Great sound doesn’t have to come with a luxury price tag. Whether you’re a music lover, gamer, or remote worker, the Nigerian market is now home to a growing selection of high-quality headphones under ₦150,000 that rival far more expensive models.
With inflation still impacting consumer electronics prices, shoppers are hunting for gear that balances performance and affordability. After testing several models on battery life, sound quality, build, and comfort, these five headphones stood out:
🎧 1. Anker Soundcore Space One – ₦118,000
Don’t let the price fool you — this headphone packs serious audio punch with hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC), LDAC support, and a plush over-ear design. A 40-hour battery life with ANC on makes it perfect for travel or long workdays.
🎧 2. Sony WH-CH720N – ₦142,000
A lighter, more affordable cousin of Sony’s flagship WH-1000XM5, the CH720N offers exceptional sound clarity, solid ANC, and a minimalist design. The Adaptive Sound Control is a nice bonus for users moving between environments.
🎧 3. JBL Live 660NC – ₦130,000
JBL continues to impress with powerful bass, customizable EQ via its app, and multi-point connectivity. The 50-hour battery life and comfortable fit make it a top contender for everyday use.
🎧 4. Edifier W820NB Plus – ₦95,000
An underdog in this roundup, the Edifier W820NB Plus features Hi-Res audio support, decent ANC, and a lightweight frame. Great for budget-conscious buyers who don’t want to sacrifice quality.
🎧 5. OneOdio Monitor 80 – ₦105,000
Tailored for audiophiles and content creators, the Monitor 80 features open-back drivers for a wide soundstage. While not wireless, it’s a studio-grade option rarely seen at this price point.
Final Verdict:
The days of spending over ₦200K for quality headphones are over. These five options prove that with the right research, buyers can score premium features — like active noise cancellation, Hi-Res audio, and long battery life — without overspending.
