Best Earbuds under £40 for commuting

Samsung ME542

34.7 Commute Score
in-ear
Why we recommend this

The 14.2mm dynamic driver with an integrated DAC chip delivers Hi-Res audio across a 20Hz–20kHz range through a direct USB-C connection, bypassing the need for a 3.5mm jack. A 30g half-in-ear body, anti-knot magnetic earbuds, and a TPE cable rated for over 15,000 bends make it highly portable and tangle-resistant. This wired headset suits budget-focused users of iPhone 16 or Galaxy S25 series devices who want dependable call quality and button controls without battery concerns.

Samsung EarFlowC Plus

27.4 Commute Score
in-ear
Why we recommend this

Integrated USB-C DAC chip and 10mm dynamic driver produce clear mids and deep bass, while magnetic earbuds and a stainless steel connector reinforce durability. Oxygen-free copper cabling and a three-button remote provide reliable wired control across devices, supported by a 12-month warranty. Best for budget listeners wanting a lossless wired USB-C audio solution for music, given its weak 27/100 call quality.
