Electronics July 26, 2019 Cameron
Whether you’re looking for a good pair of headphones for working out or just something to wear while drowning out sounds during your commute, not having to fuss with wires is a huge plus. No one wants to worry about the tangle of wires in their pocket or bag, or their cord snagging on something and damaging their headphones. Thankfully, there are some stellar Bluetooth headphones on the market. Here are some of our top picks.
Best Bluetooth Headphones
Jabra Elite 65t
If you like having wireless earbuds for sports activity, we can highly recommend the Jabra Elite 65t. These earbuds fit snugly in most ears, and they have a great sound quality for their small size. The drivers are solid, offering punchy bass, good mid-levels and decent overall sound: while these won’t be beating any dedicated audiophile headphones, they’re good for their price point and size.
A notable draw to the Jabra Elite 65t is their microphones. They work incredibly well as a headset for taking phone calls, doing a great job of filtering out background noise. If you like wearing earbuds while jogging, cycling or other types of activity, this is a great draw. Taking a call while getting in your workout is a great two-in-one feature for busy professionals.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless
If you’re looking for the intersection of portability and sound quality, you’re looking for the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless earbuds. These wireless earbuds offer incredible sound quality and accurate reproduction of recordings. They’re incredibly light: you might even forget they’re in your ears. When you need a good set of earbuds for taking with you on trips or to work and back, these are a great go-to.
While they’re not the best for sports or activity, the Sennheiser earbuds are great for daily activity like walks or commutes. For the person who wants portable wireless earbuds that can be tucked into a pocket but still wants the best sound quality, these physics-defying little earbuds are the best option.
AirPods 2019
The expensive and flashy AirPods are better than their reputation would have you believe. For their high price point, you get a pretty stellar product, as is typical for Apple. If you’re already in the Apple ecosystem, these are a no-brainer. Their intuitive gesture controls allow you to change song, adjust volume and answer calls quickly and without having to pull your phone out.
The 2019 update brings even more useful tricks to the AirPods. They now feature better Siri integration, so you can use your voice to call up the virtual assistant. You can send messages, start playlists and ask for internet searches all while jogging, cleaning or whatever you’re doing while wearing the AirPods. If you love high-tech integration and cool fashion statements, the AirPods are a great pick for you.
PowerBeats Pro
If you love the idea of the AirPods but want a more fitness-oriented set of wireless earbuds, the Beats Powerbeats Pro are for you. The same technology that went into the second generation AirPods is on display in the PowerBeats Pro, just in a more fitness-oriented shape. The over-ear design on display here helps the earphones stay on your ears while your exercise, making them great for any active person.
The sound quality with the PowerBeats pro is excellent, considering their size and price point. They’re a bit more expensive than the average headphones, but their great technology integration and stellar sound quality on phone calls makes them great for fitness-minded users. If you love listening to music while you work out and like the idea of the AirPods, the PowerBeats are perfect for you.
