Apple’s unique sensor feature paused audio when I removed the earbuds and started it right back up when I reinserted them. Winners: AirPods, Bragi the Headphone Best wireless earbuds: Bluetooth connectivityĪpple AirPods: I had no problem connecting the AirPods to an iPhone 7 Plus, and never experienced any dropouts even when walking between rooms. Once you find the right tips (these come with the best selection), the Elite Sport should fit nicely in all but the smallest ears. Without it, sound quality suffers considerably. They’re also the largest and heaviest of the bunch. Jabra Elite Sport: It’s not that these aren’t comfortable-you’ll just have to work to get a tight seal. Fortunately, the little rubber fin on top does a good job securing these once they’re in your ear. Samsung Gear IconX: The IconX earbuds are also comfortable thanks to their lightweight build, but you’ll have to do a good deal of fiddling to get the right fit. It can be frustrating when you accidentally tap the capacitive touch button while you’re adjusting them. Unlike most traditional in-ear headphones, the Headphone (have I mentioned how awful the name is?) stayed put the moment I inserted them in my ear, never causing any discomfort. Other than the AirPods, you’d be hard-pressed to find another pair of truly wireless headphones this comfortable. Phillip Tracyīragi the Headphone: These are surprisingly comfortable thanks to their slim profile and small nozzles. They also don’t budge no matter how hard I shake or turn my head. ![]() Phillip Tracy Best wireless earbuds: ComfortĪpple AirPods: If you’ve worn the EarPods, you’ll have an idea of how nicely the lightweight AirPods fit. For me, they’re very comfortable, sitting firmly in the ear without putting too much pressure on any single spot. But hey, at least there’s a lime green edition. That’s disappointing considering they’re the most expensive of the bunch and are made by the company that came up with this thing. Jabra Elite Sport: Big, bulky, and lacking any unique design elements, the Jabra are rather bland. ![]() The IconX are available in three snazzy colors: black with yellow accents, white with silver accents, and blue with teal accents. Samsung Gear IconX: These are a good deal smaller than the Jabra Elite and look more natural than the AirPods. The subtle design cues, like the trim around the capacitive touch surface, help them stand out from the uninspired competition. One interesting thing to note: These are the only earbuds without a left (L)/ right (R) indicator. Just don’t expect anyone to stop you on the street. Phillip Tracyīragi the Headphone: The design of these wireless earbuds is about as interesting as their name suggests. They have an edge over the Jabra because of the more ergonomic gramophone design and slimmer profile. Apple simply took the EarPods’ blueprint and stuck a battery where the wire attaches. Here’s how they stack up: Best wireless earbuds: DesignĪpple AirPods: These tiny, delicately curved in-ear headphones are easy on the eyes and would blend right in at a contemporary art museum. The stylish chrome finishes are a nice touch, but there’s no denying how awkward they look when worn, a bit like having an electric toothbrush in your ear. We compared four of the most popular wireless in-ear headphones on the market: Apple AirPods ($160), Bragi the Headphone ($150), Samsung Gear IconX ($200), and Jabra Elite Sport ($250). Fully wireless earbuds are here to stay, and now there’s finally a range of solid products to choose from.
