The 6 Best Wireless Earbuds For iPhone - Summer 2022 Reviews

The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are the best wireless earbuds for iPhone we've tested. These premium and iconic buds are a good deal if you can find them for less than full price. They offer a couple of Apple-centric features, like Siri voice assistance, and they have an H1 chip, making it simple and easy for you to pair them with other iOS devices. Additionally, they support Spatial Audio, a feature that orients compatible audio to follow your head movements, creating a more immersive experience.

These comfortable buds offer versatile overall performance, whether you're commuting to work, exercising at the gym, or plugging away at the office. They have an active noise cancelling (ANC) system that helps block out a great amount of ambient noise, like the low rumble of bus and plane engines. Despite lacking a bit of thumpy low-bass, their fairly neutral sound profile is also well-suited for different audio content. Although their 5.3-hour continuous battery life is a bit short, their carrying case holds roughly five additional charges, and it has a lightning port so that you can charge it up again.

The Apple AirPods (3rd generation) Truly Wireless are the best upper mid-range wireless earbuds for iPhone we've tested. If you want to stay aware of your surroundings without taking out your headphones or pausing your audio, it's worth considering these buds. Unlike the Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless, these earbuds aren't designed to block background sound as they sit outside your ear canal. While they may not be the best choice for noisy commutes, they're well-suited for more casual use. Thanks to their adaptive EQ feature that adjusts your audio based on how the buds fit in your ear, they have a well-balanced and bright sound profile. However, since they have an open-back design, they struggle to create a thumpy low-bass, although you can access some basic settings in your iOS device's Accessibility tab to adjust their sound to your liking.

Beyond sound, these headphones have an H1 chip that lets you easily pair them with other Apple devices. They also have a 6.8-hour continuous battery life, and their carrying case holds roughly five additional charges. Keep in mind that not everyone will find their one-size-fits-all design comfortable, and they don't have volume controls, which is a bit inconvenient.

The best mid-range wireless earbuds for iPhone we've tested are the Jabra Elite 4 Active True Wireless. Although they lack an H1 chip for seamless pairing, these headphones have low latency on iOS devices, ensuring that you're audio and visuals stay in sync when streaming video. They also have a well-balanced sound, making them a solid choice for most audio content. You can fine-tune them to your liking with their companion app's graphic EQ and presets.

These buds have a well-built design certified IP57 for resistance against dust and immersion in water. That said, although they have an ANC system, it doesn't improve much upon the buds' passive isolation capabilities. While they have a hard time blocking out the low rumble of bus and plane engines, they can reduce an outstanding amount of office-related noise like ambient chatter and the high-pitched hum of AC units. With their ANC on, they last almost eight hours continuously, and their carrying case supplies an additional three charges if you need it.

The Beats Flex Wireless are the best earphones for iPhone with a wireless design and at a budget level that we've tested. While they don't have as many features as other picks on this list, they still offer a solid performance worth considering if price is a factor. They come in a few colorways to match your style and have a W1 chip, making it easy to connect them to your other Apple devices. If you like to stream videos, they also have low iOS latency, ensuring your audio and visuals stay in sync.

These in-ears have a neck cable design, so you can wear them around your neck when not in use. Unfortunately, their low price is reflected in their durability, as some users have reported that their units stopped working within a year of purchasing them. Their bass-heavy sound profile is also well-suited for genres like EDM and hip-hop, thanks to their extra thump and boom. However, unlike our mid-range pick, they don't have an EQ to help you adjust their sound.

The Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 are the best wireless earbuds for iPhone with noise cancelling that we've tested. These premium in-ears deliver powerful noise isolation, making them a solid choice for travel or working in a busy office. Even though they don't offer much in terms of Apple-centric features, their adaptive active noise cancelling (ANC) system is the best on this list, and they can block out much of the low rumble of bus engines as well as ambient chatter. With their ANC on, they last over eight hours continuously, and their carrying case holds an additional three charges if you need it. Still, they offer low latency with iOS devices, and their companion app is compatible with iPhones.

Out of the box, they have a bass-heavy sound profile that delivers a touch of extra thump, rumble, and boom. However, unlike the Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless, you can customize their sound to your liking using their app's 3-band graphic EQ and presets. That said, they have a bulky design, and the stability fins can be uncomfortable, depending on the shape of your ears.

The Beats Powerbeats Pro Truly Wireless are the best wireless sports earbuds for iPhone we've tested. Thanks to their ear-hook design, they stay in place during tough runs or workouts at the gym, making them one of the best wireless earbuds for running and working out we've tested. They're also comfortable, well-built, and are rated IPX4 for resistance against water splashes. They last over 11 hours continuously on a single charge, and their carrying case holds roughly one extra charge, which is handy in a pinch.

Thanks to their H1 chip, you can seamlessly pair them with Apple devices like your iPhone. However, they don't support Apple's Spatial Audio or Adaptive EQ, and their companion interface leaves a lot to be desired. Luckily, they have a fairly neutral sound profile, so they're well-suited for different genres.
