Headphone Reviews

Which noise-canceling true wireless buds are the best? We think the more appropriate pre-purchase consideration is which noise-canceling true wireless bud attributes work the best for your specific requirements. That's because each of the models reviewed above sport attributes designed to meet certain needs.

Our test only included buds that deliver above-average sonics, noise-canceling, and ambient sound modes, so those features are a given. Beyond that, buds with exceptional sonics such as the 1More and Sony WF-1000XM3 lack any weather or sweat protection and so are best suited for platinum-eared indoor cats. Conversely, buds equipped with environmental protections and a firm fit buds such as the Audio-Technica Quiet ATH-ANC300TW and the Jabra 75t are more suitable for active outdoors types.

If you're older and starting to develop hearing loss, are out and about for lengthy periods of time, exclusively use an iPhone, or are on a strict budget, then those needs should largely drive which noise-canceling true wireless bud attributes you consider.  Thankfully, no matter what your needs, there's a bud here that will meet your social-isolating music-listening requirements.
