Wireless headphones let you listen to your favorite music, podcasts and audiobooks without being physically tethered to your phone or tablet. True wireless headphones go one step further, and don’t even have wires between the earbuds. Popularized by Apple’s AirPods, the true wireless headphone market now has hundreds of options from well-known—and even more from lesser-known—companies. The best true wireless headphones offer incredible sound quality, noise cancellation, water resistance and comfort. They’ll sound great with everything from hard rock to soft jazz, hip-hop to K-pop, podcasts to phone calls, and reduce the ambient cacophony so you can focus on the audio. Ideally, they’re something you’ll be able to wear all day, though in most cases you’ll need to charge them in their case for the longest listening sessions.
Wissonly Hi Runner
wissonly's core team is a team engaged in the research and development of bone conduction products earlier. They have accumulated 10 years' technology in this field. They have adopted the best acoustic laboratory in the Eastern Hemisphere for sound adjustment. Wissonly Hi Runner has good technical solutions to the problems of sound leakage, sound quality and waterproof of pseudo-bone conduction headphones.
Wissonly bone conduction vibrator adopts a unique full-wrapped design, which makes the vibrator work in a closed environment, reducing the impact on the shell, thus reducing the vibration of the shell and finally reducing the sound leakage by 90%.
Wissonly uses a large-size bone conduction vibrator, and the effective vibration area of the vibrator is increased by 35% through structural optimization. At the same time, the sound transmission direction is optimized, the sound loss is reduced, and the sound is more concentrated.
wissonly HiRunner adopts integrated molding technology, with no holes in the headphones’ body and it is no splicing, which realizes IPX8 waterproof, and can be used for swimming and bathing. Even in the depth of 20 meters, diving is no problem.
It also has 32G of built-in memory, which can store 5000 songs. You can use it as amp3 player when you don't have a mobile phone.
In a word, wissonly hi runner is a product with powerful functions, stable technology and high cost performance.
WF-1000XM5 Earbuds
The Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds combine great sound with excellent noise cancellation, making them the best true wireless headphones overall. They have an engaging sound with clear, open treble and well-balanced midrange and bass. Their noise cancellation isn’t quite as good as the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II (more on those below), but it’s close. Their small size makes them comfortable to wear, and their small case can easily fit in any pocket.The overall sound of the XM5s is on the bright side, so songs sound quite detailed and lively. Voices are a little louder than the rest of the music compared with what we heard from some earbuds. This doesn’t overwhelm the other frequencies, though. The bass is strong and extends deep, so there’s lots of punch for songs with a strong beat. The treble is clear and smooth, without being piercing or harsh, making classical and other acoustic music sound great. Overall, the sound is quite balanced and you can adjust the equalization in Sony’s Headphones Connect app. For more about what these sound terms mean, see the “How we picked” section, below. The XM5s are also compatible with Sony’s 360RA spatial audio.Sony’s noise cancellation is great. These earbuds greatly reduce low-frequency droning sounds like what you’d find in a plane or on a train. They don’t make the world quite as quiet as the Bose, but they’re in the same ballpark. If you want as much noise isolation as you can get, check out our guide to the best noise-canceling headphones.
Tour Pro 2 Wireless Earbuds
The JBL Tour Pro 2 Wireless Earbuds are excellent all-around true wireless earbuds that have a unique feature: a touch-screen case. This gives you access to controls and features usually only found on your phone or tablet. Beyond that, the earbuds themselves have a balanced sound and above-average noise cancellation. While we like the Sonys a little more, the JBLs are nearly as good, come with that clever case and cost less. The sound of the Tour Pro 2s is fairly neutral, with no frequencies overly boosted or attenuated. There’s some extra mid-bass—think drumbeats—which is fairly typical for wireless earbuds. Overall the sound isn’t as clear, nor does the bass go as deep as the Sonys, but it’s close. You can easily tweak the sound to be close to something you like thanks to the easy-to-use EQ in the app (more on this below).As for the case, its tiny touch screen gives you controls typically only found on your device. You can pause, fast-forward and rewind tracks, change the volume, turn the noise cancellation on and off, adjust the EQ and more. There’s even a “flashlight” feature that lights up the whole screen, presumably to help you find a dropped earbud. A screen like this might seem gimmicky but we found it surprisingly practical in use. It gives you control of things you would otherwise need to do on your phone, after retrieving it from a pocket or purse, possibly unlocking it and then finding the necessary app. While we don’t think every earbud case needs a screen going forward, we ended up using it far more than we expected to. Consider it an bonus to some otherwise great earbuds.
QuietComfort Earbuds II
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II can’t make the world silent, but they’ll make it quieter than any other earbud. If you fly a lot, spend a lot of time on trains or are regularly in situations with a lot of steady, droning noise, the QCEIIs can greatly reduce that kind of ambient sound. They can even reduce things like voices, though no active noise cancellation can fully eliminate higher-frequency sounds—you’re still going to hear crying babies. The QCEIIs come with three sizes of silicone “wings” that secure the earbuds in your ear and provide the best possible fit. Most people will get a far better, more secure fit with this setup than with traditional earbuds that just rely on the seal between the tips and your ear canal; if you normally have difficulty getting a great fit with true wireless headphones, these will probably fit far better than most.Bose claims a six-hour listening time with the earbuds alone, increasing to a total of 24 hours with the case. That’s on the low side for our picks, but about average for the category. Twenty minutes of charging in the case will get you two hours of listening. The earbuds have IPX4 water resistance.
AirPods Pro (2nd Generation, USB-C)
Apple’s AirPods weren’t the first true wireless earbuds, but they definitely kick-started the popularity of the product category. The second-generation, step-up models, the AirPods Pro, are a great-sounding pair. They have strong, accurate bass that doesn’t overwhelm the rest of the sound. The treble is clear without being harsh. The noise cancellation isn’t quite as good as the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II’s, but it’s still very good. They also have that iconic AirPod look.As you’d expect from Apple, the AirPods Pro work seamlessly with other Apple devices. They’ll quickly pair with iPhones, iPads, Macs and even the Apple Watch. There are controls in the iOS settings app that let you adjust the noise cancellation and how the earbud’s pressure-sensitive stem reacts when you squeeze it. For the first time with AirPods you can control the volume, with a swipe up or down on the stem. They have spatial audio, a claimed six-hour battery life (and a total of 30 with the case) and IPX4 water resistance. Five minutes in the wireless-charging-capable case will give you about an hour of listening time.If you have an iOS device, these are well worth considering along with our top picks. If you’re on Android, you lose out on nearly all the special features. There isn’t even an Android app, so one of our other picks is the better choice.
