Best Earbuds For Calls Reviews & Buyers Guide of 2023

 

Top Picks

• Best Overall: Sony WF-1000XM4 Industry Leading  

Sony's WF-1000XM4 earbuds have a brand-new microphone configuration. The company has improved call noise reduction and beamforming technology, as well as introduced a bone-conducting microphone that only picks up vibrations from your speech and works in tandem with the microphones surrounding the earphones to provide excellent call quality even under difficult conditions. Sony's new top-of-the-line earphones have also been improved in terms of comfort and design. The ear tips of the WF-1000XM4 earphones are substantially more comfortable and compact. This is due to the fact that they are composed of a special foam.

• Best Conversation Mode: SAMSUNG Galaxy Buds 2 Pro True Wireless  

After the release of the much-anticipated Galaxy Buds Pro sequel, all Samsung fans now have yet another amazing option for the best earbuds for phone calls. The Buds 2 Pro has a sophisticated system of microphones (three on each earbud - two on the outside and one on the inside), which enables exceptional sound quality, including voice calls, in addition to all of the other bells and whistles. Voice Detect is an intelligent interface technology that recognizes when you start speaking, as the name implies so that the earphones can reply accordingly. Naturally, there is ANC, and the aforementioned microphones have contributed to its improvement.

• Best International Version: Samsung Galaxy Buds Live  

The bean-shaped Galaxy Buds Live earbuds have a remarkable ergonomic design. They are among the most comfortable earbuds available, and you won't even notice they are in your ears. However, Buds Live has more tricks in its bag than ergonomics. In terms of call quality, this correlates to the fact that when the ANC is on, things improve even more, and you will have no trouble hearing the other side. The microphone quality is also very good; during our testing, we heard that when someone was on the other end of the line, it sounded like we were talking on a regular phone.

• Best Sports Earbuds: Jabra Elite Active 75t True Wireless Bluetooth 

If you're an athlete, the Jabra Elite Active 75t earbuds are great for phone talks. They are ergonomic and will not fall out during your run or activity. There's also noise suppression and the HearThrough feature, both of which are essential if you're performing activities outside. These Active earbuds include IP57 certification and a 5-band EQ to allow you to tailor the sound to your tastes. They are easy to use in the rain or to rinse.

• Best for iPhone: Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) 

Apple debuted the much-anticipated AirPods Pro 2 during its September "Far Out" event, thus the AirPods Pro 2 title. Three long years after the debut of the original Pro model, the Cupertino company now boasts 2x stronger noise cancellation as well as Spatial Audio compatibility for its new top bud model. For better or worse, the majority of the rest stays substantially unchanged; the designs are so similar that they may be mistaken for the previous model. The addition of touch controls to the stem is a welcome enhancement.
