Wireless earbuds are in great demand and the competition is bonkers! A while ago, support for fast charging and ENC were the main highlights of a successful TWS. But now the focus has shifted towards earbuds with ANC under 2000 Rs.
Why Active Noise Cancellation or ANC in earbuds is in great demand on a budget? if you don’t know ANC helps to reduce or in many cases block ambient noise around you like ceiling fans, air conditioners, water coolers, people chatting, vehicle engine humming and so much more.
This technology is expensive and ideally seen on flagship audio gears for around 10,000 odd rupees (even more). And when earbuds around 2000 started giving ANC, this made them more desirable.
At PadhkeDekho, we have spent a good 1 month with these earbuds, and here’s all the information you need to know about earbuds with ANC under 2000 Rs.
Below we’ve also shared mini-reviews that can help in your decision-making. But before starting here’s something more important to note.
ENC is Not ANC
Active Noise Cancellation is not Environmental Noise Cancellation. Many brands do it intentionally to make you “think of them” as an ANC model. Both have different working habits.
ANC works on blocking outside noise when listening to music, consuming media, or even taking calls. Whereas, ENC works only when you are on the call and to cut ambient noise. In this article, we have covered both features.
Here are PadhkeDekho’s 5 best earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation under 2000 rs. we are sure these will take your user experience to the next level.

1. BoAt Airdopes 141 ANC (Best ANC Deal Under 2000 Rs)
Pros
- Great Built Quality
- The use of Matte 7 Chrome Looks Dope
- 10mm Audio Drivers Produce Good Audio
- Dual EQ Modes
- Bluetooth 5.3 (Latest)
- 32dB ANC is on Point and Transparency Mode Helps in Busy Areas
- IPX5 Water & Dust Resistance
- Low Latency For Gaming is Helpful
- Good Call Quality (Quad Mic with ENC)
- 4 to 7 Hours of Battery Backup
- Support Fast Charging
Cons

- Goes Very Loud; Leaks Audio at Max Volume
BoAt Airdopes 141 ANC is new and selling like hotcakes. Its biggest USP is the ANC unto 32 dB. It’s good for the price. The transparency mode works better. You can easily switch between ANC, Ambient Mode and Off. Out of 10, we would give it 8 for Active Noise Cancellation. Here’s our BoAt Airdopes 141 ANC detailed review that you can check out for more.
You will be more impressed with the amazing built quality. As for the looks, the overall design is matte and there’s a smiling glossy line on the case, which looks good. The buds offer a Silver/Chrome strip which makes it quite premium.
The connectivity is flawless and pairs instantly and the range seems good too. We tested the buds for about 8 meters away from the paired device and there was no signal breaking experienced.
For the audio quality, you will be impressed with the overall loudness it offers. Yes, bass is there but it’s not for bass-heavy users. It’s a more pleasant and mixed experience. Vocals and instrument separation are good. As the buds go very loud, there’s some audio distortion only at max volume.
The call quality is amazing too! With ANC and ENC, it filters out most of the ambient noise like vehicles moving, fan noise, and most low-end frequencies. Overall it’s a great ANC earbud under 2000 Rs.

BoAt Airdopes 413 ANC is a little old TWS but it is a powerful one. Be it audio quality, built quality, ANC, or ambient mode performance. If you can find it anywhere, buy it in a blink you will not be disappointed. Here’s our BoAt Airdopes 413ANC review that you must check out.
The ANC performance is great. Be it ambient mode or ANC mode. Almost 80% ambient noise goes like woosh! You will feel that and get addicted too. You can easily switch between the modes with the touch controls.
The built quality is great. The overall design is matte and the case is quite compact. The same treatment is done on the earbuds as well. You can easily carry it around. It’s quite similar to BoAt Airdopes 141 ANC as well.
Audio Quality is phenomenal. The buds produce good bass, sharp vocals, and treble that you will not stop listening to music! It’s that good. The loudness is not heavy like on Airdopes 141 ANC, but the output is 100% distortion-free at any volume.
The mics do cut out ambient noise by about 40 to 50%. It is fine to make your voice the center of focus. This means your voice will not sound robotic and will not merge with the background noise. So for calling, it gets our approval.
Overall BoAt Airdopes 413 ANC is a good option around 2000. The last time I saw it was a little higher than 2000. So do check the latest price.
3. pTron Zen Buds 1 (Cheapest ANC Option)
Pros
- Decent Built Quality
- 4 Color Options
- IPX5 Water Resistance
- 28dB of Hybrid Noise Cancellation Works Good
- 13MM Audio Drivers Offer Good Bass & Vocals
- Call Quality is Good
- Volume Controls Present on Buds
- Up to 60 Hours of Total Playback
- Up to 4-6 hours of Continuous Playback
Cons
- Lacks Transparency Mode
- Gaming Experience is Average
What’s Good About pTron Zen Buds 1?
We got it for 999 Rs, it’s the cheapest ANC earbud from a legitimate company! None of us had high hopes for it and it shocked us! Let’s start with the ANC as that’s what calls you!
You get up to 28 dB of Hybrid Noise Cancellation. Since we’ve also rewired quite a few ANC earbuds we can say it’s average but For 999 Rs, it’s good!
These buds will help you cut out around 30 to 40% of the background noise of constant low-end frequencies like noise from ceiling fan CPU Fan, air conditioner humming, etc. There’s a but that we’ve talked about in the not good section below.
The earbuds come with 13mm drivers which works quite nicely. The highlights are bass and vocals. The sound signature is fun-centric and you will enjoy everything like watching movies listening to music, or playing games.
pTron has also offered a 45 ms low latency mode for gaming and it shows good results with COC, Ashphat 9, Etc. However, you will feel a little more lag on fast-paced shooters. The overall gaming experience is playable.
The case has an overall matte design with 3 color strips making it unique. As per buds, they are all glossy with no complaints. The design is exceptional for the price and the build is quite acceptable for the price range.
You will also see a USB-C charging cable in the box and 2 additional ear tips. Surprisingly, the earbuds offer touch input along with volume controls.
What’s Not Good With pTron Zen Buds 1?
These will be net picking but you should know this. First, the case does not offer magnetic closure. This means you’ll need to be gentle while opening and closing.
Second, you will not have any transparency mode which helps outdoors when you wish to be aware of the surroundings.
Other than that, pTron is going in the right direction.
4. Boult Audio Omega ( Best ENC For Calling)
Pros
- Good Built Quality
- The Design is Perfect For Comfort & Looks
- IPX5 Water Resistance
- Up to 30db of ANC, Transparency Mode & ENC
- Bluetooth 5.1 Seemless Connection
- 13mm Audio Driver With 3 Custom EQ
- Good Base & Distortion-Free Audio Experience
- Good Gaming Feel With 45ms Low Latency
- Up to 32 Hours of Total Playback With ANC
- ENC Works Great; Good For Calling
- Supports Fast Charging
Cons
- The Case is a Little Big
- ANC is Not That Great While Outdoors
What’s Good About Boult Audio Omega?
Like the Boult Audio X60, Omega is also on the same track. Everything from the built quality to looks, comfort, features, compatibility, and gaming mode, is great and with no complaints.
Boult Omega adds more features over Boult Audio X60. To begin with, you get a dedicated gaming mode (which was always on Boult Audio X60) and 3 equalizer modes that take the music game to the next level.
We thoroughly enjoyed the different EQ presets with the 13mm audio drivers. It’s more convenient and practical. You’ll have options like Rock which is perfect for casual use (nothing overpowers anything only bliss), Bass Boosted (bass takes over with high vocals) & HIFI Sound (which increases everything and feel like dancing). The Rock EQ is great overall.
For the price of 1600 Rs, we found the ANC to be good. It can easily cancel out the ceiling fan noise, air conditioners humming, and little office chatter! Indoors it can cancel out more than 80% of ambient noise.
While we are at it, the transparency mode also works well. You can play your music and will not miss the next Metro announcement!
Just like Boult Audio X60, the ENC works flawlessly which makes the call quality great. The other person will not complain much even if you take the call on a busy street.
1 more thing that Boult Audio Omega does better is battery backup. The claimed figure with ANC is 32 hours and without ANC is 34 Hours. Also, on single-use, it can deliver up to 8 hours of juice with ANC.
During testing, we kept the ANC on and volume at full and were able to manage up to 7 hours with ANC. So the claimed values are achievable. Also, you get support for fast charging too.
What’s Not Good on Boult Audio Omega?
The claimed ANC is not that good while outdoors. It’s better than the Boult Audio X60 but not as close as Airdopes 141 ANC (Review).
Another reason is that clarity during calls is missing. Though the ENC blocks out the ambient noise quite exceptional your voice will lose the treble & loudness. You’ll need to speak loudly.
Brand/Model | ANC | ENC | Best Buy Link |

Boult Audio Omega | 8/10 | 9/10 | Amazon |
5. Truke Buds Vibe (Budget Nothing Buds!)

- Great Built Quality (Case & Buds)
- Case is Translucent/Matte; Looks Premium
- Buds Offer Glossy Design
- Bright LCD Display For Battery Percentage
- Bluetooth 5.3
- 13mm Audio Drivers
- 4 EQ Modes
- IPX5 Water Resistance

Cons
- Call Clarity Could’ve Been Better
- Only Two Color Options
What’s Good About Truke Buds Vibe?
The in-hand feeling is perfect thanks to the built quality. The case seems quite sturdy. And also the hinge closes with a satisfying click. The carry case looks dope. It’s translucent and the buds are visible resting inside.
The buds have a steam design and are comfortable for long hours of use. We had no issues wearing these for 5 hours. Also, the buds offer a secure fit and do not lose grip.
The 13mm audio drivers and 4 predefined EQs are perfect. The Balanced Mode is perfect for average use, Dynamic turns into HD; crisp quality, Bass Bosted enhances bass & vocals & Movie detunes bass and improves vocals.
The claimed ANC is up to 35db and it’s better than Airdopes 413. It’s perfect for limiting the ceiling fan noise, Cooler humming, and even the Air conditioner compressor!
For outdoor use, it surpassed the BoAt Airdopes 413ANC. Though it will not magically remove all the people around you their voices will be detuned and not stay in focus. if you wish to know what they are talking transparency mode will help!
ENC also works flawlessly. It can even cut around 90% of the ambient noise around you. We took a few calls on a busy street and the other caller did not complain about the noise or disturbance.
Truke Buds Vibe will kill your battery worries. With claimed figures of 48 hours, it’s the best one on your list. To be honest, we could not use the buds continuously in one go. It took us 15 days to reach 0 percent battery. So you can rest assured battery backup is great!
Truke also claimed up to 40ms of low latency mode. We tested gaming and it’s quite good. So for gaming needs, these are the ones to get.
What’s Not Good About Truke Buds Vibe?
Just like Boult TWS earbuds this one also has strong microphones that cut 90 percent of ambient noise. But this also limits your transmitted voice. It’s not robotic or bad it’s just low, which means you will need to speak louder to be addressed.
6. Flexnest Flexdubs (The Premium Call)
Pros
- Good Built Quality
- The Design of The Case is Good
- The Translucent Case Looks Premium
- Overall Matte Design (Case & Buds)

- Bass is Good
- Vocals & Trebel Are The Highlights
- Loudness is Quite Good

- Call Quality is Good With ENC (Quad Mics)

Cons
- Only One Color Option (That’s Bad)
- The Case is a Little Big and has a Weight to it
What’s Good About Flexnext Flexbuds?
Flexnext is popular for their gym equipment all over the globe and tws earbuds are their new passion!
The build of the earbuds and the case is quite good. Especially the magnetic pull and the hinges are perfect. The case looks premium in all matte and the silver lining around the cap is a nice touch. Similarly, buds are also matte and the overall design is good.
The buds have a slightly thick stem which gives more area to play with touch controls and avoid unwanted control triggers. Also, the comfort on offer is good. We had no issues wearing these for 4 to 5 hours.
As far as audio goes, these come with 10mm drivers. The overall sound quality is good with sharp details. The bass is good (not bass-heavy). Vocals and instrument separation are quite good too. The main highlights are the vocals and treble. The buds are moderately loud.
The brand claims up to 40db of ANC! It is surprisingly better than BoAt Airdopes 413ANC and even Truke Buds Vibe. It blocks the ambient noise by about 95%. Air conditioners, fans even water coolers are not a problem!
You can use these buds indoors or even outdoors. And when you need to be aware of the surroundings you can turn on the transparency mode which is also good. But the ENC is not good (will talk about that in the not-good section).
The battery backup of the Flexbuds is quite good too. Claimed figures with ANC are about 30 hours which is not a problem. You can easily get 4 to 5 with ANC and without ANC it can go around 7 hours. Also, you have support for fast charging.
As far as gaming goes, the company has given low latency mode but the figures are not disclosed. In our testing, we felt it was around 50ms which is fine for gaming. Online multiplayer games were tested and the gaming experience was quite good.
What’s Not Good About Flexnext Flexbuds?
Though the ANC is the best in the list we could’ve taken this as the #1 option in our best earbuds with ANC under 2000 Rs. There are a few things that stopped us from doing so.
The call quality is not that good. Though it offers a quad mic like all the buds in this list, they lack clarity and the vocal transmission is low. There’s some amount of disturbance too.
We also found a few things that might not work for you. First, the case is quite big and is not easily pocketable. It’s more suited in a backpack. And another reason is the weight of the case feels heavy.
Brand/Model | ANC | ENC | Best Buy Link |
---|---|---|---|
Flexnest Flexbuds | 9.5/10 | 7/10 | Amazon |
What Type of ANC Performance to Expect From Earbuds With ANC Under 2000 Rs?
To be frank, ANC is a premium feature and it improves with the money spent on the audio gear. For context, Apple AirPods Pro 2 are the best earbuds for ANC. Then comes OnePlus Buds Pro 2, and Zebra Elite 7 Active.
Under 5000 Rs, you can check out the OnePlus Buds Z2, OnePlus Nord Buds 2, etc. But these are at least 2 to 3 times the ones we are comparing them with!
So, we should not keep our expectations like that! This does not mean you can buy any of the earbuds with that plea. All the buds on the best earbuds with ANC under 2000 Rs list are worth it and that’s why we are recommending it.
Sure, they will not magically move a car or bus in the air like the Apple AirPods Pro 2 commercials, but they certainly can work to reduce or remove the ambient noise around you in the room. You can sense the change when you use these earbuds for just 10 minutes.
Let me just put all the earbuds as per their ANC, Transparency Mode, and Call Quality.
Model | ANC | Ambient Mode | ENC | Best Buy |
BoAt Airdopes 141ANC | 8/10 | 9/10 | 8/10 | |
Noise Buds VS104 | 9/10 | 8/10 | 9/10 | |
Flexnest Flexdubs | 9.5/10 | 9/10 | 8/10 | |
