Best Bluetooth Earbuds for Connectivity (2024)

The clarity is amazing, and these are super loud.

The MW09 earbuds offer amazing sound quality with crystal-clear highs and mids, as well as deep and punchy bass.

Out of the box, I found the bass to be a little too overpowering, especially when listening to rap songs with a booming 808 bass.

The battery life of these devices is 16 hours on a single charge.

This is the longest battery life we have seen on any wireless earbuds so far.

This device offers exceptional battery life, with up to 16 hours on a single charge and a total of 48 hours with the case.

You get three modes of active noise cancellation and three modes of ambient sound.

When you enable active noise cancelling and set it to the maximum, it's able to reduce some sounds by as much as 40 dB.

The noise cancellation is not as effective as that of top-tier models like Sony or Bose.

The weight of the earbuds may cause comfort issues for some.

It comes with a variety of ear tips in both foam and silicone for a customizable fit.

The earbuds are somewhat large and may not fit all users well, especially during physical activities.

I was very happy with the bass response that I got out of these. The vocals were very clear. This is some really rich audio, you guys.

I can't imagine a specific genre of music that wouldn't work well with these.

Some of them have apps that allow you to adjust the frequency response as you wish.

The Beats Fit Pro provides 6 hours of use, with an additional 18 hours from the case, totaling 24 hours.

If you have ANC or transparency mode on, you get six hours per listen and then an additional 21 hours from the charging case.

In five minutes of USB-C fast charging, you get an hour of playback.

Both of these devices feature active noise cancellation and transparency mode.

Active noise cancelling is very good now.

These have a wing tip, which gives you even more security when it comes to staying in your ears.

It does take some getting used to having that wingtip just kind of chill in there. Not gonna lie, it used to tickle at first.

These are arguably going to be the best-sounding Bluetooth earbuds on the market right now.

It supports Snapdragon sound lossless audio, which means you can get 16-bit 44.1 kHz CD-quality sound.

The high end is significantly tamed, resulting in instruments and vocals blending into a mushy, thick smear.

The custom EQ makes me love using the Momentum True Eyes Force more than other earbuds on Android.

The Momentum Fours are rated for 30 hours of total playtime and 7.5 hours per earbud charge.

With fast charge support, about 10 minutes in the case will give you approximately an hour of use with these earbuds.

Battery protection mode ensures that the case and earbuds charge more slowly and do not exceed an 80% charge.

The ANC surprised me. It's not uncommon to use earbuds that claim to have ANC, but they often do a somewhat subpar job.

Adaptive noise cancellation allows it to scale up and down depending on your environment.

ANC is good, but it is not as good as industry leaders like Bose, Sony, and Apple.

The comfort of these is enhanced by the silicone wing tips, which will help keep them in your ears if you're doing anything more dynamic.

The Momentum True Wireless 4S are comfortable but large, making them uncomfortable to lie down on your side with.

These are some of the bulkiest buds that I've tested. As you can see, they are proper full-on ear pebbles.

The mids and highs were not quite as good.

The sound on these is very warm and bassy.

The default EQ here, which is a Soundcore signature EQ, sounds way too bassy and very muddy, causing the vocals to be really drowned out.

SoundCore claims 10 hours of battery life on the earbuds without ANC and 8 hours with ANC.

After our DHRME battery test, we got 10 hours with ANC!

The battery life of these earbuds is eight hours, and it extends to 40 hours with the case.

The NC in the Liberty 4 NC, and the Liberty 4 NC, came in at Tier A, guys!

The active noise cancellation was truly fantastic.

We are not fans of the transparency mode on the Liberty 4 NC.

The Liberty 4 NC has been really comfortable for us.

The comfort of these is really impressive.

The earbuds themselves resemble the classic stem design.

The Sony WF-1000X Mark 5S pumps out premium sound with minimal distortion, thanks to the dynamic driver X Tech and the high-quality DAC.

I really appreciated being able to hear every tiny element of each track I played.

These do sound really good, and they offer a lot of passive isolation.

Sony estimates you'll get around eight hours of use from these buds on a full charge, even with the noise canceling switched on.

You will only get around two full recharges of the buds before the case itself needs to be recharged.

Sony is marketing the WF-1000XM5s as the best noise-canceling true wireless earbuds.

One aspect of the noise cancellation experience on these buds that has been significantly improved is the reduction of wind noise.

They certainly feel really comfortable to wear.

The only minor aspect of their design that I haven't liked is the polished plastic material.

There is also very little distortion at high volumes, and the whole sound profile is very responsive and crisp.

They are literally adjusting the EQ for everything you listen to.

The spatial audio was already pretty good. There's just a bit more of a spread in how far apart the different sounds and instrumentals are.

However, we do know that the new AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C can deliver uncompressed lossless audio wirelessly.

These now have a 33% longer battery life, providing six hours on a single charge with noise cancellation on.

The AirPods Pro have a slightly longer battery life, providing six hours compared to technically five hours and 40 minutes with the second generation.

I'm putting them on the same level as the Sony Mark 4 earbuds.

These have twice as effective adaptive noise canceling and also feature adaptive audio.

Adaptive noise control is supposedly what makes this possible.

There is also a new, extra-small ear tip.

New this year, we've added an extra set, so we now have extra small, small, medium, which comes standard on the AirPods, and of course, large.

One thing that Technics has always done well is ensuring sound quality.

They always manage to provide a very open, spacious type of sound, and it's no different with the AZ80.

The treble is clean, the bass is well-defined, and I feel like these have slightly more punch in terms of bass compared to the AZ-60.

The treble, straight out of the box, isn’t as airy as that of many other buds.

You can expect between five and a half to seven hours of playback from a full charge of these buds.

There's also a fast charging feature that will provide you with around 70 minutes of use with just 15 minutes of charging.

The only downside is that the case doesn’t have a colorblind-friendly LED indicator to show the amount of battery left.

The ANC on the Technics AZ80 is in the same class as that of the first-generation AirPods Pro.

The amount and clarity of ambient noise being let in are just incredible and very much in the same class as the AirPods.

If we had to nitpick, we would say that there is a tiny bit of white noise that you can hear on the AZ80.

The AZ80 stays in my ears much better compared to the AZ-60, which is surprising given their size.

With 7 sizes of tips, the chance of you getting the right fit is pretty high.

The case and buds are well-built, with no flex or creak.

In the default EQ, you get the signature JBL sound, which means that the sound is a little bass-forward.

I actually used the studio EQ, which I felt was really good because it pulls down the bass a little bit.

The sound staging could have been better; it's not very wide-sounding.

The JBL Live Beam 3 has about 5 dB more bass and sub-bass than we believe it should.

I got 9 hours of continuous playback from these buds with ANC and LDAC enabled.

JBL has managed to pack 36 hours of backup power into it.

A quick 10-minute charge of the buds can provide up to 4 hours of additional playback.

The ANC works fairly well, although there is also true adaptive ANC technology that uses four noise-sensing mics.

The ANC is decent, but it's not world-beating; it can attenuate about 75% of outside noise.

They're actually very comfortable to wear and use for my ear type.

You also get an IP55 rating, so workouts are not going to be a problem.

The nozzle may need to be a millimeter longer, or the buds may need to be a millimeter thinner.

I personally think these sound fantastic right out of the box.

They sound as expensive as they actually are.

The PX8s sound measurably better than the PX7S2s.

These are the best-sounding Bowers and Wilkins headphones we have ever listened to.

The battery life is rated at a fantastic and increasingly standard 30 hours.

A 15-minute charge delivers seven hours of playback.

This battery life is by no means class-leading, but it should keep the vast majority of users very happy.

The noise canceling is very, very good.

The transparency mode is pretty good, but it's still not as good as the AirPods Max.

They are reassuringly well-designed, and they are clearly made from very nice materials.

If you combine that with soft leather and plentiful padding, you get a very nice, comfortable pair of headphones.

These are arguably going to be the best-sounding Bluetooth earbuds on the market right now.

It supports Snapdragon sound lossless audio, which means you can get 16-bit 44.1 kHz CD-quality sound.
