Soundcore by Anker R50i NC: Rs 1,699
- Driver size: 10mm
- Battery life (claimed): Up to 45 hours
- ANC: Up to 42dB adaptive ANC (claimed)
The Soundcore by Anker R50i NC stand out as the value-for-money pick. Despite costing around Rs 200 less than the iQOO buds, Soundcore claims a higher 42dB level of adaptive active noise cancellation. Adaptive ANC suggests the earbuds adjust noise reduction based on the surrounding environment, which can help balance noise control and battery efficiency.
The 10mm drivers are a smidge smaller than those on the iQOO TWS, but Soundcore’s tuning should still appeal to the masses. Battery life is claimed to be up to 45 hours, placing it longer in endurance than the iQOO TWS1e.
Anker highlights that the charging case could double as a phone stand, too. So, the stand, multipoint connection, and specs like Bluetooth 5.4, IP54 dust and water resistance, quad mics for calls, and quick charging make it a promising pick.
At this price point, you can also check out the Boat Nirvana Ion ANC, which offers far better battery life claim of about 120 hours. The driver size is 10mm, and ANC is up to 32dB only.
iQOO TWS 1e: Rs 1,900
- Driver size: 11mm
- Battery life (claimed): Up to 42 hours
- ANC: Up to 30dB active noise cancellation (claimed)
The iQOO TWS 1e enters this list as a strong productivity-focused option and is the priciest option in the list. While their noise cancellation is rated at 30dB, which is clearly weaker than the 42dB claims from some of the other contenders, but packs a practical mix of features for everyday use.
The 11mm drivers sit between the 10mm and 12.4mm units used by rivals. While smaller than the largest drivers on this list, they are marketed as high-resolution drivers, suggesting a focus on clarity and balance rather than sheer bass output. Battery life is another strong point, with a claimed total of up to 42 hours, which remains competitive.
It also brings good to have features like dual-device connection, quick charging, Bluetooth 5.3 and 88ms low latency gaming.
Overall, the iQOO TWS 1e makes sense for users who care more about convenience, efficiency, and multi-device use than maximum noise cancellation strength.
Oppo Enco Buds 3 Pro: Rs 1,799
- Driver size: 12.4mm
- Battery life (claimed): Up to 54 hours
- ANC: No, AI-based noise reduction for calls only
The OPPO Enco Buds 3 Pro return to this list as the best non-ANC option under Rs 2,000. While they do not offer active noise cancellation for music, they compensate with strong fundamentals. The 12.4mm titanised drivers are larger than those on many budget earbuds and should deliver louder, fuller sound compared to smaller driver designs.
Battery life is claimed at up to 54 hours, which comfortably beats most other non-ANC options in this price range. OPPO also includes AI-based noise reduction for calls, which helps improve voice clarity during conversations, even if it does not affect music playback.
Another advantage is the build quality. With an IP55 dust and water resistance rating for the earbuds, they are better protected against sweat, rain, and rough use than entry-level alternatives such as the boAt Airdopes 311 Pro. For users who do not care about ANC but want durability, large drivers, and long battery life, the Enco Buds 3 Pro make a strong case.

Boat Airdopes 311 Pro: Rs 999
- Driver size: 10mm dynamic
- Battery life (claimed): Up to 50 hours total
- ANC: No, basic ENC for calls
The Boat Airdopes 311 Pro is the most affordable pick in our list. In this segment, people care about brand familiarity and battery life, along with decent sound, of course.
