And save for the Elite 3, almost all of Jabras recent earbuds have active noise cancellation (ANC), which weve found to be very reliable for blocking out unwanted noise when working or out on a walk. Denon AH-C830NVCW: We enjoyed the mid- and low-frequency musical reproduction, but the highs had several distinct peaks that created a sizzly quality to recordings. You can use either earbud individually if you prefer to keep one ear open, and the six hours of listening time (with ANC on) is typical of completely wireless earbuds. These earbuds can only pair with one device at a time. TCL MoveAudio S600: This set is compatible with Hey Google on Android phones, but not with the Google app on a non-Android phone. The noise cancellation, though mildly improved after the firmware update, is still less than wed hoped for the price. Before you pick up a pair of Jabra earbuds, there are some key things to keep in mind about the entire range. The earbuds are IPX3 rated, which means you can briefly take these out in a drizzle but definitely not to the gym. Both look elegant and are made of high-quality materials. The bass is broadly boosted, giving low notes a quality that fans call immersive but detractors find blurry. The highs have a few notable spikes that make vocals easier to understand, but it also adds a whistle-like quality to the letter s and a sizzling aspect to snare hits.
Weve tested the Sony LinkBuds S and added it to Other good wireless Bluetooth earbuds. However, we found that these earbuds didnt feel as secure in our ears as our picks did, the sound was somewhat blurry in the lower ranges, the hear-through mode had a slight delay and a compressed sound that could be off-putting, and the touch controls were easy to trigger when we were adjusting the earbuds in our ears. Unlike many of the true wireless ANC options available, this 1More pair offers decent reduction in the airplane bandenough to be useful on a plane or the subway. Also, they lack noise cancellation. However, the XM4 has superlative noise isolation, which means that this pair will block distracting high-pitched sounds like voices, baby cries, and dog barks better than the LinkBuds S (and other competition).
Nura NuraLoop: This pair performs a test and creates a hearing profile that adjusts the sound of the earbuds. Headsets for both the open and home office. Were curious to see how this works in practice. For classrooms, flexible teaching and virtual learning. From what weve seen, Apple responded to these issues with prompt replacements of the earbuds themselves, but its still a bummer. It's only designed for calls and can be beneficial for users who want to keep one ear open to hear their surroundings as it doesn't block out almost any background noise. The S600 is very enjoyable to listen to. When we tried to download the app, the Monster site said it was unavailable. The hear-through mode sounded more natural than that of many competitors. And unlike many of those we tested that proved to be buggy and exasperating the longer they were used, the Fit Pro earbuds have delivered solid performance over months of testing.

Though we appreciate that the A-3s earbuds arent assigned a permanent left and right (either bud can be placed in either ear), we wish that these had a higher IP water-resistance rating than 2 (the A-3 is IP52, the 5 relating to dust, and 2 moisture), as the tiny design could easily be dropped. 
Astell & Kern AK-UW100: The big case contains huge earbuds that will only be comfortable on the largest ears. We tested 25 new pairs of wireless earbuds and added them to the Competition section. The included tips dont isolate very well, so although the noise cancellation takes the edge off of the lower-pitched hum of a plane engine, youll still hear the whine of the engine and voices. If that bothers you, Raycon includes three pairs of foam tips, which are more effective. The Mod is available for preorder now. But discerning listeners will notice that there is a harsh edge to high-frequency sounds. This pairs ANC is quite effective, but the physical sound isolation is lacking. At this point, most people have encountered AirPods somewhere, so you pretty much know what youre getting here. The battery life of five hours with ANC enabled (7.5 with ANC off) is a tad lean.

But we wish it had volume controls. The Studio Buds will pair with Android and Apple mobile devices with ease and can support the assistants for both mobile operating systemsbut there is no always listening Siri. The battery life of around six hours (longer if you pause your music occasionally and dont leave the noise cancellation on) is middle-of-the-road, but the combination of quick-charge capabilities and the three full charges provided by the case means that most folks will get through a full day of use with no problems. Bluetooth chips cost money, so wireless earbuds put a portion of your purchase price toward that technology. The active noise cancellation reduces the intensity of sounds like the subway or a lawn mower to a murmur, and the battery life is a solid six hours (with ANC on). If you prefer to tweak the EQ, the Marshall app allows for adjustments. The sonic profile is the characteristic hyped Beats sound (with extra emphasis in the highs and lows that can make consonants and basslines pop a touch more forcefully in the mix), which many people will find exciting, especially for hip-hop and electronic pop. If you need to take calls or meetings, their integrated mic also offers decent overall performance, ensuring that speech sounds clear, even if you're calling from a busy street. The minimal controls only address play/pause and calls, so youll need to keep your music device nearby for everything else.

Picking the right pair of Jabra earbuds has gotten a little more tricky as the lineup has grown. House of Marley Rebel: These earbuds will fit small and medium ears, but larger ear canals will struggle to get a seal. Unfortunately, the voice-activation system can be fussy in windy conditions, so folks who dream of verbally changing tracks while biking or whizzing down a ski slope may be disappointed. We were impressed with the number of features included on this pair for the price, but the performance was less exciting. The buttons are difficult and somewhat uncomfortable to depress, and the microphones make your voice sound distant to callers. Google Pixel Buds A-Series: These true wireless earbuds sound quite good, and the always-listening assistant makes this pair worth considering for people who use Google voice features heavily on their Android devices. The sound had an echo-like quality even when we played acoustic guitar, and the app-based EQ was unable to adequately adjust it. House of Marleys Redemption ANC 2 earbuds represent a true wireless noise-cancelling option and feature six hours of playtime per charge, IPX5 water resistance, and a hear-through mode. We've currently tested 20 Jabra headphones. The noise cancellation is excellent: Though this pair doesnt reduce noise quite as well as our top ANC picks, it does a really good job on sustained, low-pitched sounds. Look no further than the high-quality range at Jabra. These arent massive flaws, but in a competitive field theyre enough to keep these from being a pick. The Free 2 earbuds have the full complement of control options, and the quality of the background-noise-reducing microphones rivals that of earbuds priced at $100 or more. Jabra Elite 4 Active: We love the fit, high water/dust resistance, and controls, but the dual-device connectivity is fussy, the microphone sounds muffled on calls, and the active noise cancellation is middling. Skullcandys Mod true wireless pair includes an impressive amount of features for $60: customizable controls and EQ (hence the name Mod), IP55 dust and water resistance, dual-device connectivity, a seven-hour battery life with quick-charge abilities, and a hear-through mode.

In the case of the Jabra Elite 75t Wireless and Jabra Elite Active 75t Wireless, this feature was added during a firmware update.

Theyre also some of Jabras longest-lasting buds with a rated runtime of eight hours of nonstop listening that matches what weve seen in daily use. The companies that responded to our question about battery life said their devices have about 400 to 500 charge cycles before they start to lose capacity. If you can get a seal, the Push earbuds are comfortable and seem to stay put in the ear well enough. But with the unsealed design, it also has very little bass. It also offers voice-activated Spotify and (most nifty of all) the ability to use the earbud button as a remote to take a picture with your phones camera. Lypertek PurePlay Z3 2.0 (Tevi): These are solid earbuds for under $90. In quiet rooms youll sound very clear, and if you need to take calls on the go, the background-noise reduction technology helps a great deal.

Support content, resources, and contact options, not (pageUrl eq null and supportPageUrl eq null) and attributes/any(a: a eq 'Product_Portfolio|Jabra') and (attributes/all(a: a ne 'Meta_Refurbished|True') or attributes/any(a: a eq 'Meta_Accessorytype|17')). Both also share the Sony app, and although there are a lot of nifty-sounding features in the app, we found it cumbersome to navigate, and most of the options (like location-based scenes) were wonky in use. This set sounds fantastic, with a slightly boosted bass and a good sense of detail in the mids and highswithout the need to fiddle with equalization controls to improve the sound. Although we consider the cases size to be a flaw, a few of our testers preferred the larger casethey said it was easier to find in their bag. The microphone is not wind resistant and is not as clear as your phone handset, but it works well enough in a quiet room.

The Free 2 provides more detail in the high frequencies than many similarly priced earbudsbut there is a big spike in the range of s and t sounds or cymbal crashes, which can be fatiguing to listen to, especially at louder volumes. Even with three EQ options, it cant compete with our picks sonically. The fit is comfortable. Philips Fidelio T1: The charging case is heavy and unnecessarily large, though it has luxurious details like a piece of Scottish leather on the lid.
Android users arent completely left out. Sennheiser CX 400BT: These earbuds have a thick, blocky design that sticks out from your head more than most of the earbuds weve tested. Though the earbuds themselves are diminutive, the metal-and-glass construction means they are a smidge heavier than plastic earbuds. However, for heavy sweating, water-based workouts, or tough mudders, we recommend looking at our guide to workout headphones. Whereas most of the lost-earbud location trackers weve tested are clunky and less than pinpoint accurate, the Find My function on Apple devices is truly stellar. The controls are limited: Play/pause, tracks, and answering calls are always accessible, but you must choose between ANC on/off, Bixby, Spotify, or volume. While the companion app doesn't offer many customization features, you can activate a feature that allows the headset to read out your text messages and emails. You wont get much noise isolation from this pair, and though the A-Series can be customized to adjust the volume automatically when youre in louder or quieter environments, we wouldve gladly traded that feature for more controls. The hear-through function is pretty good, and the noise cancellation performs effectively on sustained low-frequency noises, but the silicone tips dont isolate very well so youll still hear voices and higher-pitched sounds rather clearly. Both sound great and feel comfortable. The downside is that, despite getting 0 dB of hearing adjustment and a sonic preference profile of I-Type: balanced across all the spectrum, I still found that the bass was a bit too boosted into the upper lows and the 5 to 6 kHz range was a bit forward, adding a sizzly quality to the highs. The onboard controls are touch-based, have the tendency to misfire, and lack volume capabilities. If ISOtunes were to add stabilizing wings or foam tips that grip better (and some safety labeling), we could easily see these as a recommendation. The earbuds pair quickly and easily with Apple devices. You can also access features like talk-through or adjust their standby timer. Corded listening is more common in over-ear headphones than wireless earbuds, although our ANC earbud pick, the 1More Dual Driver ANC Pro, is a notable exception. We were able to get these earbuds to sound pretty good using their combination of hearing-test-based EQ and manual adjustments. The Pro also offers more customization, with optional wings, over-ear hooks, a tether cable, and shields that are like little end caps that change the look of the earbuds. Brent measured the TWS/1 for Soundstage Experience, if youre curious to read more. Monolith by Monoprice M-TWE: This pair uses both a hearing test and sound-preference quiz to adapt the sound to your personal needs and likes.
If youve seen how AirTags function, youll be familiar with the process, which is a combination of GPS, Bluetooth proximity, and speaker chirp. The highs can add a twang to piano and a harsh edge to cymbals, but for the price, thats forgivable. If you need to focus, the app provides multiple white noise sounds that can be pre-loaded before a flight. Phiaton Bonobuds: Although the ANC is quite good, this pair has other flaws. The 11-hour battery life per charge is impressive, but the solid battery life and good noise-reduction performance arent enough to make the Plus II a top pick. Even vocals feel like they were recorded too close to the microphone. These buds feature MultiSensor Voice technology, which uses four microphones and a custom sensor to eliminate unwanted background noise (such as wind) while aiming to pick up your voice as clearly as possible. Jabra's active noise cancelling system also tends to only offer a small improvement over the headphones' passive isolation abilities. Aside from the sound, the swipe/touch controls work well enough, but the up and down for volume may cause the earbuds to move in your ears a smidge, and there are no track controls. Plus, the IPX5 water-resistance rating means that a little rain or snow wont cause a short. We listened to both the standard sound profile and the one suggested based on the One Plus Audio ID hearing test; both had extra bass, and we wished there were a manual EQ option to split the difference between the two high-frequency profiles. Large ears may also want to buy XL third-party tips, as the included tips may not seal very large canals. We wished we could split the difference between the bass-bloated standard audio mode and the SoundID mode with recessed male vocals.

We wish this pair had more controls, and were also kinda disappointed that you have to download a separate app on Galaxy phonesusually, seamless connectivity is the entire reason to buy earbuds in the same ecosystem as your mobile device. If you want earbuds with Google or Alexa wake-word capability: Its worth discussing the Sony WF-1000XM4 and Sony LinkBuds S true wireless earbuds together because they share some key features that make each worthy of consideration. An earbud with a stabilizing wing or a hook over the ear is more likely to stay put but doesnt look as sleek. One bummer is that this pair lacks volume controls, which can be a pain if you prefer to keep your phone someplace inaccessible. If you want earbuds in the Samsung ecosystem: For Samsung devotees who want to access all the features their Galaxy device has to offer, the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro earbuds represent the best option available. 
Choose the Jabra Service you want to use.
Helm Audio True Wireless 5.0: This pair had a bloated, smeared bass range that overwhelmed male vocals in our tests, and its control buttons jammed the earbuds uncomfortably into our ears when we pressed them. Although the app has manual EQ, the adjustments consist of three clunky faders that lack the nuance to make changes in a way audio fans would find meaningful.
