Here's a ranking of the top rated products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've also added some key information about the products.
1. Apple AirPods (2nd Gen.)
With the new AirPods, you'll experience wireless headphones in a whole new way. Just take them out of the charger and they're ready to use with your iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, or Mac. With a tap of a finger, you set up the AirPods and they work like magic. They're automatically turned on and always connected. The AirPods even detect when they're in your ears and pause when you take them out. To adjust the volume, change the song, call someone or get directions, say "Hey Siri" and what you want to do. You can wear just one or both AirPods and double-tap to play a track or skip to the next when listening to music or podcasts. AirPods offer 5 hours of playback and 3 hours of talk time per charge. And with a charging case that holds additional charges for 24 hours of playback, they'll keep up with whatever you're doing. Need a quick charge? After just 15 minutes in the charging case, you can listen to 3 hours of music or talk for 2 hours. Controlled by the new Apple H1 chip, AirPods use optical and accelerometry sensors to tell if they're in your ear. The H1 chip automatically routes audio and activates the microphone - whether you use both AirPods or just one. And when you're on the phone or talking to Siri, an additional accelerometer with speech recognition and wavefocused microphones help reduce outside noise and make your voice clearer.
Case can be loaded with a Lightning Connector. Case does not support wireless charging.
2. Sony WH-1000XM4
3. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen.) MagSafe USB-C
The AirPods Pro come with up to 2x better Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency Mode and now Adaptive Audio. This new feature automatically adapts the control of the sound reproduction for you so that you always get the best listening experience in different environments and situations.
With touch control, you can swipe to adjust the volume, press to control media playback and answer or end calls, and press and hold to switch listening modes.
Thanks to active noise cancellation, you can concentrate fully on your music, even in noisy environments: The microphones built into the headphones detect disturbing ambient noise and then generate a corresponding counter-signal, which makes the noise inaudible to your ears. This technology is significantly more effective than the headphones' ability to muffle external noise alone. No matter where you are, block out your surroundings and enjoy your favourite music completely undisturbed!
In-ear headphones are inserted directly into the ear canal. The resulting pressure chamber effect provides a powerful sound experience without you having to turn the music up too loud. This is gentle on your ears and also extends the battery life of your playback device. In addition, in-ear headphones have excellent noise-cancelling properties - so you are much less aware of disturbing ambient noise. Thanks to their compact size, they can be easily stowed away in any trouser pocket, making them the ideal companion when travelling.

5. Apple EarPods
Unlike conventional round earphones, the design of the EarPods is based on the geometry of the ear. That's why they fit more people than any other earpiece.

The EarPods with Lightning Connector have a built-in remote control that lets you adjust volume, control music and video playback, and answer or end calls at the touch of a button.
