Some of the best headphones are deceptively priced. My favorite budget headphones are just $70, and during Black Friday (last week at time of writing), the Bose QuietComfort over-ear headphones fell to just $199. While $199 isn’t technically the cheapest pair of headphones ever, it’s actually only $50 more than the Baseus Bowie 30 Max headphones we're talking about here.
The $149 price tag puts the Bowie 30 Max headphones a little out of the best cheap headphones category, but it's unlikely you'll ever pay $149 for them. They're currently reduced to $99 at time of writing, and I'm yet to see them drop. Unfortunately for Baseus though, I am duty-bound to evaluate them at their MSRP of $149.
