Sony WF-1000XM4

The successor to the Sony WF-1000MN3, these headphones are a true triumph in every sense. First, they offer the best noise cancellation in the world right now with added features like sweat and water resistance. On top of this, their battery life is top-notch, making the headphones seem like a steal even at $300. 

Google Pixel Buds A-Series

If you’re looking for value for money, these might be your best bet. For android users, the seamless integration through the Buds app is a huge plus. Add to that the touch controls, Adaptive Sound, and the reasonable price of $99, Buds A-Series sound ideal for someone who doesn’t want to think about their earphones too much. 

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds

When it comes to sound quality, no one does it like Bose. The QuietComfort earbuds are Bose’s answer to Sony’s WF series in terms of noise cancellation. At $30 cheaper, they pack a serious punch for anyone looking to upgrade. 

Apple AirPods Pro

Even though these came out over a year ago, they still win! The impeccable design, effective noise cancellation, fantastic call quality, and, of course, seamless IOS integration have helped them stand the test of time. Their compact build makes them easy to carry, the battery life is impressive, and the surround-sound feature makes them feel great on the ears. For an iPhone user, they should still be the premium choice at $200. 

Sennheiser CX True Wireless Earbuds

Sennheiser’s earbuds provide you with rich bass and audio at a fantastic price! Although they are not top-of-the-market in any one feature, they still give you a cost-effective wholesome solution at $129. You won’t break the bank and still get earbuds that will last you all day. If you are looking for battery life and durability, these will be the better choice in this price range than the Google Pixels for you!
