Wireless Earphones guide

How to choose wireless earphones

Wireless earphones place miniature drivers inside the ear canal, charge from a portable case, and pair with phones over Bluetooth. The category is dominated by the Apple AirPods Pro, the Sony WF-1000XM5, and the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, with strong contenders from Sennheiser, Jabra, and Technics.

Fit and isolation

Silicone ear tips seal the ear canal and create passive isolation. A correct seal improves bass response and active noise cancellation by 5 to 15 decibels. Most wireless earbuds ship with three to four ear tip sizes. Memory-foam tips improve isolation for users with non-standard ear canals.

Active noise cancellation

ANC in earbuds combines passive isolation from the ear tip with feed-forward and feed-back microphones. The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds and the Sony WF-1000XM5 lead the category in ANC strength. Transparency mode reverses the process and pipes ambient sound through the drivers.

Battery life

Earbud battery life is reported per bud and per case. The Sony WF-1000XM5 plays for 8 hours on a single charge. The case extends total playtime to 24 hours. Quick charge restores one hour of listening from a 5-minute connection on most flagship models.

Codecs and audio quality

LDAC supports up to 990 kbps over Bluetooth, three times the bit rate of SBC. AAC is the default codec for iPhones. aptX Adaptive scales between 280 kbps and 420 kbps based on signal strength. LC3 in Bluetooth LE Audio improves efficiency over older codecs.

Water resistance

An IPX4 rating protects earbuds from sweat and light rain. An IP57 rating protects against full immersion. The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 rates IPX4. The Apple AirPods Pro 2 rate IP54.
