I review audio gear for a living, and the only budget headphones I've ever recommended are 35% off right now — hurry!
I test the best headphones, the best earbuds, the best speakers, and much, much more every single day. If an audio product exists, I've probably listened to it at some point. There are a few budget earbuds and speakers that I love, but only one pair of budget headphones. Other inexpensive headphones seem to fall flat in almost every area, especially the most important: sound quality. However, there's one pair that I won't shut up about. The JLab JBuds Lux ANC. And while the regular MSRP is $79, right now you can get them for just $51 on Amazon U.S. . The JLab JBuds Lux ANC headphones are on sale in all four colors (white, black, purple, green) on Amazon U.S. right now. There are many reasons to love these headphones, but the most important reason of all? Sound quality, of course. There are so many reasons why these headphones outperform every other pair I've tested, but it basically boils down to one element. Sound quality. The JLab JBuds Lux ANC simply excel in terms of sound quality. While other brands' budget headphones tend to send me to Tinny City (an overly-obvious metaphor for trash sound quality), the Lux ANC cans offer balanced yet deep sound. I will admit the bass performance is a little heavy-handed. In my review of the JLab JBuds Lux ANC, I wrote, "Jazz-tinged crooning vocals from Clairo's 'Sexy to Someone' was smooth and gentle, with the charisma you'd expect from much pricier headphones. I especially liked the sliding guitar notes in the chorus; but the bass notes were a touch muddled." I added, "Confidence Man['s] 'Let Them Bells Ring' pounded through the drivers with such groove that I wanted to stop mid-walk and start boogie-ing (I won't, for everyone else's sakes), although a little of the bass was lost amongst the liveliness of the track." While it's true that the bass can be muddled, this isn't rare on budget headphones. Actually, this is the main symptom of cheap headphones. I've yet to find budget cans that completely blow me away, but the Lux ANCs are the closest I've ever got to affordable perfection. Now they're just $51, so I'd boogie over to Amazon to snag this deal before it's too late.

Olivia Dean goes public with Eddie Burns at Wimbledon after Harry Styles dating rumours
British soul singer Olivia Dean has gone public with her new boyfriend, Eddie Burns, the drummer in Clairo's band, making their first official appearance as a couple at Wimbledon this past weekend. The pair arrived hand-in-hand on Day 5 of the tournament, sparking a flurry of media attention following months of quiet speculation. Dean, 26, and Burns, 27, were first linked in April, after fans noticed the singer engaging with his posts on Instagram. Their joint appearance at Wimbledon confirms what fans had suspected, especially after both artists performed at the BST Hyde Park festival on Sunday, where Dean and Clairo supported Sabrina Carpenter. Burns, a Chicago native with a rich musical background, has toured globally with Clairo, supporting major acts like Dua Lipa and Khalid, and playing alongside artists such as Macy Gray and Omar Apollo. His jazz roots were honed at the Merit School of Music and The Jazz Institute of Chicago, giving him a versatile foundation that's evident on stage. The news comes after Olivia was previously rumoured to be romantically involved with Harry Styles last year. The speculation began when the two were spotted at Five Guys in London just months after Styles' breakup with actress Taylor Russell. They were later seen at the Kalorama Festival in Madrid, further fuelling relationship rumours. However, sources denied any romantic link, saying the two were simply good friends. Despite a brief return of rumours last month, when Styles was seen kissing a mystery woman at Glastonbury, later identified as producer Ella Kenny, the focus has now firmly shifted to Dean's confirmed romance with Burns. With a BRIT nomination, a Mercury Prize nod for her debut album Messy, and a second album due this September, Olivia Dean's personal and professional life both appear to be thriving.

EXCLUSIVE Olivia Dean dating drummer Eddie Burns as couple make their public debut at Wimbledon after singer was romantically linked to Harry Styles
Olivia Dean is in a relationship with Eddie Burns, the drummer in fellow singer Clairo's band, MailOnline can reveal. The soul singer, 26, has been linked to the US musician, 27, since April, after she began liking several of his photos on Instagram. They made their public debut as couple over the weekend, arriving for day 5 of Wimbledon on Friday hand-in-hand and cosying up for photos. The couple also both performed onstage at BST in Hyde Park on Sunday, with Olivia and Clairo supporting headliner Sabrina Carpenter. Eddie grew up in a musical family and went on to hone his technical skills at the Merit School of Music and The Jazz Institute of Chicago. While touring with Clairo, he's performed in Asia, Europe, Australia and South America and supported Dua Lipa and Khalid, as well as played with Macy Gray, Omar Apollo and The O'my's. Her new romance comes after Olivia was previously rumoured to be dating Harry Styles last year. Speculation surrounding the pair began in August, after they were spotted grabbing a burger together at Five Guys in London - just two months after the One Direction star, 31, split from Taylor Russell. A fan snapped several photos of Harry ordering a meal at the counter with Olivia stood beside him watching on, sending the rumour mill swirling At the time, The Sun claimed the pair were getting to know each other privately, with an insider telling the publication: 'Harry and Olivia have known each other for a while. 'They have loads in common with their music taste and are enjoying getting to know each other out of the spotlight. 'Harry loves nothing more than cycling and trying out new food spots in the capital and Olivia is a London girl so knows all the best places.' A month later and the two were seen together again, watching Sam Smith perform at the Kalorama music festival in Madrid, with Harry also spotted by an eagle-eyed fan leaving Olivia's set at the festival. The sightings got people talking, with social media soon rife with theories about whether the pair were dating. Fans excitedly tweeted: 'Harry Styles and Olivia Dean are dating???'; 'I've loved Olivia Dean for two years now and I just saw a picture of her and Harry Styles.' 'Let me tell you right now, if these Harry Styles and Olivia Dean rumours are true I will be a v v happy girl';'I beg Harry Styles to ask Olivia Dean to be his opener for his next tour'. However, despite the fan theories, a source told MailOnline last year that Harry and Olivia are just good friends. But, rumours surrounding the pair were reignited last month, after Harry was spotted passionately kissing a mystery woman in the VIP area of Glastonbury. Several fans suggested at first that it was Olivia who was locking lips with the Watermelon Sugar hitmaker. However, the woman was later revealed to be north London producer Ella Kenny, 28, who has produced music videos for artists such as Nia Archives, Rachel Chinouriri, and Slow Thai, as well as Anne-Marie and Aitch's huge hit PSYCHO. Olivia is a popular neo soul singer, who was nominated for three BRIT Awards last year, for Best Pop Act, British Artist Of The Year and Best New Artist. She was accepted into the famous BRIT school at the age of 15 to study theatre, but switched to songwriting - teaching herself to play the guitar and piano. She began writing songs aged 16, and just a year later she was hired by Rudimental to be a backing singer, playing with the band at Sziget Festival and featuring on their single Adrenaline. Branching out to make her own music, Olivia released her debut EP, OK Love You Bye, in 2019, which led to her scoring a record deal with EMI. In 2021 she was named breakthrough artist of the year by Amazon Music and she released her debut album, Messy, in 2023. Messy was critically praised and shortlisted for prestigious The Mercury Prize, causing Olivia's stardom to rise, with her second album, The Art of Loving, set to be released September 26.

Clairo and Ayo Edebiri Arrested as Sabrina Carpenter's 'Juno' Girls
Clairo and Ayo Edebiri just joined a long line of celebs who have been arrested at Sabrina Carpenter's concert. No, they weren't actually arrested—they were rightfully named Sabrina's 'Juno' girls for the night during her second headlining show at London's BST Hyde Park on July 6. In case you need a refresher, Sabrina chooses someone to 'arrest for being too hot' with fuzzy pink handcuffs before performing her song 'Juno,' surrounded by blue-and-red lights and siren sounds. In the past, she's given shoutouts to A-listers like Millie Bobby Brown, Salma Hayek, and Marcello Hernandez. Now, Clairo and Ayo are getting the same treatment after the 'Sexy to Someone' singer opened for Sabrina at Hyde Park. In a fan-captured video posted to Pop Crave, the duo started a hilarious bit as Sabrina called on them in the crowd. Once the cameras panned on them, they started doing Charli XCX's 'Apple' dance, to which Sabrina playfully quipped, 'So it's close, that's just a different show.' There are layers to this joke, people! ICYMI, Charli does some similar crowd work at her concerts, and Clairo was chosen as the 'Apple' girl during one of her Brooklyn shows back in May. The 'Manchild' hitmaker then kept the bit going and referenced the infamous 'Clairo shade' joke that's made its rounds online. 'Ayo, I'm feeling you so hard,' Sabrina said before realizing she unintentionally left Clairo out. She continued, 'Sorry about the Clairo shade, I'm kidding. Claire, I love you too.' The love didn't stop there. Sabrina also shared a sweet black-and-white photo of the pair in her latest Instagram photo dump, where she wrote, 'To my sweet 'Juno' girls @clairo @ayoedebiri I'm looking forward to our life together 🤍.' Another Ayo and Clairo collab—even in the form of a deliciously chaotic concert cameo—is just what we needed. They go way back, as the 'Sofia' singer reflected on her friendship with Ayo during her Seventeen cover interview in April. 'We probably met through mutual friends, but I am a massive fan of Ayo's. The way she thinks is amazing and she's so creative, funny, and naturally herself,' the Grammy nominee said of The Bear star before calling her a 'quality human.' She added, 'It's nice to be friends with people who are experiencing similar things to you. Having that empathy for each other is helpful. You lean on each other.'
