We updated every price and product on this list on 30 July 2026. Our top pick stays the OPPO Enco Buds2 (RM129), still the most complete all-rounder under RM150 in Malaysia. If you just want the cheapest pair that actually sounds good, the Baseus WM01 (RM44.90) is the one to buy.
Wireless earbuds got cheaper and better at the same time this year. The Sony WF-C500 we used to recommend at RM449 has been replaced by the newer WF-C510, now selling for about RM199, a drop of more than half. Every earbud on this list costs under RM200, and we checked live Shopee Malaysia listings from official brand stores to confirm each one is still sold and in stock before adding it here.

The 7 Best Budget Wireless Earbuds in Malaysia
Here is the full breakdown of each pick, in the order we would recommend them, with the current Shopee Malaysia price and buy link on each card.
OPPO Enco Buds2
Our top pick again this year. The Enco Buds2 pairs clear mids with genuinely strong bass for the price, and OPPO's touch controls are the simplest to learn of any pair here. AI Deep Noise Cancellation handles calls well, and the 28-hour total battery life (earbuds plus case) beats most of the field. Best for: anyone who wants one pair that does everything well, especially if you already own an OPPO phone.
Who is this for?
If you are considering buying your first wireless earphones, the Oppo Enco Buds2 is your best choice, especially if you also have an OPPO smartphone to go with it! They offer a clear audio quality with an impressive 20+ hour battery life. The controls are simple enough and easy to remember, making it also the best option for first-time wireless earphone users.

“In Our Experience” - Live ProductNation Review
The first thing that caught our eye was how these earbuds are really cute and compact looking! From the first touch, the pill-like case felt smooth and fitted nicely into our palms. The interface on the charging case is simple, with just an LED indicator light for battery status and a USB-C port at the bottom for charging.
The case is also easy to open and close with one hand, but it's not easy to take out the earbuds with one hand. Comfort-wise, the earbuds come with three silicone tips in different sizes (large, medium and small). Out of the box, the earbuds are fitted with medium-sized silicone tips, which were a little too big for our editor's small ears, but they switched to the smaller tips and all was good.
We experienced clear audio with no noticeable distortion. While tunes were balanced with frequencies not outperforming one another, we found that the audio profile skews toward the upper-midrange tones and treble tones. Unfortunately, the bass was rather weak, but it’s adjustable through the HeyMelody app, though options are pretty slim.
Thankfully, our OPPO Enco Buds2 unit worked well. The controls are: tap once to play/pause, twice for the next track, three times for the previous track, and a long tap for volume controls (left down, right up), all accompanied by a subtle clicking sound so you know that the controls are registered without having to guess. You can also change the touch functions through the HeyMelody app.

Baseus WM01
The cheapest earbuds on this list that we would still recommend without hesitation. Over 50,000 units sold across Baseus's own Shopee stores and a 4.9-plus rating tell you these hold up in daily use, not just on paper. The charging case has a digital battery display, rare at this price. Best for: a genuine spare pair, a gift, or anyone who refuses to spend more than RM50 on earbuds.
Who is this for?
If you need wireless earphones but aren't interested in spending too much money on one, then the Baseus WM01 is your best option. While it is a cheap model, you can enjoy features like touch controls and good-quality music.

Xiaomi Redmi Buds 6 Play
The battery-life pick.

Best for: heavy phone-call users and anyone who forgets to charge their case.
Who is this for?

“In Our Experience” - Live ProductNation Review
The JBL WAVE 200 TWS is a pair of sleek and lightweight wireless earbuds that pack a nice, strong punch. The sleek, black charging case makes for a premium look, and we especially loved that the premium coating that is fingerprint-proof.
These earbuds are built ergonomically and fit well in the ears. They come with three silicone tips in the box so you can swap them out according to your preference, and the earbuds stay in place pretty well even while we wore them for a short jog. Even having them on for a longer period of time (~5 hours on and off, mostly on) did not pose a problem.
For what it’s worth, the JBL WAVE 200 TWS sounds pretty good. The audio quality is pretty balanced, with a stronger and more emphasized bass, as is typical for all of JBL’s audio offerings. Now, it’s not to say that the audio experience on this is perfect—far from it, actually. While the bass is solid, trebles can turn out a little tinny when the volume is turned up high. There’s also no accompanying app to tweak the audio settings, so what you hear is essentially what you’re getting.
The JBL Wave Beam is a pretty no-nonsense budget earphones that would suit bass lovers without breaking the bank. As long as you’re not expecting ANC or equalizers, these earbuds work great for all your audio basics.
realme Buds T200 Lite
The longest battery life on this list at up to 48 hours total, built around a 2-mic AI ENC system that keeps your voice clear on calls even in wind or traffic. The 12.4mm dynamic bass driver gives noticeably more low end than its RM78 price suggests. Best for: commuters who take a lot of calls and do not want to think about charging.
Who is this for?
The realme Techlife Buds T100 is the best wireless earbuds for you if you just need cheap earbuds. With the realme Techlife Buds T100, you can enjoy great features like a great and balanced sound system, long-lasting battery, and unique design.
What to know
The realme Techlife Buds T100 comes with a plastic case with a matte finish, meaning you won’t have to worry about getting fingerprints on it. The case has a nice look, is lightweight, and is barely noticeable in your pocket. The earbuds design fits perfectly in the ear, so you can use them for long periods without feeling discomfort or pain.
Most importantly, the case has 28 hours of battery life, and you can listen to music for 6 hours with the earbuds.

Edifier X3 Pro
The cheapest way into active noise cancellation on this list. Over 20,000 units sold and a 4.89 rating from more than 30,000 reviewers make this Edifier's best-selling pair for a reason. A 0.05-second low-latency mode also makes it one of the few budget picks usable for watching video without noticeable audio lag. Best for: first-time ANC buyers who do not want to pay Sony or Bose prices.

UGREEN HiTune T3 ANC
Now nearly half the price it was when we last checked this list. Bluetooth 5.2 with a transparency mode lets you hear your surroundings without pulling an earbud out, useful for the office or campus. Bass is tuned noticeably heavier than the Edifier pick above. Best for: bass lovers who want ANC and transparency mode without paying UGREEN's flagship prices.
Who is this for?
The UGREEN HiTune is the best option for you if you need a noise-cancelling earphone while being under a budget. It is good enough that you can listen to music and not be distracted by noises in the background. However, some noises may still be heard or muffled.

Sony WF-C510
The successor to the WF-C500 we used to recommend at RM449, now selling for RM199, a genuine, verified price drop of over 50 percent. Sony's DSEE upscaling technology cleans up compressed streaming audio, and the tuning is noticeably more balanced than any other pick here. Best for: anyone who cares about sound quality first and is willing to spend up to RM200 to get it.
Who is this for?
Available in multiple colours, the Sony WF-C500 earbuds are a solid choice for those seeking quality audio without breaking the bank. If you want to enjoy listening to your playlist wirelessly, the Sony WF-C500 is your perfect choice. You can go about your day with the earbuds’ 10-hour battery life and 20-hour charging case.

The WF-C500 earbuds are also IPX4 rated for water resistance, making them a reliable companion for your active lifestyle. Despite their budget-friendly price, they offer a comfortable fit and a decent sound performance. However, they lack active noise cancellation and wireless charging.

“In Our Experience” - Live ProductNation Review
The Sony WF-C500 earbuds have a pretty unique blend of affordability, comfort, and sound quality. These earbuds are incredibly light and comfortable, making them a great companion for long listening sessions, with very intuitive controls.
One of the standout features of the WF-C500 that we really liked is its clear and balanced sound. The audio experience on these earbuds is pretty good, though it's worth noting that the sound could be both deeper and wider, and the battery life, while not bad at all, is nothing exceptional.
Compact, light, and easy to position comfortably in the ear, the Sony WF-C500 earbuds were perfect for our gym sessions. The physical control surface on each earbud is relatively large, making it easy to control play, pause, skip tracks, adjust volume, and more even in the middle of a gruelling routine.
Despite their affordable price, the WF-C500 does have some limitations. They lack active noise cancellation and wireless charging, features that are often found in more expensive models. However, these compromises are understandable given their price point.
How We Picked These Earbuds
We did not bench test every pair in a lab for this update. What we did: we pulled live Shopee Malaysia listings on 30 July 2026 for each model, checked the price from an official brand store or an authorised reseller, and dropped any product we could not confirm was still in stock. Two earbuds from our previous list, a Jabra model and a TRANYA model, were removed because we could not verify a current, genuine listing at a reasonable price. We would rather show seven earbuds we can stand behind than ten with two guesses in the middle.
No sponsor. Nothing on this list is a paid placement. Buy links point to the official Shopee Malaysia store for each brand.
How to Choose Wireless Earbuds
Price
Malaysia’s wireless earbud market splits into three real price bands, not the RM100-to-RM800 spread you might expect. Under RM60 buys a genuinely decent pair today (Baseus WM01, Redmi Buds 6 Play). RM60 to RM100 adds active noise cancellation (Edifier X3 Pro, realme Buds T200 Lite). RM100 to RM200 buys the best all-round sound and app support we tested (OPPO Enco Buds2, UGREEN HiTune T3 ANC, Sony WF-C510). You do not need to spend RM300 or more unless you specifically want flagship noise cancellation from Sony or Bose.
Battery life
Check the total playback time with the charging case, not just the earbuds alone. The gap is large: the Edifier X3 Pro gives about 22 hours total, while the realme Buds T200 Lite stretches to roughly 48 hours. If you forget to charge cases for days at a time, buy on this number first.
Noise cancellation
Active noise cancellation (ANC) used to be a RM300-plus feature. It is now available from RM89 (Edifier X3 Pro) in Malaysia. If you commute on public transport or work in an open office, ANC is worth paying the extra RM40 to RM50 for over a non-ANC pair at the same tier.
Wireless Earphones vs Wireless Headphones
Both are wireless today, so the real choice is between earphones (in-ear or true wireless buds) and headphones (over-ear).
Wireless earbuds
- More portable, easier to carry and use during exercise or a commute.
- In-ear designs seal out more outside noise even without ANC turned on.
- Battery life per charge is shorter, but a charging case tops them up through the day.
Wireless headphones
- Usually cost more than earbuds at the same audio quality tier.
- Bigger drivers generally mean fuller sound, especially in the bass.
- More comfortable for long listening sessions, but bulkier to carry and less suited to workouts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best budget wireless earbuds in Malaysia right now?
We rank the OPPO Enco Buds2 (RM129) as the best all-round pick. If price matters more than anything else, the Baseus WM01 at RM44.90 is the cheapest pair on this list that we would still recommend.
Are wireless earbuds under RM100 actually good?
Yes. The Edifier X3 Pro (RM89) includes active noise cancellation, and the realme Buds T200 Lite (RM78.20) adds AI call noise reduction, both features that cost over RM300 a few years ago.
Which budget earbuds have the best battery life?
The Xiaomi Redmi Buds 6 Play and the realme Buds T200 Lite lead this list, at 36 and 48 hours of total playback with the charging case.
Do cheap wireless earbuds have noise cancellation?
Two picks on this list do: the Edifier X3 Pro (RM89) and the UGREEN HiTune T3 ANC (RM145). Below RM60, expect passive noise isolation from the in-ear seal instead of active cancellation.
