I’ll never forget the first time I tried active noise-cancelling headphones. It was on a flight from L.A. to Auckland. On a whim, I had purchased an expensive pair from Bose, and when the plane’s engines fired up, I flipped the ANC switch. For someone who had flown over a quarter million miles up to that point, I can honestly say that they were life-changing.
Thankfully, headphones have come a long way since I took that flight a decade ago, which means you don’t have to plop down $300 (or more) for quality ANC. Take these JBL Tune Buds, for instance — they pack in noise-cancelling goodness and plenty more features, and they’re on sale for $50.

In white, these earbuds look suspiciously like an Apple product — but that pleasingly low price is a pretty good giveaway that they aren’t.
