These Baseus earbuds deliver excellent noise cancellation — perfect for keeping you focused, whether you’re on a plane or at the office. They’re small and lightweight, making them comfortable for extended use. Plus, with up to 140 hours of total battery life (with the case) — and quick charging that gives you an hour of playtime from just a three-minute charge — these earbuds are a steal right now.
There’s a reason Senior Tech Writer Rick Broida named them the best budget wireless earbuds out there. They’re just that good.
The Tozo A1 earbuds are tiny, but they pack an audio punch. These lightweight buds are perfect for anyone on the move — whether you’re hitting the gym, commuting or just lounging at home. Their sleek, minimalist design keeps things low-profile while delivering solid sound quality, and they come in a variety of colors.
With up to 6.5 hours of playtime on a single charge and a portable charging case for easy top-ups, the A1s are a budget-friendly choice for a wireless audio upgrade.
These cans come with a whopping 50 hours of battery life that will keep you rocking out over a long weekend. There’s a built-in mic for clear call quality, and you can choose from four different colors until you find a style that best suits you. This price matches their all-time low.
As one fan put it, “The first thing I love about the headphones is the comfort. … Second, they charge crazy fast! … Thirdly, the sound quality is amazing.”

These earbuds have been my go-to for everything from trail running in the mountains to gym sessions and catching up on my latest podcasts while doing dishes. With adaptive noise cancellation that cuts out up to 98% of background noise, they’re perfect for staying in the zone wherever I am. The battery life is incredible — up to 10 hours on a single charge and a whopping 50 hours with the case. They deliver high-quality sound that keeps me motivated, and the comfortable fit means they stay put through any activity.
My favorite feature? The fast-charging. A quick 10-minute charge gives me four hours of listening time, so I never have to worry about forgetting to plug them in overnight.
These Bose earbuds are like having your own personal soundstage, no matter where you are. With Bose’s top-notch noise-cancelling tech, these earbuds let you tune out distractions and focus on your playlist, podcast or phone call.
They offer customizable sound settings so you can personalize your listening experience, up to six hours of battery life and a case that provides quick recharges on the go.
If you love all things Apple, these are the earbuds you want. The AirPods Pro 2 take everything great about the originals and add improved sound quality, active noise cancellation and a more comfortable fit. They’re perfect for staying immersed in music or taking calls on the go, with a battery that gives you up to six hours of listening time per charge — and up to 30 hours with the charging case.
Plus, they’re dust, sweat, and water resistant, so no worries about getting caught in a downpour during your morning run. Seamless connection with all your Apple devices makes switching between your iPhone, iPad and Mac a breeze. For Apple fans, they’re a must-have upgrade.
These Sony headphones aren’t just any old pair of cans — they’re the No. 1 bestselling over-ear headphones on Amazon. With top-tier noise-canceling tech, they let you block out the world and dive into your music, podcasts or calls with clarity.
They boast a solid 30 hours of battery life as well as quick charging (a 10-minute charge will get you five hours of playback), so you won’t be hunting for an outlet mid-listen. And with touch-sensor controls, adjusting volume or skipping tracks is as easy as a tap.
If you’re all in on Apple and want something better than the AirPods Pro 2, the AirPods Max deliver in a big way. These over-ear headphones pack a serious punch with spatial audio, giving listeners a fully immersive sound that feels like they’re right in the middle of the action.
Active noise cancellation keeps out distractions, but when you need to stay aware, just switch to Transparency mode. With up to 20 hours of battery life and plush memory foam ear cushions, these are built for comfort and long listening sessions, buyers say. And, just like with the AirPods Pro 2, switching between devices is smooth and seamless.
