If you need over-ear headphones and your budget is tight, I can help – I’m TechRadar’s Audio Editor and I think this particular deal is so good, I felt compelled to write a whole article about it.
Right now, the JLab JBuds Lux ANC, which feel and sound so much pricier than even their original MSRP, are slashed in price to just $49.99 (was $79.99) on Amazon – a huge saving of 38% (or $30 that stays in your pocket) and one I haven’t seen in the US until today.

Today’s best cheap ANC headphones Black Friday deal
OK, so a little more on the product: JLab JBuds Lux ANC’s sound is more bass-heavy than a lot of over-ear headphones – although that’s a feature of JLab’s oeuvre in general, so if you’ve owned a set of this likeable company’s earbuds, you’ll know the sound profile already.
The deal is live on the ‘cloud white’ finish only at the time of writing (not ‘mauve’, ‘sage’ or ‘graphite’, sadly) but as long as that doesn’t bother you, there’s a lot to love here.
The JBuds Lux ANC (which aren’t ‘buds’ at all – they’re teardrop-shaped over-ears) tote 40mm drivers that’ll treat your ears like fans of thumping bass tunes. They also pack lots of features you’d expect from premium alternatives, including active noise cancellation which works very well in its standard setting (although do note that the ambient mode leaves something to be desired) as well as multipoint so you can jump between different devices, spatial audio for improved movie or TV show watching and Google Fast Pair so you don’t have to spend ages setting up the device. Not bad, eh?
And that’s before I mention the 70-hour battery life (when ANC is off, mind – it’s reduced to 40 hours when ANC is on), handy on-cup button controls and the ability to fold them right down for easy storage. If the aesthetic isn’t to your liking, see my guide to the best cheap headphones for more, but do note that few come as cheap as this.
My advice? You can pay more and get better, more neutral and integrated hi-fi grade sound in a set of headphones, obviously. But for this super-cheap budget price, JLab is in a winning spot – and isn’t it better to have the best thing for this money rather than no headphones at all?
