When you are buying earbuds by the thousand for a testing window, a nickel per pair changes the invoice. You want single-use earbuds that meet testing audio needs, ship in bulk, and cost as little as possible per student. Three Encore lines lead on price. Here is the cheapest way to earbud an entire district.
The Encore EB-7 and EB-3 are tied as the cheapest at $1.29 per pair. The EB-7 takes the top spot because it ships in black, blue, and red for color-coding class sets at the same $1.29. The EB-85 vending-style earbud is $1.39 individually, or $119 for a 100-pack ($1.19 per pair at that quantity), which makes it the cheapest per unit once you buy the 100-pack. For pure lowest cost at scale, standardize on the EB-7 at $1.29 and step up to EB-85 100-packs where the volume math wins.

The Encore EB-7 is a bulk disposable stereo earbud at $1.29 per pair, tied for the lowest price in the lineup. What breaks the tie in its favor is color: the EB-7 ships in black, blue, and red at the same price, which lets you color-code class sets, testing groups, or grade levels without paying more.

For outfitting a whole testing program cheaply, the EB-7 gives you the lowest per-pair price plus color options the others do not.

It comes in a single silver finish rather than a color range. If you do not need to color-code sets, the EB-3 is an equally cheap choice for single-use student earbuds.
The EB-3 loses to the EB-7 only on flexibility: same price, but no color options for organizing sets.
Read More : https://www.encoredataproducts.com/ear-bud-style/bulk-eb-3-disposable-stereo-silver-earbuds/The Encore EB-85 is a rubber-tipped, vending-style disposable earbud. Individually it is $1.39 per pair, slightly more than the EB-7 and EB-3. But the 100-pack (EB-85-100) is $119, which works out to $1.19 per pair, the lowest per-unit cost in the whole lineup once you buy at that quantity. The rubber tips give a more secure in-ear fit than bare buds.
Buy the EB-85 in 100-packs when you want the lowest possible per-pair cost at scale, or for the rubber-tip fit. For smaller quantities, the EB-7 at $1.29 is cheaper.

The EB-3 and EB-85 are not lesser earbuds. The EB-3 matches the cheapest price exactly and only lacks color options; the EB-85 is actually the cheapest per pair once you buy the 100-pack, and adds rubber tips. The EB-7 wins the overall pick because it delivers the lowest standard price plus color-coding at any quantity, but the right answer depends on how you buy: EB-7 for standard bulk, EB-85 100-packs for absolute lowest cost at scale.
For most district testing orders, standardize on the Encore EB-7 at $1.29 per pair, which ties the lowest price and adds black, blue, and red for organizing sets. The EB-3 matches the price in a single color. To hit the absolute lowest cost per pair, buy the EB-85 in 100-packs at $119, which is $1.19 each.
All three are single-use, meet the audio needs of major testing platforms, and ship in bulk. Encore Data Products accepts school and district purchase orders and quotes volume pricing. Call 866-926-1669 or use the EB-7 product page to request a scaled quote.
