The Wyze Buds Pro Truly Wireless are wallet-friendly in-ears with active noise cancelling (ANC). They have a very neutral sound profile out of the box, which makes them versatile enough for most audio content, and they have a well-built design. However, their ANC struggles to block out the low rumble of bus or plane engines. Their 4.4-hour continuous battery life is quite short, and you may need to recharge them throughout your day. On the upside, their carrying case holds roughly three additional charges if you need it.

Our Verdict

0.0
Neutral Sound 

The Wyze Buds Pro are good for neutral sound. They deliver audio very consistently and have a neutral sound profile that's well-suited for a variety of audio content. However, they lack any sound customization features if you want to adjust them to your liking. Their passive soundstage also feels closed-off and as if coming from inside your head.

Pros
  • Stable, breathable design.
  • Consistent audio delivery.
Cons
  • Terrible passive soundstage.
0.0
Commute/Travel 

The Wyze Buds Pro are good for commute and travel. They have a decently comfortable fit and are well-built. Their small and lightweight design makes them easy to take with you on the go. However, while they have ANC, they still struggle to block out the low rumble of bus or plane engines. Their continuous battery life of roughly 4.4 hours may not be enough to get you through long trips without recharging them.

Pros
  • Well-built and rated IPX4 for water resistance.
  • Stable, breathable design.
  • Low leakage at high volumes.
Cons
  • ANC struggles to block out bass-range noise.
  • Sub-par battery performance.
0.0
Sports/Fitness 

The Wyze Buds Pro are great for sports and fitness. Even though they lack stability fins, these in-ears have a lightweight, breathable, and stable design. They're also well-built and are rated IPX4 for water resistance, though we don't currently test for this. Unfortunately, their continuous battery life isn't very long, and they lack volume and track skipping controls.

Pros
  • Well-built and rated IPX4 for water resistance.
  • Stable, breathable design.
Cons
  • Sub-par battery performance.
0.0
Office 

The Wyze Buds Pro are alright for office use. They have a breathable, decently comfortable fit and don't leak too much audio at high volumes. Although their ANC struggles to block out bass-range noise, they do a much better job of reducing office chatter around you. However, they only have a continuous playback time of 4.4 hours, so you may need to recharge them throughout your day.

Pros
  • Well-built and rated IPX4 for water resistance.
  • Low leakage at high volumes.
Cons
  • Sub-par battery performance.
  • No multi-device pairing.
0.0
Wireless Gaming 

The Wyze Buds Pro aren't recommended for wireless gaming. You can only use them via Bluetooth, meaning they aren't compatible with Xbox or PlayStation consoles. While they can connect to Bluetooth-enabled PCs, their high latency may not be suitable for gaming.

0.0
Wired Gaming 

The Wyze Buds Pro are Bluetooth-only headphones, and you can't use them wired.

0.0
Phone Calls 

The Wyze Buds Pro are fair for phone calls. Their integrated mic does a decent job of separating speech from ambient noise, so you should be understandable, even if you're speaking in a moderately noisy environment. However, its recording quality is disappointing, and your voice sounds thin, muffled, and lacking in detail. Even though the headphones have ANC, they also struggle to block out bass-range background noise from car engines.

Pros
  • Decent noise handling.
Cons
  • ANC struggles to block out bass-range noise.

    Wyze Noise-Cancelling Headphones Wireless

    Track

    The Wyze Noise-Cancelling Headphones Wireless and the Wyze Buds Pro Truly Wireless have different strengths, and you may prefer either one. The Noise-Cancelling Headphones are over-ears that are more comfortable, have a significantly better noise isolation performance, and longer-lasting continuous battery life. Their companion app also offers a graphic EQ and presets so that you can adjust their sound to your liking, and you can connect them with up to two devices at a time. However, the Buds Pro are in-ears with a more stable fit. Their sound profile is much more neutral, which some users may prefer, and their integrated mic offers better noise handling performance.

    Apple AirPods Pro

    Track

    The Apple AirPods Pro are better headphones than the Wyze Buds Pro Truly Wireless. The Apple are more comfortable, feel better built, and have a significantly better noise isolation performance. They have a longer continuous battery life, and their H1 chip allows you to seamlessly pair them with other Apple devices. However, the Wyze have a more neutral default sound profile, which some users may prefer.

    TOZO T6 Truly Wireless

    Track

    The Wyze Buds Pro Truly Wireless are slightly better in-ears than the TOZO T6 Truly Wireless. While both headphones are decently comfortable and well-built, the Wyze have a more neutral default sound profile, which some users may prefer, and their battery performance is a bit better. However, the TOZO have a significantly better noise isolation performance, even though they don't have active noise cancelling.

    EarFun Air Pro True Wireless

    Track

    The EarFun Air Pro True Wireless are better in-ears than the Wyze Buds Pro Truly Wireless. The EarFun have a more comfortable fit, their ANC can block out significantly more ambient noise around you, and their battery performance is a lot better. However, you can remap the Wyze's controls using their companion app, and they have a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer.
