A perennial problem for many music lovers is the selection of quality headphones. Most models fail after a few months: the wire gets confused or breaks, the quality of the speakers becomes worse - and often this does not depend on the high cost of the accessory. Fortunately, technology has leaped forward and wireless models have already hit the market. Therefore, we have compiled all the best wireless headphones into a single list. Now it will be easier to make a bargain purchase!
Best Vacuum Wireless Headphones
Designed specifically for those who want to immerse themselves in music and not hear the surrounding noise at all. Due to its design, the earbuds adhere tightly to the auricle, forming a vacuum, albeit not ideal, but nevertheless. And the absence of wires prevents the accessory from getting tangled and out of order. It is from such convenient and compact devices that the rating of bluetooth headphones in 2019 consists.
6 Onkyo W800BTB
In-ear dynamic headphones with 8.6mm driver are the perfect companion for running, walking or traveling. They do not have wires - synchronization is provided by Bluetooth of the fourth generation (the signal is received from a distance of up to 10 meters). But the gadget comes with a neat case and a pair of replaceable silicone tips.
The ergonomics are thought out in such a way as to combine excellent sound quality and ease of use. The only drawback of the model is that at first the headphones will seem unusually large. But the sound is powerful here: the emphasis is on the bass, although the mid and high frequencies are also not left out.
5 Beats BeatsX Wireless
In the TOP of wireless headphones, you can't do without new items from Beats. The company is known for its excellent gadgets for music lovers, combining convenience and great sound. The gadget consists of two blocks connected by a flexible jumper. The design pleasantly surprises with its reliability, but this model should be used with caution when playing sports - unfortunately, there is no sweat protection, and the mount is not the strongest. However, for walking around the city, playing games, watching movies, BeastX Wireless will be almost the best option. Sound quality directly depends on the type of file: however, even an untrained listener will notice the emphasis on low frequencies.
The earbuds are easy to charge and have a battery life of up to 8 hours. Includes a Lightning cable for syncing with other devices.
4 Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear Wireless
The fourth place in the ranking is the Sennheiser gadget for the attention of the developers to the details. You can feel it right from the first use - a comfortable collar design, quality leather trim and reliable branded details.
Dynamic, rich and detailed sound can be compared to premium professional devices. Unlike other models in the rating, the owner of the fourth place boasts a pronounced midrange (although the bass will not let you down).
Convenience of use is ensured by well-thought-out ergonomics: all control elements are grouped on the left side, so that at any time you can switch the track, change the volume.
3 Huawei AM61
New from Huawei - model AM61 - is really versatile. The form factor allows you to use the headset not only for watching movies or listening to music in transport, but also for sports. The earbuds, connected by a flexible cable, are securely fixed in the ears: they are not afraid of active movement.
However, in the pursuit of convenience, you don't have to sacrifice sound quality. The balanced frequencies provide great music or movie soundtracks. However, there are also disadvantages - extraneous noises are heard. They even distract from conversation (this model has a built-in microphone).
Among the advantages of the device, it is worth noting the support of two devices. The headset can be connected not only to a smartphone, but also to a laptop.
2 Meizu EP52
The Meizu wireless headset with microphone is an excellent combination of price and quality. Headphones from the budget segment received not a budget package at all: here there is a case, and four pairs of removable silicone pads, and a USB charging cable.
The range of supported frequencies is quite wide - from 20 to 20,000 Hz. Responsible for sound quality is Qualcomm's aptX technology, which delivers excellent treble and deep, rich bass.
A full charge is enough for a decent 8 hours - you can take the headset for a walk or workout. By the way, the case is protected according to the IPX5 standard: the headphones are not afraid of moisture and dust, although they will not be able to swim in them.
1 Samsung EO-BG950 U Flex
The novelty from Samsung went on sale simultaneously with the flagships S8 and S8 +. The engineers had one task - to combine all the best practices and release the perfect headset at a reasonable cost.
The device works without recharging for a record 10 hours, and it works perfectly. A large volume reserve and a wide frequency range will delight any music lover, and the ergonomics will appeal to those who are always on the move. The location of the "weights" inside the case has changed, so that the novelty is better centered and does not fly off when running or walking. The device can be connected to two devices at once (although the model is made under the Samsung brand, synchronization is possible with the iPhone).
Another advantage of the model is the support for voice control. If you synchronize the device with a smartphone of the same manufacturer and install a special program, you can make a voice note and launch the desired application - the built-in microphone will help in all this.
Best wireless earbuds
The compact and comfortable earbuds became the favorites of many music lovers almost immediately after their release on the market. Due to their design, they completely isolate the owner from extraneous sounds, creating the feeling of real music around, not recorded on a smartphone. But what are the best wireless earbuds to buy? We have selected three of the most convenient and powerful options.
3 JBl T205BT
The novelty from JBL rightfully gets the title of one of the best headsets for sports and relaxation. Flexible jumper keeps the headphones in one position - you can play sports with your favorite tracks. By the way, the jumper is designed in such a way as not to get tangled and not to form knots, so that the headphones are not afraid of carrying them in your pocket. The control is intuitive, and the work without recharging is long, up to 6 hours.
In addition, the company's engineers have provided the device with a couple of necessary options. The gadget implements the functions of calls: the user can answer an incoming call with just one press of the control button.
JBL Pure Bass Sound technology delivers deep, rich bass. The 12.5 mm speaker conveys all the nuances of sound.
The JBL headset is designed for creative people who are not afraid of self-expression - there are as many as five colors in the line.
2 Apple AirPods
The world-famous branded model from Apple deservedly gets into the TOP of 2019 Bluetooth headphones. Elegant design, well-thought-out ergonomics and long battery life - all this is in the new product.
The model received a proven form factor from its wired predecessor: the headphones will be comfortable for everyone, regardless of gender and age. The built-in microphone is conveniently located in the "legs" of the headset, thanks to which the user gets excellent hearing when talking on a smartphone.
The sound remained at its best: individual frequencies are perfectly felt, and there is an automatic adjustment depending on the genre of music.
Like many modern headsets, AirPods received touch control: with just a couple of taps, you can call the voice assistant and remotely work with applications on your smartphone.
1 Google Pixel Buds
The wireless headset from Google has a very original design, a set of smart options and high sound quality. Large earbuds fit everything - the ear fit can be adjusted to your liking. Although this design decision can be considered controversial, but not the smallest speakers are hidden inside the large headphones: excellent bass, mids and highs are provided.
Perhaps the only drawback of the gadget is the ability to sync with far from all smartphones or tablets. The headset only supports new devices with Android 5.0 or iOs 10 operating system.
Best on-ear headphones
A wireless on-ear headset - almost ideal for listening to music at home or on the go. They fit snugly to the ears, do not fall off, please with a bright design and a variety of colors. However, in order for such headphones to please their owner for a long time, it is important to choose the right model. We will tell you about the best wireless headphones - budget and premium - in the rating.
6 Plantronics BackBeat PRO
The first generation Plantronics headset offers the user great performance for little money. The headphones can be adjusted in size, so that the device will always sit comfortably on your head.
The proprietary sound technology guarantees clear low frequencies, slightly smeared highs (apparently, the noise reduction system affects). However, an excellent volume reserve and a whole range of smart "chips" neutralize this small drawback.
On the headphones there are control buttons (switching the volume, tracks), and connectors for connecting a 3.5 mm cable. The sensors automatically turn off Bluetooth when syncing via a cable and pause the track if the headphones are removed.
5 JBL T450BT
The owner of the fifth place in the rating will delight its owner with its compact size, light weight and increased battery life. Despite its small size, a powerful battery is hidden inside the case. The headphones can work without recharging for 11 hours.
There, in one of the cups, there is a built-in microphone - the user can listen to music and talk on the phone. The connection is always carried out via Bluetooth 4.0.
There is no need to worry about the sound quality: JBL has been developing devices for music for many years. The headphones are manufactured in accordance with all modern technologies. Inside there are large 32mm speakers. Judging by the powerful low frequencies, the device is perfect for listening to electric music.
Conclusion
Thanks to this TOP, the problem of confusing, failing headphones will surely be solved. As you can see from the 2019 Bluetooth headphone sound quality rating, it doesn't have to be a bargain purchase. A reliable accessory can be purchased inexpensively. The main thing is to know which brands and models to pay attention to.
Very decent bluetooth on-ear headphones that got into our rating thanks to the elaborate bass. The device works using Bluetooth 4.0 technology. At the same time, there is no support for advanced profiles like AptX, so the sound to the headphones is by no means in perfect quality. However, the buyer may not notice this, especially if he listens to music in MP3 format.
The overhead form factor allowed the creators to introduce a sufficiently capacious battery. As a result, you can listen to music in the JBL T450BT for up to eleven hours! Full charge time here is two hours, which is also a very good result. Also, one cannot fail to note the presence of a microphone here, which allows you to talk to the interlocutor without taking your smartphone out of your pocket.
There are at least three color options for wireless headphones on sale. The cost of the device starts at 2400 rubles.
Advantages
There are different color options;
Bass is felt very well;
Loud noise;
Not the longest charging time;
Long battery life;
There is a microphone;
disadvantages
They press on the ears - you won't listen to music for a long time;
The audio cable cannot be connected.
No rating of inexpensive headphones can do without products under the Philips brand. In particular, one cannot fail to note the model marked SHB4405. These are on-ear, closed-back headphones with a very thin headband. The product looks quite fragile, but it sounds very good. And there is also a microphone that makes a full-fledged headset out of the device.
The wireless technology used here is Bluetooth 4.1 - a version that will not become obsolete for many years to come. From a full charge, the device will sound for about eight to nine hours. In the future, it will take two hours to charge. Interestingly, these are almost the only wireless headphones with a removable battery.
In general, the headphones fully justify their cost, which does not exceed 2200 rubles. Only the number of color options can confuse buyers - only white and black headphones can be found in stores.
Advantages
Applied neodymium magnets;
The microphone is not forgotten;
Relatively fast charging;
The battery can be changed;
disadvantages
Fragile construction;
Audio cable connection is not possible.
The Japanese know a lot about sound, so it's a pity that Sony products usually have a fairly serious markup. Fortunately, the MDR-ZX220BT wireless headphones regularly hit all kinds of sales, where you can buy them for literally 2,500 rubles. For that kind of money, this is a great option! It is simply impossible to find a Bluetooth headset with an NFC chip cheaper. However, the device got into the rating from Expertology not because of the presence of the latter. We liked the look of the accessory, as well as the minimal weight for such a design. The sound quality is also impressive - it is clear that the Japanese tried to squeeze all the juices out of the cheapest design.
Of course, these wireless headphones cannot be called ideal. The manufacturer saved on the battery - its capacity is enough for about eight hours of sound, and even then not at full volume. Also, the Japanese did not implement support for the wired mode of operation. The charging time of 2.5 hours is also somewhat disappointing. Nevertheless, if you are ready to put up with the above disadvantages, then you will definitely like wireless headphones!
Advantages
There is a microphone;
Good working range;
Applied neodymium magnets;
Decent sound quality;
Weight does not exceed 130 g;
Reliable construction;
Everyone should like the design;
disadvantages
Long charging time;
The volume cannot be called high;
There is no way to connect an audio cord;
Not the longest running time;
Best in-ear wireless headphones in terms of price-performance ratio
These wireless headphones have already been discussed in the pages of the Internet magazine Expertology. Then it was mentioned that the product keeps well in the ears thanks to the kind of "spacers". But this is far from the only advantage of this model. Much more important is the fact that it is protected from water. This allows you to use the headset during sports activities when the body is actively sweating. It is also slightly surprising that such a tiny product contains an NFC chip, which significantly speeds up the process of synchronization with a smartphone.
Otherwise, these are typical wireless "earplugs" connected to each other by a flexible neck cord. The weight of the accessory does not exceed 23 g, it is almost not felt on the body during training. Charging time is typical two hours, which is good news.
Advantages
Comfortable neck lanyard;
Outstanding sound quality;
Built-in NFC;
Can be connected to two devices at the same time;
Short charging time;
Have a microphone;
disadvantages
Not the best soundproofing;
The cost reaches 14 thousand rubles.
Another rather expensive wireless plugs. But they also fully justify their cost. And even not so much because of the ease of use, but because of the sound quality. This is one of the few vacuum headphones in our ranking that has support for the AptX codec. If a smartphone can work with the corresponding profile, then the sound will be very impressive! Another undoubted advantage of the accessory is the operating time from one charge, reaching in some cases ten hours. And the device also supports fast charging - this process takes only an hour and a half.
The set with wireless headphones comes not only with four pairs of interchangeable ear pads, but also a case that makes it easy to carry such a headset. It should be noted that there is NFC under the casing - synchronization with it is carried out in a couple of seconds. In a word, it is extremely difficult to find any flaws in the device. In their reviews, people only complain about the decent size of the accessory.
Advantages
Great sounding especially when using the AptX codec;
There is support for Multipoint;
Very short charging time;
Seven to ten hours of battery life;
There is a microphone;
Built-in NFC;
disadvantages
The headset is not small;
Not everyone agrees to pay 11 thousand rubles.
Only one color option;
Even wireless headphones have a cable in many cases. In the previous models considered, it was a fairly thick necklace. If it would annoy you, then it is better to consider buying the Sony MDR-XB80BS. There is also a neck lace, but much longer and thinner. During training, it practically ceases to be felt. And playing sports in such headphones is a pleasure. You don't have to worry about sweat, as it will definitely not harm the product with protection from water.
Four color options of the device have gone on sale. In all cases, the earbuds are equipped with a mount, thanks to which the headset literally hangs on the ears. It may seem inconvenient at first, but you get used to it quickly enough. The accessory comes with four pairs of interchangeable ear pads and a small case. In a word, a very good set from the Japanese company Sony. And it costs quite inexpensively - they ask for 9 thousand rubles for wireless headphones, which is a typical price tag for high-quality sports headsets.
Advantages
Charging time does not exceed 2 hours;
Four color options;
Convenient use;
There is a microphone;
Wide range of reproducible frequencies;
The body of the device is protected from water;
disadvantages
The playing time is far from ideal;
No NFC and no support for modern codecs.
Best Wireless Bluetooth In-Ear Headphones
Oddly enough, wireless in-ear headphones have become quite a rare phenomenon lately. At least somehow this direction is now being developed only by Apple. But such headphones are very convenient in many cases. For example, when riding a bicycle, "plugs" will not work - they will not allow you to hear the shout of a pedestrian or the signal of an approaching vehicle in time. This is why the Apple giant needs to be thanked for creating the AirPods.
This headset is completely wire-free. This, of course, threatens the loss of one of the headphones. However, with careful use, such a disaster will definitely not threaten you. We must not forget that the headphones are not put in a pocket, but in a special case, which is a full-fledged charger. The headset itself plays for five hours. But if you regularly put it in the aforementioned case, then the duration of the work increases to exactly one day!
You can talk about Apple AirPods for a very long time. These wireless earbuds are tiny and barely felt in your ears. The minimum weight prevents them from falling out. Also, special technologies are introduced here - for example, when you take out one of the headphones, the music is immediately paused. If there was still support for modern digital codecs - the headset would be a fabulous acquisition!
Of course, AirPods also have a flaw that is typical of Apple products. Only iPhone and iPad owners should buy it. Paired with the "android" headphones will not refuse to work, but the functionality will be very much curtailed. Also, not everyone will like the cost, which varies from 11 to 13 thousand rubles.
Advantages
Miniature size and negligible weight;
Quick access to Siri.
There is a microphone;
Unique features are available to iPhone owners;
The kit includes a charging case;
Reliable construction;
disadvantages
Not the best option for Android owners.
Already much less expensive wireless in-ear headphones. The cost, which does not exceed 4 thousand rubles, is explained by a simplified design. It can be seen that the Japanese did not invent anything new this time. However, the headset would not have made it to our rating if it hadn't had anything interesting in store.
Firstly, the product has an NFC chip, which is extremely atypical for an accessory with such a price. Secondly, there is protection from water. This means that you can ride a bike in such headphones, actively sweating. Not afraid of the device and falling into the rain. Thirdly, the manufacturer has introduced an active noise reduction system here. She, of course, will not cope with the hum of an airplane or sounds in the subway, but street noise is successfully damped.
What should the buyer be warned about? Perhaps, only about the size of the accessory. The neckband does its job - it can interfere with someone, and it is not very convenient to put such a headset in a pocket. However, such a cheap Bluetooth headset must also have other drawbacks - they will be mentioned below.
Advantages
Implemented protection against water;
Multipoint function implemented;
High build quality;
Have a microphone;
Built-in NFC chip;
disadvantages
Incorrect display of the charge level;
Many have received a poor quality microphone;
Small radius of action;
Not the highest volume;
At the time of release, these wireless headphones were very good. People loved the neckband, which was very thin and flexible. Such an accessory can be easily wrinkled by putting it in your pocket. Also, no one really complained about the design of the liners themselves. Their position is conveniently adjustable, while the music does not drown out all the surrounding sounds, which is ideal for sports. There is also protection from water, just as nothing bad can be said about the quality of the microphone.
But why are we talking about the headset in the past tense? The fact is that the product is no longer produced. In stores, you can now find only leftovers from warehouses. Plantronics BackBeat FIT has one big problem. These headphones received a short-lived battery. After about six months or a year, it sits down to zero, after which it is simply impossible to charge it. And it is precisely this period that the headphones have already been in the warehouse for sure. They also have a weak power controller - it can burn out if you connect a charger with a high amperage to the headset. Of course, in case of problems, you can easily get your money back using the guarantee. But do you need it? Nevertheless, the earbuds deserve their place in the ranking, as none of the competitors offer anything of the kind so far.
Advantages
Relatively low cost (5 thousand rubles);
Many color options;
There is a microphone;
Sufficiently long battery life;
Maximum flexible and compact design;
There is protection against water;
disadvantages
Bluetooth 3.0 is used;
Soundproofing is almost completely absent;
Low bass level;
The remaining copies have a huge percentage of defects;
Best on-ear Bluetooth headphones
Very expensive on-ear headphones sold in our country for about 16 thousand rubles. They are distinguished by their compact size and stylish appearance. They also got into our rating due to the presence of three color options at once - this is rarely seen in this price segment.
It should be noted that the headphones are not oversized. This means that they cannot protect the user from external noise. Nevertheless, they try to do this through the active noise cancellation system. It works relatively well, it is not without reason that you can find as many as four microphones on the device.
Wireless headphones have support for the AptX codec. But if one is not supported by your smartphone, do not worry too much. It is not necessary to use Bluetooth for signal transmission. At any time, you can connect your portable gadget to your headphones via a traditional audio cable. This can be done even if the battery of the accessory has simply run out.
In short, it is almost ideal for both indoor and outdoor use! If only the cost had not been so impressive ...
Advantages
Nice design;
Very good sound quality;
Built-in NFC chip;
Can be connected to a sound source with a cable;
There is a microphone;
Solid active noise cancellation system;
There is support for the AptX codec;
Weight does not exceed 210 g;
disadvantages
High price;
Inconvenient controls;
The spoken microphone is not of the best quality;
Excellent wireless headphones that have been around for at least three years. Here the buyer will find a corporate design, complemented by a robust design. Initially, the product seems oversized. But in reality, the earbuds are close to a compact form factor. Their weight is 213 g - this is the optimal parameter so that the head does not get tired from such headphones for a long time.
The device includes two microphones. This allowed the creators to implement a decent active noise cancellation system. However, you should not expect an ideal result - somewhere in the plane, external sounds will be muffled only partially. Another thing to note is the possibility of connecting an audio cable. This is very important, because the battery can run out at the most inopportune moment. Another important feature is the support for the digital codec AptX. However, it would be strange not to see such a mark in the characteristics of headphones sold for 18-19 thousand rubles.
Advantages
Stylish design;
High quality sound;
There is support for AptX;
An active noise cancellation system has been introduced;
Have a microphone;
Connection of an audio cord is possible;
Not the largest size and weight;
disadvantages
- Very high cost.
Excellent headphones, the cups of which are made of a rough and pleasant to the touch material. They are connected to each other not only by a soft arch covered with leather, but also by a spiral wire. In a word, there is no doubt in such a design - you can break the headphones either on purpose, or by dropping them out of the window of a high-rise building.
As befits wireless headphones for 15 thousand rubles, there is support for the AptX codec. If you have an old smartphone, and you want to listen to music in the best quality, you can use a wired connection. Also, with the help of such headphones, you can stream and communicate with interlocutors - for these purposes, there are two microphones. But most of all, the product surprises with a very long battery life. The manufacturer himself claims 30 hours! It is clear that in reality the result is smaller, but it can amaze many readers of this rating.
Advantages
The earbuds come with a comfortable case;
Reliable construction;
Excellent sound quality;
A convenient twisted cord is used;
Very long working time;
An audio cable can be connected;
Implemented support for AptX;
There are two microphones;
disadvantages
The cost cannot be called low;
Large ears will not cover completely.
Best full-size Bluetooth headphones
Usually expensive wireless earbuds delight with exquisite design. The Sony WH-1000XM2 is not. Yes, high quality plastic is used here, very pleasant to the touch. But from the product for 25 thousand rubles. waiting for something more, something amazing. However, much more important is the fact that the device sits comfortably on the head. Also, one cannot fail to note the gorgeous sound quality. It is possible that the range of reproducible frequencies extended to 4-40,000 Hz has some merit in this.
It was Sony who invented the AptX digital codec, so you shouldn't be surprised to find support for it. Moreover, the headphones and the signal encoded in AptX HD "understand". But to appreciate all this, you need to listen not to MP3, but to FLAC music. And a smartphone needs a corresponding one. If you don't have one at hand, then you can use an audio cable. When you connect it, the battery charge is also spent. However, you shouldn't worry about this - the headphones can sound in Bluetooth mode for up to thirty hours. But the charging time here is also long - about four hours.
This accessory also got into our rating due to the presence of smart functions. If you install a special application on your smartphone, the sound will be adjusted automatically. It is difficult to explain in words, you need to try such a function in practice. And the model also pleases with adaptation to atmospheric pressure (it plays its role in the aircraft) and personal optimization of noise reduction.
Advantages
There is a microphone;
There is an NFC chip;
Headphones adapt to different atmospheric pressure;
An active noise cancellation system has been implemented;
Convenient and not very heavy construction;
Support for AptX and AptX HD;
Very long battery life;
Can be connected using a cable;
disadvantages
Many will not be able to afford it;
Long charge;
Ergonomics will not suit everyone;
There are accidental presses of the touch control panel.
Extra large wireless headphones that almost completely hide external noise. Unlike the models we have considered above, it does not use Bluetooth, but a special radio channel. Because of this, the device comes with a dedicated base powered by two AAA batteries. The exact time of its operation depends on the capacity of the installed batteries or accumulators. As for the headphones themselves, a 600 mAh battery is installed inside them, a full charge of which is enough for about 24 hours of sound. Surprisingly, with such a battery, the headphones do not weigh very much - only 226 g.
What is a special radio channel for? Everything is very simple. Its support allows you to connect the product wirelessly, even to those devices that do not have a Bluetooth module. Most often, such headphones are connected to the simplest TVs - for this you just need to insert the wire from the base into the jack for traditional wired headphones. The radio channel used here also outperforms the "blue tooth" in terms of range - here it reaches 20 meters.
Advantages
Good sound insulation;
The price tag is around 8 thousand rubles.
The docking station is very small;
Long range of action;
Excellent sound quality;
Not the greatest weight;
Decent battery life
Can be connected to devices without Bluetooth module;
disadvantages
Wired connection is not possible;
There is no microphone.
Excellent full-size headphones that can last from a single charge up to twenty hours. They got into our rating due to their many characteristics. In particular, it is one of the few headsets that interacts almost perfectly with the iPhone. Also, it can simultaneously connect to two devices at once. Synchronization is very fast, especially if the device has an NFC chip. The creators should also be commended for introducing an active noise cancellation system that works with two microphones.
It's nice that these headphones can be connected to audio equipment using a cable. But more often than not, this feature is not required. Even if the battery runs out - just 15 minutes of charging is enough for 2.5 hours of subsequent work! Finally, nothing bad can be said about the sound quality. Here, the manufacturer squeezed absolutely everything out of the design used. However, no wonder, because these headphones are sold for 23 thousand rubles.
Advantages
There is NFC support;
There are practically no complaints about the sound;
The earbuds come with a neat case;
Built-in support for Multipoint function;
There is a microphone;
There is an active noise cancellation system;
Long working time and fast charging;
Wired connection possible;
disadvantages
Very high cost;
Overly sleek cable plug.
Externally simple enough headphones, which in fact are not. Unlike cheaper wireless models, there is active noise cancellation here. But the product surprises even more because of its design. The fact is that there are two drivers in each cup. Each of them is sharpened strictly for its own frequency range. There is no doubt that this is what makes it possible to distinguish between almost every instrument when listening to music.
This accessory can also please thanks to the support of AptX. Synchronization with a smartphone is accelerated by NFC. However, it seems that headphones will be used much more often in wired mode, since there is a possibility of connecting a cable here.
Unfortunately, the headphones also have disadvantages. The most important of these is the 340 gram weight. The Bluetooth headphones are quite heavy, which makes it ideal for home use only.
Advantages
There is NFC;
There is support for the Multipoint function;
Supplied with a case;
Long battery life;
Active noise cancellation system available;
There is a microphone;
Two-driver design;
There is support for AptX;
disadvantages
Large weight;
Headphones aren't cheap.
Conclusion
In fact, this is not a complete list of very good wireless headphones. Now the assortment of such devices is incredibly large - in some stores you can find hundreds of different models. Nevertheless, we tried to select exactly those accessories, the purchase of which will not disappoint at all. Now you just have to decide on the form factor and cost.
Attention! This rating is subjective, does not constitute an advertisement and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

There are hundreds of pairs in stores, with prices ranging from 199 to over 30,000 rubles. And there's no obvious way to tell how good they are: no megapixels, no inches to count (and realizing that bigger isn't always better). The question is, which headphones are worth investing your hard-earned money into?

# 2 - Apple AirPods
Price: 12000 rubles 
Bestteller and one of the leaders in our rating. Apple has once again amazed the market with its creation - AirPods fully justify their price. The in-ear headphones fit perfectly in your ears for great sound. They open up especially well at medium frequencies, where AirPods have practically no competitors. The noise cancellation of the headphones is at the highest level, thanks to which it is possible to listen to music comfortably even in the noisiest places. Each of the headphones is equipped with a special microphone, and the system itself determines which one is better to use for speech transmission. Thanks to the sensors, the music automatically stops when the earbud is pulled out of the ear.
Of course, the developers gave preference to the audience with gadgets from Apple. Owners of Android devices will have to settle for slightly poorer audio quality, as the SBC protocol has a bandwidth that is lower than Apple's A2DP. However, AirPods are without a doubt the best wireless earbuds currently available on the market. ...
# 1 - CGPods 5.0
Price: 4 500 rubles
CaseGuru has released new, advanced TWS headphones of excellent quality, worthy of our rating of wireless headphones. This is a new, improved model of CGPods Bluetooth headphones. 
The key advantages of CGPods 5.0 headphones are undoubtedly high-quality and smooth sound (more about it below), and full (and not "clipped" or unstable, like in budget Chinese brands) Bluetooth 5.0 capabilities. And also rare in headphones of this class - water resistance. Which is not, by the way, and more expensive brands and models, including "Apple" headphones. Plus - premium materials of increased strength. For example, a fancy charger case made of durable aircraft-grade aluminum, with a clever twist lock. Such a lock is guaranteed to protect the case from sudden opening at the wrong moment - and will keep the headphones clean so that dirt and crumbs from pockets or bags do not get inside. Plus, this case is lightweight and durable, and offers 3 charges for a total of up to 13 hours. The built-in batteries of the earbuds hold a charge for 4 hours - in total, the CGPods 5.0 are capable of working 17 hours without an outlet. Among inexpensive headphones, such indicators are record-breaking. No other model lasts longer from the battery. 
Light weight, compact size - the headphones are almost invisible in the ear, do not restrict movement. Ears are comfortable, spacers made of soft hypoallergenic silicone (removable, an additional set of spacers is included in the delivery set) hold the earphone firmly and comfortably - so that it will not fall out even after a powerful workout or dancing until you drop. Sound: the sound is very high quality, surround, "panoramic". Thick bass and excellent sound insulation from external sounds - which, coupled with the waterproof model of the model, makes the CGPods 5.0 almost ideal model for training with increased noise and increased sweating. 
CGPods 5.0 provide clear voice transmission in both directions, without clutter and "roll-off". Finally, both CGPods 5.0 can work autonomously as a separate headset. In fact, it turns out - two headsets for the price of one.
As a result, CGPods 5.0 are three times cheaper than premium headphones from Apple, they run on almost the same battery, and the sound quality is almost comparable. Better than any Chinese headphones, not much more expensive, but the sound quality is actually premium. 
Brand direct warranty for CGPods 5.0 - 1 year and hassle-free exchange in case of malfunction.
Wireless headphones are getting cheaper every year. It is no longer a problem to find good devices with good sound for little money.

Apple's earphones are not the company's first product in the world of wireless technology. The first device, the iPhone bluetooth headset, saw the light of day with the introduction of the iPhone 2G. And the delay of almost 10 years between two similar devices suggests that the company was waiting for the moment when they could present the consumer with something really useful. The appearance of Apple AirPods is associated with the refusal of the Cupertino company from the 3.5mm jack in the iPhone 7. But the focus on Apple products does not exclude the fact that the headphones can easily be connected to smartphones running on the Android operating system. The main difference between Apple AirPods is incredible compactness.
Advantages and disadvantages:
- A microphone is built into each earpiece. During a conversation on the phone, extraneous noises disappear, sound clarity is at a height
- Carrying case with built-in rechargeable battery allows you to charge your headphones on the go
- Fast charging, battery life - 5 hours
- No cable at all and incredibly compact. Headset weight only 4 grams
- ICloud sync. Just connect the headphones to your smartphone, and they will be able to automatically connect to any of your Apple devices
- The main disadvantage of the headset is the price. Headphones cannot compete in technical equipment with the Samsung Gear IconX, but they cost significantly more.

There is active noise cancellation, which helps a lot on the plane, but is ineffective on the subway. Wireless transmission is via Bluetooth and NFC. Another bonus is the ability to listen to music via a cable to save battery power.
The sound is pleasant. High sensitivity (103 dB), the widest frequency range (7–40,000 Hz), large membrane diameter (40 mm). With all this, Sony installed a powerful battery that lasts for 28 hours of operation - this is the leader in the top of wireless headphones in terms of battery life. In addition, the headphones are conveniently folded and fit into a compact and beautiful complete case, and magnets are built into the case.
