Buying budget wireless headphones usually meant living with obvious trade-offs – at least until a few years ago. Even today, plenty of premium models still have their own shortcomings. That being said, there’s no shortage of affordable options out there that are slowly catching up and punch well above their weight class to challenge headphones that cost $300 or more. The Baseus Inspire XH1 I’ve been using over the past few weeks is a great example, delivering effective ANC, surprisingly good sound quality, and excellent battery life. They’ve easily become my favorite budget headphones of the year – and you can read on to find out why.

It’s true that most modern cars come equipped with a couple of USB ports or even wireless charging pads, but nothing quite matches the convenience of a dedicated charger that plugs into the auxiliary port for fast, reliable power delivery.

This unit not only features multiple ports and connectors to charge up to four devices at once, but it also swivels and rotates for flexible positioning.

Here’s a closer look at why I believe it’s such a dependable and well-designed pick.
