Best Wireless Earbuds of 2025 — Quick Guide Wireless earbuds are the go-to for listening on the move—gym, commute, or at home. They offer comfort, freedom and solid sound without tangled cables. Choosing the right pair means prioritizing what matters most to you: active noise cancellation (ANC), battery life, comfort, or price. Top considerations Fit & design: Semi-open (e.g., AirPods style) vs fully in-ear for better ANC and isolation. Noise cancellation: Great for travel and noisy environments; choose closed-fit buds for the best result. Battery life: Expect ~5 hours on average; check case capacity and wireless charging support. Features: Multipoint Bluetooth, auto-pause, app EQ, touch controls and water resistance (look for IP ratings). Call quality: Many earbuds still sound ‘speakerphone’—check reviews for reliable mic performance. How we test We wear…
