The 10 Best Wireless Headphones Earbuds (2023 Review & Buyers Guide)

Top Picks

• Best Overall: NEW Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II  

The second-generation QuietComfort Earbuds 2 from Bose are not only around 30% smaller than their predecessors, but their housing is also much smaller and actually pocketable. They boast the best noise cancellation in their class and superior sound quality because of Bose's ground-breaking CustomTune sound calibration technology. The original QuietComfort Earbuds are significantly outperformed in terms of performance during voice conversations. The other noticeable change is the ear tips.

• Best Charging Case: Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)  

Apple's new H2 processor, which the firm claims delivers more processing capabilities while consuming less energy, powers the new AirPods Pro (2nd generation), which are presently available for presale and will start shipping on September 23. When used in conjunction with new low-distortion speakers, the new processor enables the creation of excellent sound with increased clarity and depth. Additionally, according to Apple, the new AirPods offer "twice" as much noise cancellation as the AirPods Pro from the first generation.

• Best Game Mode: EarFun Air S Noise Cancelling Wireless   

As we've previously said, Earfun's AirPro SV and Air Pro 2 are still excellent choices for inexpensive noise-canceling earbuds today. The multipoint Bluetooth connection, Qualcomm's QCC3046 SoC, and the AptX audio codec for Android and other compatible devices, however, may make the newest Earfun Air S the best of the three. It has the same 10mm, wool drivers as the AirPro SV and provides surprisingly nice sound for its modest cost. They also perform well as a headset for phone calls with good background noise reduction.

• Best Listening Time: Beats Fit Pro - True Wireless  

Apple recently unveiled a brand-new set of earbuds, this time from Beats, a subsidiary of Apple's parent business, after the introduction of the third-generation AirPods. The Beats Fit Pro, which costs $200 and isn't an official AirPod, has the same technical foundation as the AirPods Pro but goes by a different moniker. In contrast to Beats' earlier and less expensive Studio Buds, the Beats Fit Pro incorporates Apple's H1 processor and the majority of the features of the AirPods Pro, such as active noise cancellation, spatial audio, and Adaptive EQ.

• Best Processor: Sony WF-1000XM4 Industry Leading 

There is obviously no perfect pair of earbuds, and not everyone will like the fit of the Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds or be able to pay their hefty cost. But if you want earbuds with superb quality, active noise cancellation, the ability to make crystal-clear voice calls, and long battery life, these are the ones for you. They meet all requirements.
