The 8 Best Wireless Bluetooth Headphones - Black Friday 2020 Reviews

The best Bluetooth headphones that we've tested are the Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless. These wireless over-ears are well-built, quite comfortable, and have a comprehensive, fairly easy-to-use touch-sensitive control scheme. With an outstanding battery life of just under 38 hours, they should have no trouble lasting you throughout the workweek. They also support multi-device pairing, which is useful if you like to listen to content on your phone and computer.

They have a somewhat bass-heavy default sound profile that should please fans of EDM and hip-hop but may not suit all listeners. Thankfully, you can fine-tune your listening experience with a graphic EQ or audio presets inside their feature-rich Sony | Headphones Connect companion app, which also allows you to remap the function for their 'Custom' button, control their auto-off timer, and play music through a built-in media player. Their ANC system is highly effective and helps them do an outstanding job of filtering out everything from the low rumble of construction equipment or the high-pitched hum of an AC unit.

Unfortunately, their integrated mic provides middling recording quality, making your voice sound thin and muffled. They're also a little on the bulky side, though they do come with a sturdy, hard carrying case to make it easier to transport them around when not in use. They're a highly versatile choice and are a good fit for many different uses.

The best wireless headphones under $200 that we've tested are the Razer Opus. These wireless over-ears are impressively well-built and comfortable enough to wear for hours at a time. They're stable enough to stay in place during light workouts and have a comprehensive control scheme that's easy to use. They supply over 32 hours of continuous playback time, so you shouldn't need to worry about charging them too often either.

Out-of-the-box, they have a very well-balanced sound profile that should suit most types of audio content. That said, if you're the type who likes to fine-tune your listening experience, the companion app gives you access to audio presets and a graphic EQ. These over-ears also have a highly effective ANC system that allows them to filter out a remarkable amount of background noise, from the low-rumble of bus and plane engines to the chatter of nearby coworkers.

Unfortunately, they don't support multi-device pairing, which can be annoying if you want to remain connected to two audio sources at the same time. They're also somewhat bulky, though they do have a sturdy-feeling case to carry them around when not in use. Overall, thanks to their rich feature-set and comfortable, sturdy design, they're also among the best over-ear headphones we've tested.

The best wireless headphones with an earbud design that we’ve tested are the Samsung Galaxy Buds+. They feature a lightweight, high-grade plastic construction and feel quite comfortable. Despite lacking stability fins, they do an impressive job of staying in your ears, even during intense workouts.

Out-of-the-box, these earbuds have a very well-balanced sound profile that's suitable for everything from EDM to audiobooks. If you'd like to personalize your listening experience, their Galaxy Wearable companion app gives you access to a couple of different audio presets. At over 13 hours of continuous playback time, battery life is quite impressive, especially for a pair of truly wireless headphones. Their case supplies an additional full charge, so they should last you a couple of days.

However, their touch-sensitive control scheme takes some time to get used to and may be hard to use if you wear gloves. Their integrated microphone also makes your voice sound thin and muffled, so they aren't the best choice for making phone calls. Minor issues aside, their impressive battery life, well-balanced sound profile, and sturdy build quality help make them some of the best true wireless earbuds we've tested.

The best wireless Bluetooth headphones for working out that we've tested are the Jaybird Tarah Pro. These wireless in-ears are solidly-built and offer a very stable fit, which allows them to stay in your ears even during high-intensity workouts. They're also small enough to be tossed into your pocket or a bag without a second thought.

They offer a well-balanced sound profile out-the-box that should suit whatever type of content you like to listen to at the gym, whether that's audiobooks or EDM tracks. That said, if you're the type who needs a bit of extra bass in your music to stay pumped up, their companion app features audio presets as well as a parametric EQ to help you fine-tune your listening experience. They last more than 13 hours on a single charge, so they should have no trouble lasting you throughout marathon distances.

While they isolate you from a decent amount of ambient noise overall, they do little to filter out sound in the bass range, which may be annoying if you also plan on commuting with these headphones and want to filter out the low rumble of a bus engine. Their in-line mic also struggles to isolate speech from loud background noise. With that said, these are a great option if you're looking for a pair of premium wireless in-ears that can cope with both frequent workout sessions and day-to-day life.

The best wireless Bluetooth headphones that we've tested at a budget price point are the Plantronics BackBeat Go 810. These Bluetooth-enabled over-ears are decently well-built and have an easy-to-use control scheme. They provide over 24 hours of continuous playback time on a single charge, which should be more than enough for a couple of days at work, but they also come with a 1/8" TRS cable for passive audio playback if you run out of charge.

They have a very well-balanced default sound profile that should suit a wide variety of content, from audiobooks to EDM music. That said, their companion app has a couple of EQ presets to customize your listening experience. The app also lets you cycle between different presets for their ANC feature. These headphones support multi-device pairing, which is handy if you want to stay connected to your work computer while streaming music from your phone.

Unfortunately, even with their ANC feature, they block out very little ambient noise in the bass range, which could be disruptive if you wear these over-ears while commuting. They're also somewhat bulky and a bit of a nuisance to carry around when they're not in use. Still, if you're looking for feature-packed over-ears, these are a great value-conscious choice.
