The Lenovo 110 Analog earbuds are super comfortable and dirt cheap, but the sound quality is among the worst we've tested. They're fine for calls and podcasts if you're on a tight budget. For music, look elsewhere.

The 9mm dynamic driver pushes out audio that lands in the 8th percentile for sound. That's bottom-of-the-barrel territory. Music comes through muddy and flat, with no real separation or detail. The mic is also mediocre at the 39th percentile, so calls won't sound great on the other end. Build quality is a weak spot too, sitting at the 34th percentile. But the comfort is genuinely impressive, and the 3.5mm plug-and-play setup means zero friction. Just don't expect these to impress anyone with audio quality.

Stacked against the Nothing Buds 2, Soundcore P31i, or Baseus Bass BP1 Pro, the Lenovo 110 gets smoked on sound, build, and features. Those competitors are wireless, have better drivers, and offer actual audio quality. The Sony WI-C100 is also wired but delivers far better sound and mic performance. The only place the Lenovo wins is comfort and price. If you're choosing between these and literally any of the top competitors, the competitors win unless your budget is the single deciding factor.

At around $10 USD or €17-35 depending on where you shop, these are priced like an impulse buy. The EUR spread is notable, with listings ranging from €17 to €35 across DE, ES, FR, and IT. If you're in Europe, hunt for the lower end of that range because paying €35 for these is a mistake. For a tenner, you're getting comfortable wired buds with a mic. That's about it. The value is fine if you only need something disposable for calls or podcasts, but don't expect musical enjoyment.

The Lenovo 110 Analog in-ear headphones are about as basic as wired earbuds get. You get a 9mm dynamic driver, a 3.5mm jack, an inline mic, and a play/pause button. That's the whole pitch. No app, no Bluetooth, no charging case. Just plug them in and go.

And honestly, for a budget pair of wired buds, the comfort is the real story here. These sit in the 95th percentile for comfort in our database, which is wild for something this cheap. But the sound quality? That's a different conversation, and it's not a fun one.

Skip these if you care about music quality at all. The sound is genuinely bad, and you'll notice it immediately. Also skip if you need a reliable mic for important calls, since the pickup is mediocre. And if you're rough on gear, the flimsy build won't survive long. Anyone wanting wireless or ANC should look at the Nothing Buds 2 or Soundcore P31i instead.

Buy these if you need a cheap, comfortable pair of wired earbuds for Zoom calls or voice memos and you don't care about music quality. They're fine for spoken audio and basic tasks. Anyone who listens to music regularly should skip these entirely. The sound is just too rough to recommend for anything beyond utility use.
