Big-ticket items might get the lion’s share of the attention during Amazon Prime Day, but look below the surface and you’ll find a bunch of deals on items that were already budget-friendly. Case in point: our pick for the best budget wireless earbuds, the Anker Soundcore Space A40, have dropped to $49. That’s a discount of $31 and brings the earbuds back down to match their record-low price. This is just one of many Prime Day deals we have our eye on.

We feel that the Soundcore Space A40 buds deliver excellent active noise cancellation (ANC) performance, especially for a model in this price range. Anker employs an adaptive system by default that adjusts the ANC intensity based on the noise around you. You can set the ANC to strong, moderate or weak levels manually too and Anker claims it can block up to 98 percent of noise. It’s worth noting that the ANC might not be as effective for blocking higher-pitch sounds, while the transparency mode does the trick, but it’s not nearly as effective as what you’d find on more premium earbuds.

The Space A40 buds are pretty comfortable. They have a battery life of about eight hours, with the charging case adding around another 40. The default sound profile is warm and pleasant without totally blowing out the low end. You can tweak the EQ settings to your preference in the Soundcore app, which can help you refine the bass and higher frequencies. The touch controls are customizable too. Changes you make are saved directly to the earphones.

The IXP4 water resistance rating isn’t super robust, but you’ll be able to wear the Space A40 in light rain and at the gym without too much of a concern. What’s more, there’s multipoint pairing, so you can connect the earbuds to two devices at the same time — for what it’s worth, we haven’t encountered any significant connection issues.
