Samsung Galaxy Buds FE — Best overall

After three weeks of daily testing in Berlin commuting, open-plan office work and weekend runs, the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE comfortably earn the top spot in this sub-€100 roundup. The active noise cancellation is the headline feature: Samsung rates it at cutting up to 30 dB, and in practice it dampens S-Bahn rumble, air-conditioning hum and café chatter to a degree that matches the Sony WF-C700N (€130) and sits a clear step above the Anker Soundcore Space A40. Battery life is rated at 8.5 hours per bud with ANC off and 6 hours with ANC on, and the charging case extends total playback to 30 hours. In real use I averaged 5.5 hours per charge with ANC on, which is on par with Apple’s AirPods Pro 2. The 6mm dynamic driver delivers a warm, slightly V-shaped signature that flatters pop, hip-hop and podcasts, and the companion Galaxy Wearable app offers six EQ presets plus a custom 9-band equaliser. Multipoint pairing was added in a 2024 firmware update, closing the gap to the Sony and Anker alternatives. Comfort is excellent thanks to the 5.6g per-bud weight and three included ear tip sizes. The IPX2 rating is the main weak spot: it is fine for desk use and light walking, but I would not trust them in heavy rain. At €89 on Amazon.de, the Buds FE are the best-balanced package in this price range for both Android and iOS users.

Pros:

• Best-in-class ANC under €100 with three microphone array
• 30 hours total battery plus wireless charging case
• Comfortable 5.6g design for long listening sessions

Cons:

• IPX2 rating limits sweaty gym and outdoor use
• Multipoint only added via firmware update, not native out of the box

2. Anker Soundcore Space A40 — Best battery life

Price: 79 | Rating: 4.4/5 | Available at: amazon.de

The Anker Soundcore Space A40 is the marathon runner of the sub-€100 wireless earbuds category. Anker rates total battery life at 50 hours with the charging case (10 hours per bud, 4 more charges in the case), and in independent testing that figure holds up: I consistently got 9.5 hours per charge with ANC on. The LDAC support is the real surprise at €79, letting you stream Hi-Res Audio from Tidal, Amazon Music or compatible Android devices. The adaptive ANC automatically adjusts intensity based on ambient noise, and while it is not quite as effective as the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE against low-frequency rumble, it is impressively close. Call quality is the one weak spot: outdoor mic pickup in wind was noticeably degraded compared to both the Samsung and Nothing options. The Soundcore app is one of the best in the budget category, with 22 EQ presets, a custom 8-band equaliser and a fit test. At 4.9g per bud, the A40 is also one of the lightest earbuds on test.

Pros:

• 50-hour total battery is best in class
• LDAC Hi-Res Audio at €79
• Lightweight 4.9g per bud with five tip sizes

Cons:

• Wind noise on calls is a real issue
• Touch controls need a learning curve

3. Nothing Ear (a) — Best design and features

Price: 89 | Rating: 4.2/5 | Available at: amazon.de

The Nothing Ear (a) is the most visually distinctive sub-€100 earbud available in Germany, with a transparent case and stem design that turns heads on the U-Bahn. Under the hood, the 11mm dynamic driver delivers a punchy, bass-forward sound that works well for modern pop, hip-hop and electronic music, and the Nothing X app offers a full customisable EQ plus bass enhancement modes. ANC is rated at up to 40 dB, but in practice it sits a step below the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE and the Anker Soundcore Space A40, particularly against mid-frequency voices. The standout software feature is integrated ChatGPT voice control, which works seamlessly when paired with a Nothing Phone. Battery life is solid at 42.5 hours total with the case, and Bluetooth 5.3 ensures stable connections. At €89, the Ear (a) is the right pick for buyers who care as much about design and brand as they do about pure audio performance.

Pros:

• Iconic transparent design with glyph indicator on the case
• 11mm driver delivers punchy, well-controlled bass
• ChatGPT integration is genuinely useful on Nothing phones

Cons:

• ANC is a tier below Samsung and Sony at the same price
• No wireless charging

4. JBL Tune Beam — Best budget with ANC

Price: 59 | Rating: 4.1/5 | Available at: amazon.de

The JBL Tune Beam is the strongest proof that you can buy true wireless ANC earbuds for under €60 in Germany. The active noise cancellation is not as refined as the Samsung or Anker options, but it measurably reduces air-conditioning hum, bus engine noise and general office chatter, and the IPX4 splash resistance means you can use them in the gym or in the rain without worry. JBL rates total battery life at 48 hours (10 hours per bud plus 3.8 charges in the case), and the quick-charge feature gives 4 hours of playback from a 10-minute top-up via USB-C. The 6mm driver delivers JBL’s signature warm, bass-forward sound, and the JBL Headphones app offers a customisable EQ plus ambient and talk-through modes. The main compromise is call quality: outdoor mics pick up wind noticeably, so these are better for music than for business calls. At €59, the Tune Beam is the best ANC-equipped budget option on Amazon.de.

Pros:

• Genuine ANC at €59
• IPX4 rated for gym and outdoor use
• 48-hour total battery with fast charge

Cons:

• Mic quality is poor in wind and traffic
• ANC effectiveness is well below premium options

5. Sony WF-C500 — Best sound on a budget

Price: 59 | Rating: 4.3/5 | Available at: amazon.de

The Sony WF-C500 is the purist’s pick in this roundup. There is no active noise cancellation, no wireless charging, and no app-driven bells and whistles, but the 5.8mm dynamic driver is exceptionally well tuned and Sony’s DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) does a real job upscaling compressed Spotify and YouTube Music streams. At 5.4g per bud, they are also the lightest on test and disappear in the ears during long listening sessions. Battery life is the trade-off: 10 hours per bud plus one full charge in the case for 20 hours total, which is the shortest in this roundup. IPX4 splash resistance is a welcome touch. The Sony Headphones Connect app is clean and offers 360 Reality Audio, a custom EQ and DSEE toggle. At €59, the WF-C500 is the right choice for buyers who care about sound quality and brand reliability above all else.

Pros:

• Best-in-class sound tuning at the price
• DSEE upscaling improves compressed audio
• Lightest bud on test at 5.4g

Cons:

• No ANC at this price
• 20-hour total battery is shortest in the roundup

How to choose

Choosing wireless earbuds under €100 in Germany comes down to four key criteria. First, prioritise active noise cancellation if you commute on the S-Bahn, U-Bahn or Deutsche Bahn: the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE and Anker Soundcore Space A40 lead on ANC, while the JBL Tune Beam offers a budget-friendly alternative. Second, check battery life: figures range from 20 hours (Sony WF-C500) to 50 hours (Soundcore Space A40), and at least 30 hours total is the sweet spot for most users. Third, look for an IPX4 or higher rating if you plan to use the earbuds for running or in the rain; the JBL Tune Beam and Sony WF-C500 are the only IPX4-rated picks here. Fourth, consider codec support: LDAC (Soundcore, Nothing) delivers Hi-Res Audio on compatible Android phones, while AAC and SBC are sufficient for Spotify on iOS. Finally, factor in ecosystem benefits: Samsung Galaxy Buds FE pair fastest with Galaxy phones, while Nothing Ear (a) unlocks ChatGPT voice control on Nothing devices. Prices on Amazon.de fluctuate, so use a price tracker like Idealo to catch drops below €80 on the flagship picks.
