Wireless Bluetooth headphones have become increasingly popular over the last several years. The best wireless headphones have support for great, high-fidelity sound. That’s why the Sony WH-1000XM3 is our best overall pick. It features excellent sound quality, battery life, and are comfortable for long-term use — and their noise cancelation is second-to-none.

Best Overall: Sony WH-1000XM3

By far, the most significant feature of the XM3s is its class-leading active noise-canceling (ANC). Not only does it make traveling much easier by completely drowning out things such as planes and trains; the XM3 is excellent at blocking out higher-pitched sounds as well. The ANC you get out of the XM3 is legitimate, and it sometimes feels like you’re in an empty room.

In terms of sound quality, bass heads will rejoice here. The sound quality of the XM3s lean heavily on the bass giving it a ton of thump and rumble. So much so that it can often sound overbearing and muddy. The mid-range is rela… 閱讀全文 →

Not all great headphones have to be super expensive. And not all cheap headphones have to be bad. Sometimes you have to find the middle ground. The Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2 is a perfect example of this with superb sound quality, long battery life, and are super comfortable to use for long periods.

Best Overall: Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2

The Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2 are by far the best value when it comes to headphones in this price range. They have physical media controls that are super solid, long battery life with up to 30 hours on a single charge, and are ultra-comfortable for long term use.

In terms of sound quality, the BackBeat Pro 2 offer a rather neutral mid-range and treble, with a modest bass boost to give it an overall warmer sound signature. Making it suitable for more bass-heavy genres such as EDM, hip-hop, or rap, but with the neutrality of the mid-range and treble, they’re versatile enough to be good in all genres.

For comfort, the BackBeat Pro 2 are decent…. 閱讀全文 →

If you’re looking to either replace or add a set of Bluetooth headphones to your collection without breaking the bank, you’re in the right place. There are plenty of options ranging from truly wireless earbuds up to over-ear headphones that you can get for less than $100. If you’re looking for the best overall headphones, look no further than the OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2, which offer the best balance of portability and quality.

Best Overall: OnePlus Bullets 2 Wireless

The OnePlus Bullets 2 Wireless are the pinnacle of great wireless earbuds. They’re not too ambitious and don’t pack in too many features — they aren’t truly wireless with a wireless charging case, for example. However, what they do offer is handy; they pause when the two buds magnetically attach, and there’s warp charging, netting you an impressive 10 hours of listening time from a 10-minute charge.

In terms of sound, the Bullets 2 are great for their size. They have a small bump in the bass with a rather neutr… 閱讀全文 →

If you’re a runner, you know that not all pairs of headphones will work, whether you’re completing miles on the track or around town. If you want to listen to your music or podcasts while on the move, you need headphones that are sweatproof, lightweight, and offer great sound. No matter if you’re a pro or just get started with the running lifestyle, these are our favorite headphones for runners.

Flagship earbuds

Jaybird Vista

Staff pick

The Jaybird Vista are our go-to pick for runners. First and foremost, they feature IPX7 water-resistance, which means they’ll be able to withstand the most intense workouts and sweat without any issue. Not only that, but they also feature up to 6 hours of battery life on a single charge (buds), with an additional 10 hours of battery life from the included charging case, netting you a total of 16 hours of audio playback.

True wireless earbuds have gotten great over the past several years. The ones you typically hear about are super expensive, but there are some great budget options out there, such as the Creative Outlier Air, which offer fantastic battery life, great comfort, and superb sound quality.

Best Overall: Creative Outlier Air

Battery life is one of the standout features of the Creative Outlier Air. Even compared to some high-end true wireless earbuds, the Outlier Air outperforms most of them with up to 10 hours of audio playback on the buds themselves. The included charging case nets you an additional 20 hours of audio playback, which equates to up to 30 hours listening time. The only real downside is that the case does not feature wireless charging, which is unfortunate.

Comfort is excellent, but only if they fit your ear. Unlike most other earbuds and true wireless earbuds, the Outlier Air only come with one extra set of ear tips in the box. Typically, earbud companies will include s… 閱讀全文 →

The AirPods Pro aren’t a terribly great value on Android but the ANC and comfort may entice you to pick them up over other truly wireless earbuds.

The AirPods Pro are an Apple product which means they’ll work best when paired to an Apple device such as an iPhone or an iPad. However, the AirPods Pro still function like any other Bluetooth earbud on Android.

Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)/Transparency Mode

The biggest reason to grab the AirPods Pro instead of any other earbuds is for their fantastic combination of ANC and transparency mode the buds offer. The ANC performance is surprisingly good for their size and they can easily be the only pair of earbuds you travel with, especially if you’re tight on space. The AirPods Pro are great at blocking out low-end, and midrange noises, but struggle with higher pitched noises. However, that’s expected as most other ANC headphones and earbuds face the same problem. If we had to draw parallels to over-ear headphones, the AirPods Pro are ve… 閱讀全文 →

Over-ear headphones may not be as popular as they once were but they still have a place in the market. They’re great for when you want the best sound quality you can possibly get from a headphone. Portable, and especially wireless (Bluetooth) headphones have exploded over the past decade and that’s why the Sony WH-1000XM3 have taken our top spot as the best overall headphone you can buy right now.

Best Overall: Sony WH-1000XM3

No surprise here. Sony still remains king of active noise-canceling (ANC) headphones, and Bluetooth headphones in general, with its WH-1000XM3. Not only does it have class-leading ANC, it tries to shove every possible feature you might want in a headphone into it while still retaining a great 30 hours of battery life on a single charge. When the WH-1000XM3 are dead, you can plug the included USB-C cable in and get a quick charge. Ten minutes of charge nets you five hours of listening time. Unfortunately, during that time you wont be able to actually use you… 閱讀全文 →

In 2019, when smartphones are slowly but surely getting rid of the 3.5mm audio jack from smartphones and tablets, users are turning to wireless as the next viable option. The Sony WF-1000XM3 is currently the best overall truly wireless earbud around for Android. It features solid sound, long battery life, and class-leading active noise cancelation (ANC).

Best Overall: Sony WF-1000XM3

There aren’t many ANC truly wireless earbuds out there outside of the Sony WF-1000XM3 and AirPods Pro. This is why the Sony WF-1000XM3 is an easy pick when it comes to ANC performance. The design isn’t the prettiest, and they’re rather bulky, but they get the job done.

Battery life is excellent with up to six hours alone and up to 19 hours with the charging case. For a pair of truly wireless ANC earbuds, the WF-1000XM3 perform surprisingly excellent in this department. Of course, as with most ANC headphones, the WF-1000XM3 offer an ambient sound mode that reverses the ANC microphones to allow the ou… 閱讀全文 →
