The 5 Best Wireless Earbuds For iPhone - Summer 2021 Reviews

The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are the best wireless earbuds for iPhone that we've tested. These earbuds have an H1 chip, which allows you to seamlessly pair them with other devices in your Apple ecosystem. They also have a settings interface that's only available on iOS devices, and it offers button mapping as well as ANC control.

These premium headphones have a comfortable and lightweight fit stable enough for moderate physical activity. Although they lack low bass, they have a fairly neutral and versatile sound profile well-suited for a variety of audio content. They're also equipped with an excellent active noise cancelling (ANC) system and can block out the low rumble of bus or plane engines as well as office chatter. They also have over five hours of continuous playback time, and their carrying case holds roughly five additional charges.

Unfortunately, they don't have any sound customization features like an EQ or presets to help you adjust their sound to your liking. Their integrated mic also has a disappointing recording quality, so your voice sounds thin and muffled. That said, these in-ears are sure to please most users looking for iOS-compatible headphones, and they're even among the best truly wireless earbuds that we've tested too.

The best wireless sports earbuds for iPhone that we've tested are the Beats Powerbeats Pro. These in-ears feature a sturdy, lightweight plastic construction and a very stable fit, courtesy of their ear-hook design, which should keep them in place even during intense workout sessions. Their control scheme is also easy to use, so you shouldn't lose your rhythm if you want to adjust while you're out running.

They have a well-balanced sound profile that should suit whatever kind of content you listen to as you work out, whether that's EDM music or an audiobook. They also feature Apple's H1 chip, which allows them to pair quickly and seamlessly with iOS devices. While they don't block out that much ambient noise, that may be helpful if you're running outdoors and want to stay aware of your surroundings. Their continuous battery life of more than 11 hours is great and should last you marathon distances without issue.

Unfortunately, their iOS interface doesn't offer nearly as many customization options as a dedicated companion app, with no audio presets or an EQ to fine-tune your listening experience. Their IPX4 rating is also on the low end for sports headphones and is somewhat disappointing at this price point, though we don't test that feature. Thanks to their comfortable fit and versatile sound profile, they're among the best wireless earbuds for running and working out that we've tested.

The best wireless earbuds for iPhone are the Beats Flex Wireless. These lightweight in-ears have a comfortable, stable fit and are available in a few different bright colors. They have a W1 chip for easy pairing with Apple devices and have low latency with iOS, so you can use them to watch videos or play games on your iPhone.

They have a bass-heavy sound profile that brings a bit of extra thump and rumble to your music, making them especially suitable for fans of genres like EDM and hip-hop. While they don't have an ANC feature, they do a decent job of passively blocking ambient noise like background chatter. They feel well-built enough to withstand some minor drops and bumps without much damage, and while their total battery life of 11 hours is just okay, they recharge in less than an hour and a half, which is quick.

Unfortunately, their companion app doesn't offer any way to customize their sound, like an EQ or presets. Also, they aren't very good at blocking out bass-range noise like a rumbling bus or plane engine. If you're looking for a pair of straightforward in-ears and like a bass-rich sound, they're a solid option.
