I test wireless earbuds for a living — here's my top picks for every budget
There are loads of earbuds out there if you're looking for a new pair of wireless companions. From buds that cost as little as $10 all the way up to some incredibly expensive options, there's a pair for everyone. But which would I recommend at each budget? I test earbuds every day as part of my job, so I want help you choose the best wireless earbuds for you. To do that, I've broken down my top picks by budget, taking into consideration design, comfort, controls, audio quality, battery life, special features and more. No matter the money you've got to spend, lets find you some excellent earbuds. The JLab JBuds mini are the perfect way to get some very solid earbuds without breaking the bank. They cost just $39, making them by far some of the cheapest earbuds we've ever tested at Tom's Guide, and they rank amongst the best cheap wireless earbuds thanks to their great value. You can't expect game-changing audio considering they cost less than a tank of gas, but they still sound better than anything else for the price. There are decent highs, reasonable mids, and surprisingly impactful bass for something so small. And small they are. The case comes with a little keyring attachment so that you can keep them on you at all times, and the case is tiny enough that it won't cause issues in your pocket. There's no ANC on board, but the battery life of 5.5 hours is decent considering their size. The truly tiny JBuds Mini are one of the smallest earbud options around, fitting into any pocket you could think of. They sound great for the size and the price, and they won't break the bank thanks to their extremely low price. We love the JBuds Mini overall as a budget option. These might be the best affordable earbuds we've ever tested. They get very close to the WF-1000XM5 when it comes to their performance and noise canceling despite costing less than half the price. I've frequently said that they'd the buds I'd buy with my money — and I stick by that. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. For their $129 price tag you get excellent sound, and some very impressive ANC. When we tested the WF-C710N, we compared them to far more expensive models and they either matched or exceeded their sonic performance. Mighty impressive. But all that pales in comparison to the best part — the transparent blue colorway that you can get them in. It looks like they're made of molten Jolly Ranchers, and I wish that all my earbuds came in a similar hue. The transparent blue WF-C710N might just be our favorite earbuds ever released for under $150. They comfortable, very well priced, and filled with tech that makes them feel like they're worth a whole lot more than you pay for them. Bose are well known for making headphones and earbuds with the best noise canceling, and then offering a slightly cheaper version for those who aren't so rich of blood. The QuietComfort Earbuds are Bose's cheaper pair of earbuds, and they're a great option for the $150-$200 price point. Thanks to their fitting wings and silicon wraparounds they're very comfortable, and the ANC offered blocks loads and loads of noise when you're out and about. The sound is good too, and the touch controls are simple and intuitive. Their battery life is actually better than the more expensive QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, with the buds lasting for 8.5 hours. That's some decent staying power, and plenty to get you through the day. The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds get you great ANC without spending as much as Bose's more expensive earbuds. They have a very comfortable fit, better battery than their more expensive cousins, and they look very fetching in this calm violet colorway. The ever present AirPods Pro 2 remain a top pick for anyone look for solid buds between $200 and $250. They sound good, offer great noise canceling, and they're super easy to use. The best AirPods are a stellar option for iPhone users in particular. They connect to your Apple devices like magic, without needing to dip into any menus or annoying pairing process. It just kind of... works. It's the reason they've got such a prominent place in my rotation, and it makes them a great buy over all. An update to the USB-C version also brought hearing aid functionality, which is a slick bonus. They're rounded out with some impressive Spatial Audio. They're very good buds, and less than their flagship competition. The AirPods Pro 2 might not be the newest AirPods in the world, but they're still a great option for iPhone users. They connect like magic, feature great ANC and sound, and the Spatial Audio on board is very good. Bose and noise canceling go hand in hand, and the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds show off what the brand is capable off. Magical noise canceling is the name of the game here, blocking out just about everything while providing some of the best comfort around. They sound good too, and you can adjust the signature in the app to dial them in to your sonic preferences. I love the little buds — they're actually my go-to when I'm out and about, living pretty much permanently in my pocket. At this price, there is some stiff competition from the Sony WF-1000XM5, but the noise canceling of Bose's buds means they eke out a victory in my mind. If you want the best noise canceling possible, then look no further than the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds. They combine incredible ANC with great comfort for the best buds to buy in their price point. Battery life isn't the best, but their noise canceling sure is. Interestingly, you don't need to spend that much more money to get even better buds. The Noble Fokus Amadeus pack in some wicked noise canceling and a very comfortable fit while showing both Sony and Bose how it's down when it comes to sound quality. There's nothing that sounds this good for less. They have a perfectly balanced sound signature, bringing detail and width to the table. Their personalized sound mode in the Fokus app is very good as well, and makes sure they sound their best no matter your hearing ability. They're not cheap, but then you get them in your ears and you realize why — they're a top notch pair of earbuds that make everything else seem like toys. The Noble Fokus Amadeus are the most expensive buds on my list, but they offer excellent sound that outperforms anything that's similarly priced. They're comfortable too, and the ANC is very good thanks to their selection of flanged tips. Follow Tom's Guide on Google News to get our up-to-date news, how-tos, and reviews in your feeds.

I've tested every pair of Sony earbuds — here's the ones I'd buy with my own money
Sony's extensive selection of earbuds starts all the way down at $50, and works its way up to $299 in a range of different earbud options. I've tried every single one in some capacity or other, and after some careful consideration and a lot of chin scratching, I know exactly which pair I'd take to the checkout. Without any further ado, allow me to re-introduce you to the Sony WF-C710N, my pick for the Sony earbuds that you should really buy. Sony's lowest-priced ANC buds are also some of the best around. They outperform options more than double the price, with loads of battery life, a comfortable fit, and excellent noise canceling. The XM5 might be better, but they're not worth nearly triple the price. I'll admit that I'm very lucky — I get to try out some of the most expensive earbuds and headphones on the planet. I love them, I want them, I covet them, yet, I'd never buy them. They're too much, too expensive and too scary. If I'm going to get something that I can happily take on the train, or the bus, or an intercontinental flight, I want something that doesn't cost too much. But, of course, I also want something that sounds good. I still want to use them, after all. The Sony WF-C710N give me close to exactly what I want for something that I'd actually spend money on. They cost $120. That's half the price of the AirPods Pro 2, $180 less than the flagship Sony WF-1000XM5, and $40 less than the LinkBuds Fit. In my eyes, that's the perfect price for something that forever runs the risk of disappearing into a bus seat, falling out of my pocket, or being sat on because the person next to you on the plane didn't look before placing themselves down. If you want the most features, you can opt for the Sony WF-1000XM5. No one would blame you – they're excellent earbuds with loads of stuff going on under the hood to make them that bit more compelling than the rest of the line. But you don't need any of their really fancy features. The package offered by the WF-C710N is a remarkable one for the price, and it solidifies their place at the top of my Sony earbuds buying list. The WF-C710N have everything you could ever need, and the features they do have work very well indeed. Excellent noise canceling to block out that kid at the back of the bus? Check. Great sound so that Benson Boone sounds his Benson Booniest? Also Check. An app so that you can control everything, including a customizable EQ? Check again, we're in "everything you need" territory now. Sure, the constantly shifting and adjusting ANC of more expensive buds is very impressive, and some of the extra fidelity in sound quality is very nice to have. But then it all comes back to price again. The package offered by the WF-C710N is a remarkable one for the price, and it solidifies their place at the top of my Sony earbuds buying list. The Sony WH-1000XM5 last for 8 hours of playback, and their case boosts that up to 24 hours. That's some good battery life. Thanks, Sony, now I can listen to the entirety of Gojira's From Mars to Sirius a grand total of seven times, and then make my way to Unicorn on my eighth listen. The WF-C710N, despite their lower price, last for 8.5 hours on a charge. That means I can now listen to From Mars to Sirius a total of eight times, all the way through. I'm not very good at math, and even I know that's more times. The case is slimmer than both the LinkBuds Fit and the WF-1000XM5, making it easier to slip them into a pocket when I leave the house. The ANC is on par with the LinkBuds Fit, somehow, and the fit is more comfortable thanks to a lack of fitting wings — although the Fit are better for those looking to exercise. OK, so taking my argument to it's logical conclusion that "I want something cheap for the bus that I won't mind breaking or losing", you could easily assume that the even cheaper WF-C510 might be closer to the top of my list. But that's not the crux of my reasoning behind my slightly more expensive choice. The WF-C510 are a great pair of buds. If you're looking to spend a bit less and still get great sound and comfort, they're a solid in-ear option. But I want something that balances a lower price with sound quality and feature set — and, as Anubis places the buds on his scales in the great deserts of the underworld, the heart and features of the WF-C710N measure perfectly against the feather of their price. So. If if I was to spend my actual money on a pair of Sony's earbuds right now, it's not going to be the top of the range kings or the budget heroes — it's the buds that are only middle of the road in terms of price. Because everything else makes them a very tempting in-ear option indeed. Follow Tom's Guide on Google News to get our up-to-date news, how-tos, and reviews in your feeds.
