The best earbuds\u2019 smaller physical dimensions used to translate to pretty compromised sound, at least for consumer products\u2014but they\u2019ve made huge strides over the past decade. The same goes for earbud batteries, which have gotten good enough that most popular earbuds have gone entirely wireless.<\/p>\n

There are, of course, trade-offs. Since they\u2019re so tiny, most earbud batteries can still handle only a fraction of the playback time of bulkier headphones. If you\u2019re using earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation, that will run them down even more quickly. But many earbuds these days come with charging cases that typically hold two or three extra charges. You\u2019ll still have to take them out of your ears to recharge them, but at the very least, in situations where you\u2019re going to be away from a power source for long periods of time\u2014like transoceanic flights, say\u2014you won\u2019t be left completely high and dry.<\/p>\n

One benefit of earbuds is that since their rubber or silicone tips squeeze directly into your ear canal, they can help to block out unwanted ambient sound, even without the use of algorithmic Active Noise Cancellation. That means you can listen to music at a lower volume, which will help protect your ears against hearing loss down the line. Most earbuds come with a selection of tips in different sizes and, sometimes, shapes, to help ensure the best fit.<\/p>\n

We spoke to a number of music professionals about the earbuds they use in the studio, at home, in the gym, and on the go. According to them, these are the best earbuds you can buy.<\/p>\n

Bose Quiet Comfort 20 ($249)<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Bose ($129-249)<\/div>\n

For years, noise-cancelling headphones were virtually synonymous with the Bose brand. As the story goes, a thwarted attempt to listen to headphones on a noisy flight gave Dr. Amar Bose his \u201ceureka\u201d moment in 1978, inspiring an invention that would take more than a decade to perfect. Bose released the world\u2019s first noise-reduction headset to the aviation industry in 1989, and introduced its consumer-oriented QuietComfort Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones in 2000; business class has never been the same since. For those who don\u2019t like the feel of over-ear headphones, Bose QuietComfort 20 noise-cancelling in-ear monitors might be the way to go. \u201cOn flights, I still rely on the old standby Bose QuietComfort 20s,\u201d says Portland, Oregon, web developer Matthew McVickar. The molded StayHear+ tips naturally block out noise, while noise-cancelling technology filters out whatever makes its way in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For athletes, Bose SoundSport earbuds offer peak performance without sacrificing sound quality. \u201cI love my Bose SoundSports,\u201d says Melissa Simmons, a former national wrestling champion and current Director of Operations for Women\u2019s Gymnastics at University of Oklahoma. \u201cAs someone who sweats profusely while working out, I\u2019ve never had them cut out like Apple products.\u201d Mexican-born, New York-based producer and music technologist Delia Beatriz, aka Debit, agrees. \u201cThey just feel more resilient than AirPods, but still compact enough, and sweatproof. Overall, they have great, dynamic sound, thick bass, and great isolating technology\u2014they can be an immersive experience, which is the main point of Bluetooth listening.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apple AirPods Pro ($190)<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Apple ($17-190)<\/div>\n

Apple\u2019s designs have come a long way from the stiff, ill-fitting earbuds of yore.<\/p>\n

AirPods Pro, their top-of-the-line wireless earbuds, come with all the key features of Active Noise Cancellation, including Transparency mode, for when you want to focus on the sounds around you, adaptive EQ, and a vent system for pressure equalization. Just as importantly, the improved, customizable fit facilitates noise isolation, allowing you to listen to music at a lower volume, and thus helping to protect against hearing damage. The AirPods Pro have an IPX4 water-resistance rating, which means they can tolerate splashing, and feature Qi-pad wireless charging. More unusual is their compatibility with Spatial Audio, Apple\u2019s simulated surround sound, by which accelerometers in the AirPods pro read the motions of your head, in order to create immersive spatial playback of film and TV audio on certain platforms. All that, and they sound great.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think what Apple does with tiny headphone speakers is incredible,\u201d says Chicago drummer\/producer Spencer Tweedy. \u201cI don\u2019t necessarily like having earbuds in my ears all the time, but I can\u2019t believe how full-ranged and clear AirPods Pro sound. They even have decent low end. I\u2019m completely happy listening to music on AirPods most of the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

These days, even Apple\u2019s standard-issue earbuds have their merits. \u201cThe wired earbuds that you get with the iPhone 11 seem just about right to me,\u201d says Matthew Styles-Harris, mastering engineer at Barcelona\u2019s Horizontal Studios. \u201cNothing stands out as offensive, and they\u2019re quite an easy listen. If my mixes sound wacky on them, I\u2019d better go back to the drawing board.\u201d Babehoven\u2019s Maya Bon and Ryan Albert have a similar opinion. \u201cThese are great to have around to check how your song will sound in a similar listening situation,\u201d Bon advises, for anyone who\u2019s making music as well as listening to it. \u201cWe often listen to music using our generic Apple earbuds and find that it\u2019s a good option for checking the sound of your songs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jabra Elite 65t ($74)<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Jabra ($74-230)<\/div>\n

The GN Group, the parent company of popular Bluetooth headphone maker Jabra, got its start 150 years ago laying telegraph cables between Europe and Asia, so perhaps it\u2019s fitting that the company\u2019s marketing focuses as much on wireless telephony as music.<\/p>\n

The Jabra Elite 65t is the current entry-level model, offering 5 hours of battery life (or up to 15 with the charging case), Bluetooth 5.0, wind noise reduction on calls, and three sizes of molded tips; it\u2019s also rated IP55 waterproof. \u201cI\u2019ve used the Jabra Elite 65t daily for a few years,\u201d says Portland, Oregon, web developer Matthew McVickar. \u201cThey\u2019re considerably cheaper than AirPods and sound great, but the essential difference for me is that you can control volume, track skipping, and the hear-through\u2014which amplifies the outside sound for better environmental awareness\u2014with the on-earbud buttons.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Jabra Elite 75t represents a modest step up in battery life, from 5 hours to 5.5 hours of music or calls (but 24 hours with charging case); it also features Active Noise Cancellation, which the Elite 65t doesn\u2019t. Most importantly for some users, it\u2019s smaller than the 65t, which can make for a better fit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The Jabra Elite 85t makes several improvements, stepping up from four mics to six and from Bluetooth 5.0 to 5.1. While bigger than the 75t and even the 65t, it also boasts the biggest sound of the bunch\u2014at 12mm, its speakers are twice the size of the 65t\u2019s\u2014as well as 11 levels of Active Noise Cancellation, from full ANC to full transparency. With ANC off, Jabra promises 7 hours of music playback, and up to 31 hours with the charging case.<\/p>\n

Shure SE215-CL Sound Isolating Earphones ($99)<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Shure SE215-CL Sound Isolating Earphones ($99) \/ Shure SE425-CL Sound Isolating Earphones ($269)<\/div>\n

Shure made its name making microphones back in the 1930s, and microphones remain a cornerstone of the company\u2019s business. But these days, the American audio equipment maker is just as celebrated for its headsets: Shure\u2019s in-ear monitors, which musicians use to hear themselves and their bandmates in live performance, are industry-standard on stages around the world. The R&D behind those technologies has led to equally celebrated products in the consumer space. While the high-end SE535 Pro ($449) and SE846-CL ($899) cater to professional needs and wallets, the SE215-CL boasts solid quality at a modest price point. Snugly fitting rubber tips are designed to block up to 37 dB of outside noise, contributing to clearer sound at a lower volume; the over-ear design helps the buds stay in place. Leveling up to the SE425-CL gives you dual drivers instead of single, which means one speaker to handle bass frequencies and another to handle mids and highs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was pretty blown away by the SE215-CL,\u201d says Evan Majumdar-Swift, aka the British electronic musician 96 Back. \u201cThey manage to get around the usual uncomfortable and tinny qualities that most earbuds have by isolating outside noise and having a really rich and warm sound. For the cost, they\u2019re by far the best, in my opinion. Perhaps lacking somewhat in the tops but still miles ahead of the grating sound I so often associate with earbuds.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Berlin-based electronic musician and digital marketer David Abravanel likewise praises the SE215-CL\u2019s comfort and \u201clovely balanced sound,\u201d and Debit calls them \u201cthe general winner\u201d as far as earbuds go. \u201cThey have a great sound and are best for performance monitoring, but I listen to work stuff with them. I\u2019ve had two pairs\u2014the first lasted me for like seven years until I lost them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sennheiser Momentum ($149)<\/div>\n

Sennheiser gets rave reviews from music professionals of all stripes: techno DJs, mastering engineers, classical composers. Their studio headphones are ubiquitous everywhere from high-end studios to bedrooms, and models like the HD25 are legendary in DJ booths around the world. The Momentum True Wireless earbuds feature Bluetooth 5.0 with AAC, aptX, and aptX Low Latency codecs. Intelligent control figures pause and restart the music when you remove and reinsert an earbud. \u201cI think the Sennheiser Momentums are the most discreet and comfortable wireless earbuds I\u2019ve come across,\u201d says New York singer-songwriter Ryley Walker. \u201cIncredibly long battery life for commutes or tour-van time. I\u2019m really impressed by the bass response for wacky low-end music\u2014and 3D detail of vocal fry from podcast hosts. Not cheap, but built to last years and years if stored properly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nura Nuratrue ($200)<\/div>\n

Australia\u2019s Nura models their products on a technology that, at least for the moment, is unique among headphone makers. When you first insert a pair of their earbuds (or clamp on their flagship product, the over-ear Nuraphone), the device plays back a series of tones into your ear, then measures the otoacoustic emission that the cochlea produces in response. (It\u2019s a similar process to the hearing tests given to infants.) Nura\u2019s software uses that otoacoustic emission to generate a customized \u201chearing profile\u201d for the user, which adjusts playback according to the physiological particularities of their ears. It\u2019s hard to know how much of that is science and how much is marketing, but what\u2019s undeniable is that by some combination of their technology with active and passive noise cancellation, they\u2019ve achieved remarkably good sound. Their entry-level earbuds, the Nuraloop, make for an excellent workout earphone: The two earbuds are connected via a cable that loops behind your head; the rubber construction and IPX4 sweat-resistance rating are well suited to running or the gym. The active noise cancellation, combined with the passive noise cancellation provided by the multi-sized silicone ear tips, is surprisingly good; \u201csocial mode,\u201d which lets in ambient sound, isn\u2019t great for listening, but it does make for a handy way of listening for traffic nearby if you\u2019re crossing a street. The unit supports Bluetooth 5.0 and aptX HD, for optimal sound quality, and it supports an impressive 16 hours of battery life. And for audiophiles or long-haul passengers, there\u2019s also the option to connect them to a wired audio cable\u2014a nice bonus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

For the full Nura experience in a wireless package, though, the Nuratrue is the way to go. Introduced in the summer of 2021, these true-wireless earbuds deliver astonishingly crisp, dynamic sound in a remarkably svelte package. Like the Nuraloop, they boast both passive and active noise cancellation, Bluetooth 5.0, and aptX, along with the company\u2019s personalized-listening secret sauce. Programmable touch buttons allow you to do things like stop the music, skip tracks, or enable social mode by tapping the earbuds. The batteries hold a charge for six hours, while the carrying case can keep you going with three extra charges, for up to 24 hours of listening before you can plug into a socket. I\u2019m most impressed by the width of the soundstage, the nuance in the details, and the overall fullness of the sound; the bass is deep and rich without being too boomy (and for the bass junkies out there, \u201cimmersion mode\u201d shifts the EQ to the low end), and the fit is comfortable enough that I can wear them for hours without even thinking about it.<\/p>\n

The vast majority of earbuds nestle directly in the ear canal, but AfterShokz conduction headphones follow a considerably different\u2014even counterintuitive\u2014design. \u201cThey\u2019re headphones that sit on the tops of your cheekbones, so your ears are open,\u201d explains New York composer and pianist Kelly Moran. \u201cThey\u2019re good headphones for runners who want to be able to hear ambient sounds and have situational awareness while exercising outdoors so that your ears aren\u2019t completely plugged up. But they\u2019re also incredible performance headphones for musicians. I love wearing bone-conduction headphones if I need to perform to a backing track or metronome. They allow me to hear my backing track audio literally vibrating through my facial bones while keeping my ears open to hear the mix of the room I\u2019m in. Great for people who want to be able to listen to music while keeping your ears open to your surrounding environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Campfire Audio ($199-$1,299)<\/div>\n

Campfire Audio\u2019s IEMs look not unlike something Tony Stark might invent for Iron Man to wear. The Portland, Oregon company\u2019s high standards and restless creative spirit have made them cult favorites among audiophiles. David Abravanel calls their Andromeda \u201ceasily the most advanced listening tools in my arsenal.\u201d\u00a0Stephan Mathieu, an experimental musician and veteran\u00a0mastering engineer\u00a0in Bonn, Germany, agrees. \u201cIt\u2019s a great company, much appreciated by the IEM community. I\u2019d recommend the IO but also the Polaris, which is a serious step up. Both models will last long, since they come in great build quality.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Campfire Audio\u2019s earphones aren\u2019t cheap, but when I visited their headquarters, I got a firsthand look at the reasons they\u2019ve so celebrated: All of their products are 3D printed and hand-assembled right there on the premises. They even wind their own cable. And the designers\u2014led by founder Ken Ball, who initially launched the company as a bespoke audio-cable manufacturer working out of his basement\u2014have a dogged, even obsessive curiosity about the possibilities of earphones. Their expansive product line, which currently numbers nine different earphone models (plus two more custom-fit models for on-stage professionals) reflects not just different price points but also different listening situations. For instance, the Mammoth sports a low-end profile conducive to bass-heavy electronic music and rap, while the similarly priced Holocene favors the kind of detailed highs and midrange that can make all kinds of rock, jazz, and classical truly sing.<\/p>\n

All of their models come with a variety of sizes of silicone ear tips, for maximum passive noise isolation as well as optimum in-ear fidelity. The entry-level models Satsuma (favoring highs and mids) and Honeydew (favoring low end) each feature a single driver in a plastic shell, and the same proprietary Tuned Acoustic Expansion Chamber (T.A.E.C.) technology that gives the sound a natural, open feel. The Holocene and Mammoth both utilize a single custom-tuned driver for highs and two independent drivers for mids and lows, yielding a much more detailed and expansive sound; instead of plastic, the shell is machined from aluminum. (A fun design touch on the Holocene: glow-in-the-dark detailing.) And if you\u2019re in search of the best possible sound and your budget will permit, the Ara delivers the richest, most detailed sound I\u2019ve ever experienced from an earphone. Each titanium-shelled unit features seven<\/em> drivers\u2014two high, one mid, four low. With the Ara, I\u2019ve discovered new nuances from recordings that I\u2019ve been listening to for years, without any sort of fatigue. Using them feels less like passively listening to recorded music than being actively immersed in a shape-shifting world of sound\u2014a hard sensation to explain, but once you\u2019ve experienced it, you\u2019ll know what I mean. They\u2019re a delight, plain and simple.<\/p>\n

Sony XF-1000XM3 ($148)<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Sony XF-1000XM3 ($148)<\/div>\n

Sony\u2019s WH-1000XM4 is one of the most acclaimed wireless headsets out there right now, and the company\u2019s XF-1000XM3 noise-cancelling earbud tries to translate some of that magic to an in-ear package. Dual mics on each earbud capture ambient sound to be filtered out; Sony\u2019s DSEE HX processor upscales compressed files. The battery offers six hours of continuous play with noise-cancelling turned on, plus an additional three charges with the charging case, for up to 24 hours of total play time. Pitchfork\u2019s Matthew Ruiz calls it \u201cthe best sound I\u2019ve ever heard on wireless earbuds. They\u2019re not sweatproof, so not great for working out, but the sound is great, they have comfortable foam inserts, and they use AAC, so they\u2019re good for iPhones. Really, for iPhone users, any Sony Bluetooth headphones are going to be better than most other products, because they use AAC.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

For a cheaper but still impressive product, there\u2019s the WF-XB700, which has been configured to deliver maximum bass, as well as 18 hours of playback, with the attendant charging case nearby. Plus, they\u2019re IPX4 water-resistant, which makes them gym-friendly. \u201cI recently got them to use while playing sports,\u201d says Berlin-based electronic musician Tim Van de Meutter, aka Locked Groove. \u201cFor the price, they\u2019re pretty unbeatable.\u201d<\/p>\n

For listeners interested in digging beyond the usual brands\u2014not to mention digging deeper than the typical pocket\u2014there are all kinds of discoveries to be made. For example: Japanese headphone maker Audio-Technica\u2019s ATH-LS300IS, a triple-driver (low, mid, and high) in-ear headphone made of stainless steel and high-durability resin, which Los Angeles artist manager Zane Landreth discovered while on tour with Devendra Banhart. \u201cWe had a day off in Beijing, and I spent close to half the day at this tiny little headphones stall while the guy there was building braided silver cables. I picked his brain and tested out countless different in-ear drivers and custom cable combinations. It was one of the best shopping experiences I have ever had.\u201d Landreth also recommends the Audeze iSINE 10, whole planar magnetic in-ear (with a design straight out of Spider Man\u2019s jewelry box), which he describes as a \u201c3D hi-fi head drip. Audeze and their planar magnetic diaphragms really make it feel like you are walking around in the song you are listening to, hanging out in the studio while the band is recording.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re going to really go the distance and invest in a top-of-the-line IEM, Abravanel has one more suggestion: \u201cSymbio W ear tips. They\u2019re made by the one guy, Xaba, independently, though they’re now available on Amazon as well as on the Symbio website. Basically it’s silicon tips filled with memory foam. It solves a lot<\/em> of issues for me and gives me the fidelity of silicon tips with the comfort and stability of memory foam.\u201d After all, the best earphones are only as good as their fit.<\/p>\n
