In Pakistan’s booming audio industry, earbuds today combine cutting-edge tech, convenience, and value. With demand increasing, from commuters to gamers, the top contenders must not only deliver crisp audio but also possess distinct advantages.
If you desire AI-driven features, local functionality, exceptional battery life, or high-end sound, the following guide explores the best options worth your money.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Core
These newly released earbuds entered Pakistan for approximately ₨20,499. Weighing only 5.3 g per earbud (31 g case), they are almost weightless and introduce IP54-rated endurance. Their 65 mAh buds with 500 mAh case offer up to 35 hours of playback time without ANC—and 21 hours with ANC enabled.
Bluetooth 5.4 facilitates seamless connections, and Samsung’s new Scalable Codec offers AAC and SBC support. ANC is great at controlling city noise, and three microphones provide clear calls.
Most impressive: Galaxy AI features let you translate speech live without touching your phone, a solid advantage for students, travellers, or professionals navigating multilingual environments.
Audionic Trance Airbud 850
Priced around Rs9,000 in Pakistan, the Trance 850 features a six-mic hybrid ANC that promises to slice through 50 dB of ambient noise. That’s an unusual depth for earbuds of this price.
The buds provide 10 hours of playback while the charging case offers almost 50 hours of playback in total, perfect for long commutes or flights. Sound quality wise, the thumping bass, tight highs, and well-balanced mids impress. There is an EQ app that allows you to tweak the sound.
Reddit users verify its performance in real life:
“Sound quality is good with noise cancelation…batteries last quite well.”
“The mix of build quality, tuning, and local support places it at the top for Pakistanis.”
Audionic Trance Airbud 810
The 810 swaps two mics for a showy LED display on the case, quad-mic ANC, and a 50 ms gaming mode, perfect for mobile gamers. Its battery lasts approximately 20 hours overall.
This model is well-suited for media-heavy users: the screen displays battery and connection status, whereas the ANC and latency are appropriate for interactive usage. It costs around ₨9,999 for sturdy mid-range features with distinctive flair for tech-savvy locals.
Sony WF‑1000XM5
Priced to import at a premium, ₨55k to ₨64k, the WF‑1000XM5 offers best-in-class sound and noise cancellation. Dual processors and high-end drivers come together to surround you with rich, detailed sound.
It comes with LDAC codec support, adaptive sound control, and efficient touch controls. Battery life remains robust, though not as long as value competition. If you need audiophile-grade clarity or spend a lot of time in the skies, and you can afford it, these are worth not missing.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2
Even now a bestseller, the Galaxy Buds 2 retail at ₨18k–23k. Each weighs as little as 5 g and provides AKG-tuned sound, ANC, and comfort ventilation. They automatically pause upon removal and quickly charge.
They provide even performance in music, call, and podcasts, making them a daily go-to, particularly for Android users seeking reliable convenience without paying an arm and a leg.
If I’m looking for unparalleled battery life, powerful ANC, and local brand assurance, the Audionic Trance 850 is my best bet. It pairs advanced features with pocket-friendly prices that meet Pakistani demands.
However, if you’re looking for high-end sound and noise cancellation, and budget isn’t an issue, the Sony WF‑1000XM5 is in a league of its own.
