Best Wireless Headphones For iPhone

A good pair of headphones is essential for an iPhone. With newer phones no longer equipped with audio jacks wireless earbuds are the best choice.

The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) come with better ANC and an IPX4 rating and intuitive control via a touch. They are also great for making calls and come with an included case.

1. Encased Thore V200 Headphones

The Encased Thore V200 is a great pair of headphones that have an Lightning connector as well as an iPhone port. These headphones provide a pleasant listening experience for a reasonable cost. These headphones are easy to fold and pack, unlike many other headphones. They also feature a soft, padded headband to ensure you have a comfortable listening experience for a long time. In addition, the headphones come with a protective case that protects the headphones when they are not being used.

The headphones have a nice design with black and chrome accents that give them a chic modern and contemporary appearance. They are light and comfortable enough to wear for long periods of time. The closed-back ear cups block out some ambient noise, but aren't as effective as a pair of noise-canceling headphones. The left ear cup has an aux port, which can be used to plug in other audio devices. On the right earcup, you'll find controls for power, volume as well as an MicroUSB charging port. We like that these headphones come with an Lightning connector and an iPhone port, we're disappointed that they don't have USB-C support.

The headphones are made for DJs and other professionals in music and are built with high-quality components that will provide a great listening experience. The headphones feature Neodymium drivers that provide high-quality, precise audio. You can hear all the frequencies of your music with these headphones. They feature a huge, diaphragm that provides an excellent bass response.

The Thore V200 headphones feature many of the features as Apple's AirPods. They also come in a small and portable case that can fit easily into your bag. The headphones bose have built-in microphones for taking calls so you can keep in contact with your friends. The headphones have a Lightning connector to connect with your iPhone or iPad. They also come with an adapter so you can use them on older devices. The headphones come with a battery life of about 40 hours, which means you can play your favourite tunes for many hours before you need to recharge.

2. Sony WH-1000XM5 Headphones

Sony's WH1000XM5 headphones are a minor refresh to the flagship over-ears that were launched in 2017. This new pair is minimalistic with a sleek and slim headband, circular earcups and a polished metallic finish. They are comfortable and light enough to wear for a number of hours.

The new model features the same excellent noise cancelling that is enhanced by four beamforming microphones to allow hands-free calls. The location awareness feature is a significant improvement, since it adjusts the sound control settings in the ambient according to the location you're in. If you are sitting still at home, they can change to a subtler noise cancelling level than when you're on the train. They could also play more exterior audio so you're aware of the surroundings while walking around town.

Another option is multipoint that lets you connect your headphones to two devices simultaneously. This is a great feature for those who are looking to listen to music on your laptop while taking calls on your phone simultaneously. Multipoint isn't enabled out of the box however it's simple enough to enable within the Headphones Connect app's System tab. The downside is that once you enable multipoint you lose the ability to use the top-quality Bluetooth LDAC codec.

The Sony WH1000XM5 features the same touch controls as the WH1000XM4's. You can control music playback, as well as make phone calls. You can swipe forward and backwards on the touchpad in order to skip tracks, or reverse to stop and resume playing. The power and volume buttons are located on the right ear cup.

If you own an iPhone you can customize the headphones with Siri commands, and gain access to other features like personal assistants, sleep timer and battery meter. Sony is also offering voice prompts to help you through the headphones' functions however I found they might be too tense for certain users.

The WH1000XM5s battery life is 30 hours when the noise cancelling feature is turned on, which is the same as previous generations. 40 hours when it's off is only a few hours shorter than the other models. The headphones also come with soft carrying case which protects them from dust, scratches impact, and water damage.

3. Shure Aonic 3 In-Ear Headphones

Shure is a name that has been trusted by the audio industry for many years when it comes to professional monitor earphones. Their latest earphones - the Aonic 3, are no exception. These compact, small headphones offer high-quality sound. They are simple to pair with a smartphone or music player. They feature one driver balanced which creates a huge soundstage. They offer excellent noise isolation so you can focus on the music. Although they are a little smaller than their predecessors, they still provide a good fit for most people and are comfortable to wear for long periods for hours.

The Aonic 3's most significant difference from their brethren is their unique design. They're designed to be a modular device that can be connected to a wireless adapter (sold separately). This lets you switch between wireless and cable connections as your needs for listening change. This flexibility is a welcome upgrade to an already superb pair of headphones.

Another notable feature is the Aonic's outstanding equalizer. Shure's 4-band equalizer manual panel is unique to other earphones that only provide preset equalizers. It provides detailed information on frequency of gain, headphones for iPhone bandwidth and frequency for both the high and low shelf bands, as well as two parametric bands. This allows audio professionals to fine tune their audio prior to saving their customized presets. The Aonic 3's headphones are connected via MMCX connectors that face downwards. They can rotate 360 degrees and accommodate a wide range of ear tips, ensuring an appropriate, secure fit for most users. They are also joined to one another with an extremely secure locking snap.

Inside the box, you'll find Aonic 3s, a wired 3.5mm communication cable, and an carrying case. The cable features an audio remote that controls playback and volume, as well as a microphone for hands-free calling. You'll receive a kit that has a variety of sizes and sleeves to customize your Aonic 3. It includes black foam sleeves and gray soft flex sleeves that come in various sizes, from small to large.

4. Sony WF-C500 Wireless Earbuds

The Sony WF-C500 Wireless Earbuds are ideal choice for anyone who wants to experience true wireless headphones without spending a lot of money. They come with a compact charging case and great audio quality. They also sport sleek design, which makes it easy to connect them to smartphones. They are missing some essential features for wireless earbuds like active sound cancellation, and transparency mode.

The earbuds are made from matte plastic. They have a slightly bulky look that funnels down to drivers and are topped off with silicone tips. The earbuds are also IPX4-rated for water resistance, which makes them suitable for cycling or running. They're not as lightweight as other options on our list but they're still compact enough to fit into the pocket of a shirt and are quite comfortable to wear for long-term wear.

Control is handled by the aptX/AAC-compatible Sony Headphones Connect app. You can alter the EQ and set the level of Bluetooth connection quality between audio and latency and let the ear-scanning feature capture images of your ear for customizing the fit, and use Sony's Digital Sound Enhancement Engine for higher-quality files that are lower resolution. You can also change the firmware and track your usage of the earbuds over ear bluetooth headphones time.

The earbuds are controlled by an easy-to-understand system. One tap on the left earbud increases the volume, two taps will skip forward or backwards through a song and three presses will activate your phone's voice assistant. The earbuds aren't equipped with a noise-canceling feature, but they can block out some ambient noises due to the in-ear seal being solid.

The earbuds can play for a period of up to 20 hours, which is a good value for earbuds that are truly wireless. They can be charged from a dead battery in around four hours. They are also compatible with Sony's Fast Fuel charging technology, which allows for quick top-ups when you're running low. The earbuds are also light and comfortable, making them comfortable for long-lasting sessions and the charging case is compact enough to easily slip in pockets on coats.
