Best wireless earbuds for 2021

In the last two years, true wireless earbuds have made quite the leap. There’s no doubt the popularity of Apple’s AirPods helped make these headphones a mainstay, but companies’ ability to offer reliable connectivity, great sound and active noise cancellation (ANC) in an increasingly smaller form factor has hastened widespread adoption. You can also get features that used to be reserved for premium models on mid-range devices. Of course, the popularity means that new earbuds are popping up all the time and the list of options is longer than ever. To help, we’ve compiled the best wireless earbuds you can buy right now, including noteworthy features for each selection.

Don't be afraid to make a top worst list. It's just as interesting

I just want something that isn't going to fall out of my ears after 2 minutes. 😔

It would be helpful to see the brand and model on the screen as you speak about these products.

My biggest gripe with wireless earbuds is the wireless signal stability. I've had the Google Pixel Buds 2 and currently use the Jabra Elite Active 75t and while I really wanted to love both they are plagued with connection issues. They can often be unusable because any little thing can ruin the stability. I had to RMA the Buds 2 and am looking to get an exchange for the 75t buds. I kept thinking it was just my phone, but it happens to all my devices. Also, my Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones do not have this issue.

You just listed all the popular options with their marketing bulletpoints without comparing them.... useless!

Is Sony wf1000xm4 the best one? i'm confused

[isuckatgaming]

Just an idea.. Maybe drop some affiliate links of the product in the description...

Haven’t used a lot of these except for the AirPods and Bose headphones. For the reasons of fitness I took the leap into Jabra 75t and I must say it’s a real good companion with sound quality, comfort (if you can get the right size ear tips) and noise cancellation is decent too.

[jackbarber]

which ones are the best for being able to be head while on the phone to someone?

[Thereddi]

Did you test the Freebuds 4, and why didnt they make the cut if you did?

[djactivator]

I am looking for a pair of wireless buds that will fit right.. I have tried a lot of them, they all fall out on one side, or both sides no matter which size attachment I use

[ichewtoast]

I want to try these out, I’d be really amazed if they were better than my Jabra elite 85t’s.

[bravotango]

Jbl club pro plus is the king not even close. Please make a review on it . Play on the equalizer because it’s the best. The equalizer is like studio quality.

[helenalovelock]

Which ones have the longest ANC on battery life? I’m sick of waking up in the night with the earbuds turning off

[talhayagc]

Does anyone have an idea about xqisit true wireless earbuds, can you recommend them?

[merathe]

Just bought the Bose quiet comfort wireless earbuds. Loving it, rich sound with amazing bass and really good noise cancellation technology. Only con is that it's bulky

[gorillapancake]

I wonder when Sennheiser will release the Momentum True Wireless 3?

[cody]

Would have been nice if you included more than info I could google myself. Like, for example, how does that base sound between models etc… You Even said in the video that you did internal tests and comparisons with all of these earbuds but only mentioned one comparison.

[gnek]

What’s a good suggestion for work earphones? I’m always out on delivery’s and not impressed with AirPods or galaxy buds.

[WillVenusASMR]

Does any of these buds allow the mic feature during livestreams from Instagram etc?
