Best Wireless Headphones For iPhone

A pair of good headphones is a must for anyone with an iPhone. Wireless earbuds are now the norm for smartphones which do not have audio connectors.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) feature improved ANC, IPX4 ratings and intuitive control via a touchscreen. They are great for making calls and come with a case.

1. Encased Thore V200 Headphones

The Encased Thore V200 is a great pair of headphones with an Lightning connector as well as an iPhone port. These headphones offer a nice listening experience at a low price. These headphones are simple to fold and carry unlike other headphones. The headphones also feature an padded, soft and comfortable headband that's ideal for long listening sessions. Additionally, the headphones come with a protective case that protects the headphones even when they are not in use.

The headphones have a great look with chrome and black accents that give them a chic modern, contemporary style. These headphones are light and comfortable enough to wear for long durations of time. The earcups are closed back which means they block out some ambient sound however they aren't as effective as noise-canceling headphones. The headphones feature an aux port on the left earcup that is perfect for plugging in other audio devices. On the right earcup, you'll find controls for power and volume, as well as a small door under which is a MicroUSB port for charging. While we like the fact that these headphones have an Lightning connector as well as an iPhone port but we're disappointed that they don't have USB-C support.

The headphones are made for DJs and other music professionals They're made of premium components that will give you an amazing listening experience. The headphones feature Neodymium drivers that provide high-quality, precise audio. You will be able to hear all frequencies of your favorite music with these headphones. They also have a large diaphragm which gives an excellent bass response.

The Thore V200 headphones come with a lot of the same features as Apple's AirPods, including the small, compact case that is easy to put in your bag. The headphones have built-in microphones for taking calls, allowing you to remain in contact with your friends. They also have a Lightning connector that connects to your phone or iPad, and they come with an adapter for using them with older devices. The Headphones Bose boast a remarkable battery life of 40 hours. You can play your favorite tunes for a long time before you have to recharge them.

2. Sony WH-1000XM5 Headphones

Sony's WH1000XM5 headphones are a minor refresh to the flagship over-ears that were introduced in 2017. The new headphones are simple, with slim and sleek headband, earcups with circular designs and a polished metal finish. These are lightweight and comfortable enough to wear for many hours.

The new model comes with the same outstanding noise cancellation, but with four beamforming microphones for hands-free calling. One obvious improvement is location awareness, which adjusts the ambient sound control settings based on the location you're in. If you're sitting at home they may switch to a subtler noise cancelling level than those on the train. They could also add additional outside sound to help you remain alert to your surroundings on walks around town.

Another feature is multipoint that allows you to connect the headphones to two devices simultaneously. This is an excellent feature for those who want to listen music on your laptop while taking a phone call at the same time. Multipoint isn't enabled out of the box, but it's easy enough to enable it in the Headphones Connect app's System tab. There's a downside to this that is that when you enable multipoint, you'll lose the ability to use the top-quality Bluetooth codec LDAC.

The Sony WH1000XM5 comes with the same touch controls as the WH1000XM4s. You can manage music playback, as well as make phone calls. Swipe forward and backwards on the touchpad to skip tracks, or back and forth to pause and restart playback. The right ear cup houses physical buttons for power and volume.

If you have an iPhone you can personalize the headphones with Siri commands. You will also have access to other features, such as personal assistants and a battery meter. Sony has also added voice commands that will direct you through the various functions of the headphones. However, I found them to be a bit chatty for a lot of people.

The WH-1000XM5s' battery lifespan of 30 hours with noise cancellation on matches the previous generation, while 40 hours without it is less than what other brands are offering. The headphones also come with soft carrying case that shields them from scratches, dust impact, and water damage.

3. Shure Aonic 3 In-Ear Headphones

Shure is a brand that has been a trusted name in the audio industry for many years, especially when it comes to professional monitor earphones. Their latest earphones, called the Aonic 3, are no exception. These small, compact earbuds have a great sound quality and are easy to connect to your music player or smartphone. They feature a single balanced driver that produces a large soundstage. They also offer exceptional noise isolation that allows you to focus on the music and not be distracted by. They aren't as big however, they fit most users well and are comfortable for long periods of time.

The Aonic 3 is unique in its design. They are built to be a modular product that can be connected to an adapter for wireless (sold separately). This lets you switch between wireless and cable connections as your listening preferences change. This flexibility is a welcome addition to an already great pair of earphones.

Aonic's equalizer is yet another outstanding feature. Shure's manual equalizer panel is unique to other earphones which only offer preset equalizers. It displays precise information on frequency of gain, bandwidth and frequency for the high and low shelf bands, in addition to two parametric bands. This allows audio professionals to fine-tune their sound before saving their customized presets. The earphones of the Aonic 3 are connected by downward-facing MMCX connectors. They can rotate 360 degrees and can accommodate a variety of ear tips for an easy, secure fit. They are also connected to one another with an extremely secure locking snap.

The Aonic 3s comes with a wired communication cable 3.5mm and a bag for carrying. The cable comes with an audio remote control that controls playback and volume, and a microphone that can make calls hands-free. You'll receive a kit that includes multiple sizes and sleeves that you can customize your Aonic 3. This kit includes black foam sleeves and gray flex sleeves in sizes ranging from small to large.

4. Sony WF-C500 Wireless Earbuds

The Sony WF-C500 Wireless earbuds are a great option for anyone looking to get into true wireless headphones without spending much money. They come with a compact charging case as well as excellent audio quality. They also sport an elegant design, making it easy to pair them with a smartphone. They are missing some essential features that are essential for wireless headphones, such as active sound-canceling and transparency mode.

The earbuds are constructed of matte plastic and have a slightly bulky look that funnels down to drivers topped with silicone tips. The earbuds have an IPX4 rating for water resistance, making them suitable for running or cycling. The earbuds are not as portable as other options, however they can be tucked away in pockets of shirts and are comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

The Sony headphones with noise cancellation Connect App, Headphones Bose which is compatible with aptX/AAC, allows you to control the headphones. This is where you can alter the EQ settings and set the priority for Bluetooth connection quality (between latency and audio quality), let the ear scanning feature take pictures of each ear to allow for personalization of the fit, and then enable Sony's Digital Sound Enhancement Engine to up-convert lower resolution music files. You can also change the firmware and track your usage of the earbuds over time.

The earbuds are controlled by an easy-to-understand system. A single tap on the left earbud will boost the volume. Two presses will allow you to advance or reverse the song. Three presses will activate your phone's voice assistant. Although they don't have an active noise cancellation system however, they can block out certain noises due to a strong in-ear seal.

The earbuds are capable of providing up to 20 hours of playing time which is quite good for a true wireless earbud. The earbuds are rechargeable within four hours after empty and are compatible with Sony Fast Fuel charging technology. The earbuds also have an ultra-lightweight design that makes them comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. The charging case is small enough to fit in the pockets of a coat.
