-Sony WF-1000XM4

Industry leading active noise cancelling earbuds.

Many consider the new Sony WF-1000XM4 to be some of the best true wireless earbuds right now (despite their terrible name). A big part of that is the amazing active noise canceling these earbuds have, and unlike their predecessor, they finally get IPX4 water-resistance. Plus, their 8 hours of battery life without the case and up to 16 hours with the case isn't bad at all. On the more negative side of things, we found their sound to be a bit flat out of the box, but you can EQ it via the Sony Headphones Connect to make it perfect for yourself. The stereo separation and bass are great nonetheless. For more details, check out our Sony WF-1000XM4 review.

-Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2

Affordable wireless earbuds with great battery life.

Anker is known for making products that give you excellent bang for your buck and the Soundcore Liberty Air 2 are no exception. They will last you 7 hours on a single battery charge, with 3 additional charges ready and waiting in the case for a total of 28 hours of playback time. With Bluetooth 5 you'll also enjoy a stable and fast connection. The only thing this pair is missing is the big brand name, but if you don't care about that, you won't go wrong by getting these. The Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 are among the best wireless earbuds under $50.

-Apple AirPods and AirPods 2

Among the best all-around wireless earbuds for casual music listening.

Even though they've been out for quite a while now, Apple's AirPods remain one of the best all-around wireless solutions for casual music listeners. Sure, they're not perfect, but the combination between their price, exceptional audio quality, intuitiveness when it comes to their setup, and battery life, makes them something you should consider if you're in the market for a truly wireless pair. The design may not be for everyone, especially for those looking for a workout buddy, but they're no doubt unmistakable when worn. For casual music listening, they're more that ideal for the occasion! If you want to learn more about them, check our Apple AirPods review.

-Samsung Galaxy Buds Live

Unique "open" earbuds design, quality sound, ANC.

The Galaxy Buds Live deserve to be on this list even if it's mainly for their unique design and good bass. After all, most people wear their earbuds in public so it's worth having something good-looking in your ears. Are bean-shaped earbuds the best choice for everyone? Probably not, but many will find them appealing. Luckily, the design isn't all that the Buds Live have going for them. They also sound good and have active noise cancellation. However, these lack the soft tips that help separate the outside noise, so some people might not get the best fit and seal from them. If you'd like to learn more about these earbuds, check out our Galaxy Buds Live review. In terms of battery life, you get up to 5.5 hours on a single charge and if you use their charging case, you'll get about 19 hours of playback time with ANC off.
