Best earbuds under Rs 2,500 in India in 2026

Wireless earbuds are dirt cheap these days, and you can get some fantastic options for under Rs 2,500. The more expensive options do up the quality and noise cancellation levels, but usually not in a manner commensurate with the price increase. With that in mind, here are the best earbuds under Rs 2,500 you can buy today:

Croma UE165 TWS

It’s hard to believe that you can get decent true wireless earbuds for under Rs 1,000, and yet here we are. The Croma UE165 is a great sounding set of earbuds with features like 20 hours of battery life, Bluetooth 5.4 support, 10 mm drivers, as well as sweat resistance.

The best part is that all of this costs just Rs 790. The one feature that’s missing is ANC, though to be fair, the set does a good job of passive noise isolation.

OnePlus Nord Buds 3r TWS

The Nord Buds 3r are a step up in price as well as features. Retailing at Rs 1,499, this set offers the same features as the Croma one above, but with nearly three times the battery life – 54 hours – and support for noise cancellation during phone calls. The buds themselves can run for 12 hours straight in the right circumstances.

OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro

Coming in at a rupee under Rs 2,500 we have the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro. These pull out all the stops, offering everything from 44 hours of battery life to BT 5.4 support, 12.4 mm drivers, and the most important feature, 49 dB of active noise cancellation. The buds also have two mics on each earbud to help with both ANC as well as when speaking. Bass lovers will love this set.

Nothing CMF Buds 2 Plus

These come in a smidge above Rs 2,500 but are worth considering for their sound quality and astonishing 61.5 hours of battery life. They also have excellent bass and tech that reduces lag, which is useful for gamers. In addition, the set supports LDAC for hi-res audio, 50 dB of ANC, and uses 12 mm drivers. The CMF Buds 2 Plus are available on Croma for Rs 2,599.

Realme T310

With hybrid ANC, 40 hours of battery life, 12.4 mm drivers for superior bass, and even support for dual device connections, the Realme T310 are a steal at Rs 2,199.

Primarily, users who juggle multiple devices on the regular will like this set. Latency us also low at just 45 ms, which gamers will be happy about. Oh, there’s also an IP55 rating in case you want to take these buds with you on a run.
