let me test his new apple headphones, with the noise cancelling and auto reducing when he spoke. Very impressive.

....but I don't use mine often enough to spend so much money, but do have some travel upcoming.

Is there a sort of £30 equivalent that has good noise cancelling, and reasonable audio?

Thanks

£30 will likely be a bit rubbish. Spend a bit more and you will get something much better. I get this is double your budget but nothing like Apple cost.

I've heard good things about Artevives Bluetooth Moto Earbuds. They're designed for motorcycling so they're effectively earplugs with speakers in. They do have noise cancelling too.

For £30 you can't go wrong with these, soundcore Anker P31i

The noise cancelling isn't as good as my Bose NC700s, but they're 10x the price.

A bit over £30; but these are excellent: https://www.amazon.co.uk/EarFun-Cancelling-Adaptiv...

I have these and they're great for when I'm having crap sleep and want to listen to some chill music without waking the wife (nor her honking / snorting and disturbing my relaxing) biggrin

I had some Soundcore ones - about £50, they were OK. I've now got some Sony ones - about £60 and they are better. Nowhere near as good as the expensive Sony or Apple ones I have tried though.

I've got some Sony ones, they're pretty old but still work great. Think mine are WH-1000XM2.

It seems you could probably pick a pair up for £30 seconds hand. That would be my choice over something from AliExpress.

Im now 7mths into my budget ANC overheads and they remain excellent:

UGREEN Max5c Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Headphones (White)

all of £26.95 at the moment too (or £23 if you prefer them in black)

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CWV4ZG6H?ref_=ppx_hz...

They've done several long haul flights with zero issues and I use them weekly for utter silence on the train too
