Best ANC headphones deal: JLab JBuds Lux ANC are under $50 at Amazon

SAVE $30: As of June 3, the Mashable-approved JLab JBuds Lux ANC headphones are down to just $49.95 at Amazon in several color options. That's 38% off their list price of $79.99.

For headphones you've probably never heard of, the JLab JBuds Lux ANC have earned quite a few accolades from Mashable's shopping team. Not only did we crown them the best budget headphones for students and the best noise-cancelling budget pick for flying, but also the best budget headphones overall in 2026. In other words, if you want a solid pair of over-ear noise-cancelling headphones that won't break the bank, our vote goes to the JBuds Lux ANC — particularly when they're on sale.

As of June 3, the Mashable-approved JLab JBuds Lux ANC headphones are down to only $49.95 at Amazon in sage green, mauve, cloud white, and graphite. That's $30 or 38% off their list price of $79.99. There's a good chance we'll see an even better price drop come Prime Day (June 23-26), but if you don't feel like waiting, this discount is pretty dang good.

So, what makes these headphones stand out amongst the rest?

"They have functional ANC, decent comfort, great sound balance, and a killer battery life, all with a design that doesn't feel overtly budget-friendly," according to Bethany Allard, one of Mashable's headphones experts. While they won't completely silence the world around you like high-dollar headphones, they can certainly take the edge off in a loud environment.

Allard adds that you'll probably want to play around with the EQ to find the preset or settings that sound best to you. But once you do, you'll be wowed.

They may not be the crème de la crème of noise-cancelling headphones, but the JLab JBuds Lux ANC will have you feeling like you're balling on a budget. They're hard to beat even at full price, but we certainly won't complain about a $30 discount.
