The 5 Best Wireless Earbuds For iPhone - Fall 2019
Reviews

The best wireless earbuds for iPhone that we've tested so far are the Apple AirPods Pro. These truly wireless in-ears have a premium, well-made feel, and utilize the H1 chip for seamless pairing to your Apple devices. They're among the most comfortable in-ear headphones we've tested to date, and even without stability fins are incredibly stable and shouldn't move around in your ear, making them a good choice to use while working out.

These headphones are well-suited to use for your daily commute thanks to their very good noise isolation. Their ANC performance is one of the best that we've tested on earbuds, and does an excellent job at blocking out both the low engine rumbles of a bus or train, as well as background chatter in the office. While their sound profile is a little bass-light, their sound reproduction is impressive overall and should be well-suited for most genres of music.

Unfortunately, these wireless earbuds don't have a very good microphone and the person on the other end of the line may have a difficult time hearing you if you're in a noisy environment. They also lack many customization options, only allowing you to toggle ANC or transparency mode on/off or choosing which earbud activates Siri; those on Android have no customization at all. Overall, these are a very versatile and well-rounded pair of wireless earbuds that are suitable for a variety of situations, making them a great companion to your iPhone.

If you want a pair of wireless earbuds to help you stay motivated at the gym, go for the Beats Powerbeats Pro. Their ear-hook design provides a comfortable, stable, and breathable fit which makes them a great choice for using during workouts. They utilize Apple's H1 chip which allows seamless pairing to your Apple devices, meaning you don't need to fuss around with Bluetooth settings to connect them. They have a sleek and stylish design which feels premium and well-built, and they're rated IPX4 for sweat and water resistance, though this isn't something we currently test.

They have a surprisingly well-balanced sound profile with an almost perfect bass-range that isn't overpowering, making them well-suited for a wide variety of music genres and content. Their 11.5-hour battery life is the best we've seen in truly wireless headphones so far, and should easily get you through a day of work and even a visit to the gym after. On top of that, they only take around 45 minutes to fully charge, which is impressive.

Unfortunately, their noise isolation performance is quite poor, so they don't do a very good job at keeping you from getting distracted in a busy gym or blocking out engine noises during your daily commute. On the upside, those who run on busy streets may appreciate being able to stay aware of their surroundings while wearing them. Overall, though, their well-built design, impressive battery life, and great sound reproduction makes them a solid choice for anyone looking for a new pair of wireless earbuds for working out.

The best wireless earbuds for iPhone users in the budget category are the Anker SoundBuds Curve. They have a sporty look and a stable ear-hook design that comes with 6 tip options to ensure a perfect fit. The tips don’t enter as far into the ear canal as other in-ear headphones do, which relieves a bit of the pressure some people feel with in-ears. Their sound reproduction is much better than the Apple AirPods 2 Truly Wireless 2019 for a fraction of the cost and are the best cheap wireless earbuds we’ve tested so far.

They pack a lot of bass while still sounding very well-balanced overall. Their battery provides nearly 13 hours of playback on a single charge, which is quite good for budget earbuds. They also isolate more noise than the Beats Powerbeats Pro, though not nearly as much as the Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless.

Like the Jaybird Tarah Pro Wireless, the Anker don’t have Apple’s H1 chip for easy pairing. They also don’t have a power-saving feature, so they need to be shut off when not in use or else the battery will continue to drain. That said, they're the best earbuds for iPhone users and they offer great value for the price.
