Do you know what makes a good wireless headphone? It’s not just fast connectivity that matters but also slick design and superb audio quality. So, we’ve detailed the most comprehensive list of the best wireless headphones released this year.
Some of them count as the most advanced audio devices ever seen and come in various shapes and sizes. You’ll find options that’ll really make your music sing — from chunky, over-ear headphones to the tiniest earbuds.
Wireless Over-ear Headphones
Sony WH-1000XM4
The device comes with DSEE Extreme upscaling, multipoint pairing, auto-play/pause via a built-in sensor, as well as conversational awareness. The only dealbreaker with this one is that it isn’t water-resistant.
Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 400
With a battery life of 20 hours, these Bose headphones offer excellent noise cancelation coupled with a lively, fun sound. The soundstage is balanced well, too. If you use your headphones for phone calls regularly, this is your best bet.
Wireless In-ear Headphones
NuraLoop headphones
Although the device has a stiff neckband that may be troublesome, it’s got ANC and social mode and rich, adaptive audio. The headphones are also sweat-proof and have excellent battery life.
Optoma NuForce BE Sport4
We’d call these practically flawless because the audio is impressive and the design is practical. The ear tips are customized, which makes them ideal for exercising. However, it’s not suitable for one-ear listening.
True Wireless Earbuds
Sony WF-1000XM3 True Wireless Earbuds
These headphones look inconspicuous and have efficient noise cancellation. The design is sleek, and the battery life, decent. But the musicality is where the fun is. However, if you’re sporty, then this may not be the best choice for you.
Airpods Pro
The winning design and fit, improved bass performance, excellent call quality, and effective noise cancellation make these earbuds from Apple a great choice if you are looking for a true-wireless option.
Noise-canceling Headphones
Nuratrue
The device is by far the most customizable set of wireless earbuds you can purchase. The earbuds can be tuned exactly to your ear, the sound is terrific, and the active noise cancellation feature works great. There’s even an app accompanying it that lets you know how well the earbuds fit into your ears. It’s also a cheaper alternative to the Airpods Pro. The only downside is the battery life.
Beats by Dr. Dre
These noise-cancelling headphones have a sturdy yet sleep design, offer great sound (for noise-cancelling headphones), fit snugly, and come with two cords. While they are a little expensive, they’re certainly worth the money.
