Best wireless earbuds overall: Sony WF-1000XM5

The Sony WF-1000XM5 stands out as a top-tier choice in the competitive world of noise canceling earbuds. They are 25% smaller and 20% lighter than the previous WF-1000XM4, featuring a redesigned shape with more angled nozzles and flexible ear tips, of which you get four sets. All of which makes them a whole heck of a lot more comfortable and secure.

As for active noise cancellation (ANC), the WF-1000XM5 is one of the best in its class. Equipped with new processors and improved microphone systems, our testing shows that these earbuds effectively attenuate low-frequency noise by over 30 dB, resulting in an 87% reduction in perceived noise.

While the default sound profile leans towards a bass-heavy signature, the overall audio quality is excellent. The earbuds offer a wider soundstage and good clarity. Sony’s LDAC codec support also ensures high-quality audio streaming for compatible devices. Other features include customizable touch controls and multipoint connectivity. The Sony Headphones Connect app allows for extensive customization, including EQ adjustments and adaptive sound control.

Best earbuds for iPhone owners: Apple AirPods Pro 2

The Apple AirPods Pro 2 are the premier choice for iPhone users. They seamlessly integrate with the Apple ecosystem and offer a slew of exclusive features, such as easy pairing, automatic switching between devices, and Adaptive Transparency mode. Thanks to the new H2 chip, the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) performance is the best for AirPods so far. The AirPods Pro 2 effectively attenuate low-frequency noise by 20-30dB, translating to an 83% reduction in perceived noise, according to our testing.

Sound quality is excellent, with a slight emphasis on bass that most users will appreciate. The wider soundstage and good clarity across frequencies make for an enjoyable listening experience. The inclusion of personalized Spatial Audio and support for the AAC codec ensures high-fidelity audio for iOS devices. We do wish there was a customizable EQ in the Apple settings app, however.

Battery life has been improved, though it still lags behind the competitors. With ANC enabled, it offers over 6 hours of playback according to our tests, and the case provides an additional 24 hours. The case now features a speaker for easier location tracking and supports MagSafe, Qi wireless, and Apple Watch charging.

If the $249 price tag is too steep for you, there are a handful of solid iPhone earbuds or AirPods Pro alternatives out there for iPhone and Android users alike. You can even snag the first-gen AirPods Pro for .

The best earbuds for noise canceling on a budget: Sony WF-C710N

The Sony WF-C710N offer a compelling blend of features for their mid-range price. In our testing, they delivered reliable active noise canceling that punches well above their weight, with strong passive isolation and ANC combining to reduce noise by an average of 85%. Their sound quality is also impressive for the price — we measured an excellent overall MDAQS score of 4.8. Out of the box, they have a slightly dark tuning, but Sony’s Headphones Connect app lets you fix that with EQ presets or a custom five-band equalizer. Battery life clocks in at over 9 hours per charge based on our tests, and the pill-shaped case is ultra-pocketable. Just don’t expect premium Bluetooth codec support — these only offer SBC and AAC.

While I found the WF-C710N comfortable for long listening sessions, their fit isn’t the most secure. With only three ear tip sizes and no fins or wings, they’re not ideal for workouts, despite the IPX4 water resistance. On the plus side, you still get touch controls, adaptive sound modes, and spatial audio support via Sony 360 Reality Audio (though content is limited). Microphone quality is good enough for calls in most environments, and the lack of wireless charging is forgivable at this price. If you’re after great ANC and solid sound without spending flagship money, the Sony WF-C710N are easy to recommend — especially if you stick to more casual, everyday listening.

Best features on wireless earbuds: JBL Tour Pro 3

The JBL Tour Pro 3 represent a significant leap forward in wireless earbud technology. The standout feature is the Smart Charging Case, which boasts a touchscreen display for easy access to functions like ANC control, EQ settings, and even acts as an audio transmitter for wired sources.

The sound of the JBL Tour Pro 3 is definitely geared toward a more consumer-friendly audience. The earbuds support multiple codecs, including LDAC and LC3, ensuring high-quality audio streaming. While the default sound signature has a slight bass emphasis, the 10-band EQ in the app allows for precise customization.

Due to the large size of the earbuds, comfort may vary, but multiple ear tip options are provided. The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) performs very well, quieting about 83-84% of outside noise.

Overall, the JBL Tour Pro 3 offers a feature-rich package that’s hard to beat, making it an excellent choice for tech enthusiasts who want the most advanced and future-proof earbuds available, though it will cost you a pretty penny.

Best wireless earbuds under $100: CMF Buds 2 Plus

The CMF Buds 2 Plus are a solid value in terms of audio performance, battery life, and personalization features, especially considering their sub-$100 price. With high-resolution LDAC codec support, a refined sound signature, and Smart Adaptive ANC, these earbuds deliver premium experiences at a budget price. The Personal Sound feature, powered by Audiodo, customizes the EQ to your hearing profile, while a refined build and reliable touch controls round out the hardware experience. While the ANC doesn’t quite hit the advertised 50dB reduction, it still performs admirably across a range of environments. The sound quality is also up to par, as the earbuds earn a commendable 4.8 overall score in our MDAQS testing.

However, the CMF Buds 2 Plus stumbles by removing the Smart Dial, a standout feature from the Buds Pro 2 that offered intuitive tactile control. The new lanyard-style dial feels like a downgrade in both form and function, making the Plus version feel less premium despite technical improvements. For existing CMF Buds Pro 2 owners, the upgrade may not be compelling enough unless personalized sound is a must-have. Yet for new buyers, these earbuds set a new benchmark in their price tier, making them an easy recommendation.

How we test wireless earbuds

All objective testing is carried out using our B&K5128 acoustic test head.

Using a dummy head, product designers can test out how audio products will perform for most people — and so do we. We run a number of tests, including frequency response, isolation, and battery life. You can read more about it here and learn more about the specifics.

• For each product, we played several sine sweeps through the earphones. Once we arrived at a representative result, we logged the frequency response, demonstrating the hallmarks of a good acoustic seal.
• To test isolation, we play a sample of shaped noise at 90dB(SPL) (measured at the eardrum), once with the headphones off and another with the headphones on. We then subtract one measurement from the other.
• To test the battery, we use shaped noise and a real-time analyzer to find the setting needed to output consistent audio peaking at 75dB(SPL) from the products. We play our music test track on an infinite loop. This means every result can be directly compared.

These three basic tests cover the biggest areas of concern with wireless earbuds. Remember that your battery life will vary if you tend to crank the volume. Additionally, you could squeak out better isolation performance if you use third-party tips on your earbuds.

The Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro stand out as an exceptional value in the wireless earbud market, offering a wealth of features typically found in more expensive models. These earbuds deliver impressive sound quality that closely follows most listener preferences, with the added benefit of extensive EQ customization options in the companion app. Our testing shows that the ANC reduces low-frequency noise by about 30dB, which is impressive for this price range. The transparency mode is equally effective, allowing for clear conversations without removing the earbuds.

One of the Liberty 4 Pro’s standout features is its companion app, which offers a staggering array of customization options. From personalized sound profiles to adjustable ANC levels and customizable controls, users can tailor the earbuds to their exact preferences. While the unique charging case with its small display and touch controls is an interesting addition, it may be more of a novelty than a practical feature for many users. However, the case does support fast charging, providing up to 4 hours of playback from just a 5-minute charge.

Best wireless earbuds under $200 for iPhone users: Apple AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation

Apple’s fourth-generation AirPods bring ANC technology to the entry-level model for the first time. These earbuds showcase Apple’s prowess in creating a compelling audio experience within an unsealed design, a feat that has challenged many competitors. According to our testing, the ANC blocks about 20dB of noise. In real-life use, this helps block out the sounds of traffic or people talking. The redesigned shape of the AirPods 4 aims to provide a more universal fit, though individual experiences may vary. This is complemented by innovative features like Adaptive Audio, which dynamically blends ANC and Transparency mode based on your environment, and Conversation Awareness, which automatically lowers music volume when you start speaking.

Sound quality is decent for unsealed earbuds, with a relatively balanced profile that may lack some sub-bass due to the open design. The H2 chip enables advanced features like Spatial Audio with head tracking, enhancing the immersive experience for compatible content. iOS users will appreciate the seamless integration with their devices, including fast pairing and easy switching between Apple products. While the AirPods 4 with ANC shine in the Apple ecosystem, they lose significant functionality when paired with non-Apple devices. This, combined with the unsealed design that may not suit all users or situations, are the primary considerations for potential buyers.

The best ANC under $200: Sony WF-C710N

If noise cancellation tops your priority list, the Sony WF-C710N are one of the best-value picks in their price range. In our testing, these earbuds delivered outstanding noise reduction through a combination of snug passive isolation and strong active noise canceling (ANC). The silicone ear tips alone block out up to 40dB of high-frequency noise, while ANC further cuts low-end sounds by 30dB. Together, they reduce ambient noise by an average of 85%, which is rare at this price. Whether you’re on a plane, train, or just dealing with loud roommates, the WF-C710N do a superb job of silencing distractions.

Beyond noise cancellation, these earbuds pack in a lot of practical features. The Sound Connect app gives you control over ANC levels, EQ customization, and Sony’s Adaptive Sound Control, which can adjust settings automatically based on your location and behavior. The battery lasts over 9 hours on a single charge, with more than 30 hours total when including the charging case. They’re IPX4-rated for splash resistance and support Bluetooth 5.3 with SBC and AAC. While the lack of aptX or LDAC might be a downside for Android users, the WF-C710N still sound great—especially after a quick EQ tweak. For under $120, few earbuds match their mix of comfort, battery life, sound customization, and top-tier noise isolation.

The best sound quality under $200: Creative Aurvana Ace Mimi

The Creative Aurvana Ace Mimi earbuds stand out for their incredible sound customization and clarity, thanks to their xMEMS drivers and Mimi sound personalization. These earbuds adapt audio to your specific hearing profile via a built-in hearing test, allowing you to hear details you might be missing otherwise. Out of the box, they deliver a bass-heavy tuning that many casual listeners will enjoy, but the 10-band custom equalizer lets you fine-tune the sound to your taste. Sound quality is top-tier, with an exceptional 4.9 MDAQS score, placing them among the best earbuds we’ve tested. Add in LDAC support, Bluetooth 5.3, and a comfortable, IPX5-rated design, and they’re an impressive package at $129.99.

However, while the sound is superb, noise canceling isn’t the Mimi’s strong suit—it’s decent, but not best-in-class. You still get up to 30dB of noise reduction with ANC and good passive isolation, which is fine for everyday use. Battery life lands at just under 5 hours with ANC on, but the case supports wireless charging and adds up to 28 hours of total playtime. Overall, the Aurvana Ace Mimi deliver a truly tailored experience that makes them easy to recommend.

The most comfortable earbuds under $200: Nothing Ear

The Nothing Ear are extremely comfortable earbuds. Each earbud only weighs 4.6g according to our measurements, and they have a similar build to the popular AirPods Pro 2. Nothing packed the Ear with premium specs like 11mm ceramic drivers that deliver outstanding sound quality with great clarity. The advanced parametric EQ allows you to precisely tune the sound profile to your preferences. You also get support for high-quality LDAC and LHDC Bluetooth codecs.

Despite the low price, the Nothing Ear doesn’t cut corners when it comes to features. Highlights include good active noise cancellation, a superb transparency mode, and around 8 hours of battery life with fast USB-C and wireless charging. The feature-packed companion app provides an advanced EQ, hearing test-based sound personalization, customizable touch controls, and more. You even get a low-latency gaming mode. While the ANC could be stronger, it’s hard to find a better total package for under $200 than the Nothing Ear. You get premium audio quality, tons of features, and a sleek, durable design at an unbeatable value.

The best workout earbuds under $200: Beats Fit Pro

The Beats Fit Pro remain a compelling option for athletes and casual users alike, especially if you switch between Android and iOS. Their standout feature is the secure fit, thanks to flexible wing tips and an ear tip fit test that ensures optimal comfort and sound isolation. They offer solid active noise canceling—though not industry-leading—alongside features like automatic ear detection, spatial audio (on iOS), and onboard button controls. With 6 hours of battery life (ANC on) and an additional 18 hours from the case, they meet the needs of most daily routines. The IPX4 rating makes them suitable for workouts, and the USB-C case charging is a welcome touch.

Where the Beats Fit Pro shine is in their accessibility across ecosystems, thanks to the H1 chip for iPhone users and a full-featured Beats app for Android. The sound profile leans toward bass, making them ideal for workout playlists, although some tracks may lose vocal clarity due to the emphasis. Despite the relatively high price and some inconsistent ANC performance, they’re still among the best workout earbuds for users who need platform flexibility and a secure fit. If you can catch them on sale, they offer great value for a feature-packed, fitness-first true wireless option.

How we choose the best wireless earbuds under $200

We use a Bruel & Kjaer 5128 test head to perform isolation and frequency response tests.

At SoundGuys, we perform objective tests to measure wireless earbuds. In order to do so, we use a Bruel & Kjaer 5128 head and torso simulator (HATS) with an anatomically realistic ear canal and outer ear. Using this test head in our lab, we perform the following tests:

• Sound quality: We use the Multi-Dimensional Audio Quality Score (MDAQS) algorithm from Head Acoustics to rate sound quality on a scale from 1-5 based on the listener preferences of hundreds of listeners. We also measure the frequency response of the earbuds and compare that to our validated SoundGuys Preference Curve.
• Isolation/ANC: To measure isolation performance of the earbuds, we play a 90dB(SPL) shaped noise sample (measured at the eardrum) twice—once without the headphones and once with them on. We then calculate the difference between the two measurements.
• Battery life: To test battery life of wireless earbuds, we use shaped noise and a real-time analyzer to calibrate the volume so the earbuds consistently peak at 75dB(SPL). We then loop our music test track continuously, ensuring all results are directly comparable.

We also use a standardized setup to test the microphone quality of products with pre-recorded phrases from a calibrated artificial mouth in our test chamber. This allows us to present standardized microphone samples to you so you can judge the quality of various products and compare them across the board. After we collect all of this data, we then score each product through a variety of objective and subjective measures.

Our team then confers with one another regarding the best products for a given category, and we present our list to you. It’s not over after we hit “publish,” though. Instead, we treat every article as a living document that we update as new and worthy products come out.
