To get a more comprehensive breakdown of the best wireless earbuds available right now, head over to our sister site SoundGuys. For a quicker read, we selected the best options below.
Best wireless earbuds:
Editor's note: We will update this list of the best wireless earbuds regularly as new devices launch.
1. Sennheiser HD-1 In-Ear
The Sennheiser HD1 In-Ear Wireless earbuds are a neckband style earbud that are comfortable and flexible, both of which are great for all-day use.
The Sennheiser HD-1 wireless earbuds support both aptX and AAC, meaning both Android and iPhone users will benefit from reliable high-quality streaming. They maintain a reliable connection within a 10-meter radius. Battery life is good, too. A full charge takes just 1.5 hours and affords up to 10 hours of listening. As is typical with Sennheiser, sound quality is excellent. The earbuds slightly boost bass frequencies, which is great for hip-hop and pop music. For the listener in search of earbuds that can do a little bit of everything, get the HD-1 In-Ear.
2. OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2
The earbuds are magnetized. When clasped together, music playback is automatically paused.
You don't need to use a OnePlus smartphone to enjoy all the perks the OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2 have to offer. These wireless neckband earbuds operate via Bluetooth 5.0 firmware and support aptX HD for high-quality wireless audio. They also support quick charging: 10 minutes of charging via USB-C provides 10 hours of playback. SoundGuys' testing yielded 14.2 hours of listening on a single charge.
Sound quality is enjoyable for most general consumers. Bass notes sound louder than midrange notes, which means vocals may sound quiet at times. Isolation, on the other hand, is impeccable for a pair of non-ANC earbuds. If you commute often and don't want to shell out for noise-cancelling earbuds, these are your next best bet.
3. Jaybird Tarah
The Jaybird Tarah provides most of what the Jaybird X4 does for significantly less money.
The Tarah provides most of what you get from the Jaybird X4 for significantly less. The Tarah are IPX7-rated just like the Jaybird X4, meaning they can withstand full submersion of one meter for up to 30 minutes. The main difference between the models is battery life. The Tarah have a six-hour battery life, two hours less than the X4. The housings are a bit bulkier than the flagship model, and the nozzles are angled more aggressively. You do, however, benefit from the same cable cinch mechanism. This effectively manages unwieldy cables. Athletes should consider these reasonably priced 'buds.
4. BeatsX
Listeners using an iOS device will enjoy an optimal listening experience with the BeatsX due to the earbuds' AAC support and integrated W1 chip.
These are the best wireless earbuds for listeners who don't want to invest in the Apple AirPods or Beats PowerBeats Pro. They're Class 1 Bluetooth-compliant, support AAC, and use Apple's W1 chip. Unfortunately, you aren't afforded hands-free access to Siri, since that's only available with the H1 chip. You still benefit from snappy response time and seamless performance with iOS devices, though. Bass notes are emphasized but not to an egregious extent. If you're an iPhone user looking for a daily pair earbuds, the BeatsX are it.
5. Plantronics BackBeat Go 410
The Plantronics Backbeat Go 410 stay secure thanks to the neckband and has a neat battery saving trick.
The Plantronics BackBeat Go 410 are the most unique Bluetooth earbuds listed because they also support wired listening for when the battery dies. It's not the most comfortable pair of earbuds to wear when wired, but it does the trick in a pinch. These are also noise-cancelling earbuds. While it doesn't outdo the Sony WF-1000XM3 true wireless earbuds, it's effective enough to quiet surrounding chatter. The housings are magnetic. This prevents undue tangling and automatically pauses music when hooked together.
What you should know about Bluetooth earbuds
Before buying wireless earbuds, there are a few things to keep in mind when shopping around:
- A proper fit can vastly improve audio quality. It's worth taking a few moments to test out the standard ear tip options. If a pair is too large or small, you could be missing out on bumping bass and general clarity.
- Although this isn't a list of the best workout earbuds, many of these have merited an IP certification. This stands for "Ingress Protection" and is a moniker used to inform consumers that a pair of earbuds has gone through rigorous testing to ensure water-resistance.
- True wireless earbuds are salient, but standard wireless earbuds are still relevant. If you don't want to deal with the connectivity issues plaguing truly wireless options, any of this list's picks will do.
