EarBuds: Our Best EarBuds for 2020 – Top Ten

Right about now that our ears have started hurting with so much testing during the past weeks, we have compiled a top ten list of best wireless EarBuds available in the market. Wireless headphones have been around for a long time now, but the upsurge in adoption came after Apple’s AirPods launched back in December 2016. We have to give Apple credit for reinventing wireless earbuds; However, there are many other models in the market, giving the AirPods a fierce competition. In compiling this list we have taken special care to highlight the most positive aspect of the earbud that you may find compelling such as Noise Cancelling, Best Sounding, Best for Jogging and Best value earbuds.

If you are an Apple fan, we can confirm that nothing we say about other brands can change your mind, so go ahead and buy them from here.

1. Apple AirPods Pro (Best EarBuds Overall)

It is unthinkable not to give AirPods the top spot simply because the Pro version is even better than the earlier Pods and the sheer sell volume, as well as the massive love people, have for them. Even if we leave all of that, we feel Apple has delivered yet again. For us, the overall features of AirPods outweigh others. They are pricey, but you get an Apple product for spending $50 more than other Ear Pods that follow. It also comes down to what device you own if you own an Apple iPhone, you should look nowhere and buy these. Do they sound magical? Yes, and they fit nicely into your ear even when jogging, with just enough controls to not take your phone out all the time. They are water-resistant with exceptional noise-canceling and superior audio performance.

Our Rating: 4.8

For those who are still deciding or use android you can check out the rest of our list of top ten Best Ear Buds below;

2. Sony WF-1000XM3 True Wireless Earbuds (Best Noise Cancelling)

Yes, it’s Sony, and it packs a punch. It has a sleek design and astounding noise cancellation. If you are looking for ignoring the rest of the world and let your music take over you entirely (something we feel is the real purpose of wireless earbuds), then this is your best bet. Its battery life is better than Apple AirPods (yes, you read it right); with 6 hours of battery life on these earbuds, it is at par with most wireless earbuds in the market. They work with both iOS & Android very well.

The only thing we felt is lacking is it’s after wear look and shape/hold in-ear while running.

Our Rating: 4.7

3. Jabra Elite 75t (Best Sounding EarBuds)

If you crave for the best in the breed audio quality and performance with great battery life, then these Jabra’s are meant for you. Are they better than the earlier 65ts? We’d say yes. An improvement in overall design and fitting, better battery life, and USB-C charging. They work with both iOS & Android very well. We put them in third place because they are not as comfortable and no noise canceling feature but just noise isolation. But man do they have powerful sound so much so that beyond 50% volume, you might end up hurting your ears. With 7.5 hours of battery life, they are indeed one of the best out there. This pair is among the  best sounding earbuds if not “the best sounding”.

Our Rating: 4.6

4. Beats PowerBeats Pro (Best Depth & Bass)

For this price tag, We were expecting more! From Apple’s Beats. Like AirPods they have great features and taps that are very useful and Siri of course. It’s an excellent earphone with impressive audio quality, excellent bass, and a long-lasting battery life of 9 hours. The design and fit for us is not at par with others. We love the matte finish, but it’s a struggle to fit them on your ear, especially if you wear spectacles like me. Once the struggle of putting them on and fixing them in your ear is over, they’ll stay there (even if you are jogging). It has a bulky charging case that we didn’t like, and with same-ish price as Apple AirPods Pro, We’ll choose the AirPods every single time.

Our Rating: 4.4

5. Amazon Echo Buds (Best Value)

If you are looking for great value at an affordable price, then give Echo Buds a try. We feel that it’s a great deal with Alexa voice control, active noise reduction, and above-average audio quality. They work with both iOS & Android very well. With five hours of battery time, they don’t stand out much but offer similar features as expensive earbuds. Echo Buds are not water-resistant and lack finesse when it comes to sound quality. They fit very well in the ear and Alexa is a great assistant with Echo Buds. In an affordable price this pair of buds is another best sounding in our list.

Our Rating: 4.3

 6. 1More Stylish (Best Price)

For just $100, 1More is offering an earbud that’s sleek, long-lasting battery with a great sound. These are probably the most affordable in our list with great features and reasonable punch with good build material. The mic on these earbuds are average at best in a noisy surrounding; they come in many colours, something the competitors should consider. Remember though; they are only sweat-resistant, so don’t wash them after a workout.

Our Rating: 4.0

7. JBL UA True Wireless Flash (Best for Jogging)

If you prefer staying connected with the world around you and not speak too loud under the influence of your earbuds; You should go for earbuds for a single ear. JBL’s UA True Wireless Flash ear buds are great to use during exercise / jogging sessions. Great audio with powerful bass with excellent mic clarity as well as extended battery life check all the boxes for us. However, the audio quality is not excellent and can be improved to deliver an optimal music experience. It comes with a premium subscription for MapMyRun App for jogging, another excellent motivator for runners and athletes.

Our Rating: 3.8

8. Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro (Best Value with Features)

In our experience, these earbuds are a solid proposition with excellent sound quality and long-lasting battery time of 8 hours on a single charge. They stand out from the bunch when it comes to built quality and looks as well as excellent sound. They don’t have active noise cancellation; however, they fit pretty well and give out an excellent sounding experience. If you are looking for great value and have a limited budget, then Anker Earbuds is the right choice.

Our Rating: 3.6

9. Audiophile sound – Master & Dynamic MW07 Plus (Best Style)

If you like a uniquely distinct look that sets you apart from others, then you should check out MW07 Plus earbuds. Mind the price of $239, meaning you’d be buying one of the most expensive earbuds on this list. But go ahead if money is not a problem for you. For us, They check all the boxes when it comes to noise cancellation, great sound, premium build quality, a sleek charging case, and a 10-hour lasting battery. Each earbud has two microphones, so don’t worry about your voice getting there. They fit sometimes and are not very comfortable for everyone.

Our Rating: 3.5

10. Optoma NuForce BE Sport4 (EarBuds – Best for Exercising)

Finishing at a very close No. 10th position is Optoma NuForce Earbuds. We don’t generally rate EarBuds not designed for single-ear use that highly. However, this gadget impressed us a lot with its battery life of 10 hours and excellent audio delivery. They are well designed and lightweight, best for use during jogging, exercising or sports. The sound quality is pretty impressive, as well as its audio isolation capabilities (not noise-canceling). We like these a lot and would recommend them highly for individuals looking for an affordable jogging partner with excellent audio quality.
