Huawei and JBL unveil low‑price ANC earbuds priced about $60

Huawei expanded its budget FreeBuds SE 4 ANC line with a new blue colour variant aimed at shoppers seeking inexpensive active‑noise‑cancelling headphones. The earbuds sell for 249 zł (about $55), offer up to 50 hours of playback from the charging case, and provide fast charging that yields four hours of use after ten minutes. They feature three sizes of ear‑tips, Huawei’s ecosystem integration and standard ANC performance that competes with higher‑priced rivals.

JBL introduced the Vibe Buds 2, also priced at 249 zł, positioning them as a low‑cost ANC option. The model delivers up to eight hours of listening with ANC active (ten hours without), and the case adds another 30 hours. Ten‑minute charging adds roughly three hours of playback. The earbuds support Bluetooth 5.3, have four microphones for call clarity, a Smart Ambient mode that lets ambient sound in, and IP54 protection against sweat and dust. Both products highlight the growing trend of affordable ANC earbuds in the European market.
