00:00These are the best earbuds that you can get today. Best overall is the Sony WF-1000XM6, which delivers the
00:07best combination of sound quality, noise cancellation, and battery life.
00:10Out of the box, they're very well balanced and have excellent detail, track separation, and bass performance.
00:15There's also great codec support and a 10-band EQ for customization.
00:19While its redesigned case is actually chunkier than predecessors and call quality is pretty mid, the XM6 offers the sound
00:26quality and feature upgrades that a lot of fans of this series have been waiting on and it deserves our
00:30best overall pick.
00:32That said, for Apple users, the AirPods Pro 3 remain the best earbuds for iPhone.
00:37They've got a great mix of sound quality, noise cancellation, and several Apple-exclusive features.
00:41Compared to the AirPods Pro 2, the 3 actually has better sound quality and ANC is twice as strong.
00:47Battery life also gets a boost to 8 hours up from 6.
00:50Just like other AirPods, these pair and switch instantly between your other Apple devices.
00:55The AirPods Pro 3 are also the first AirPods to include a dedicated heart rate sensor for tracking your fitness
01:00without needing an Apple Watch.
01:02Now, if I caught your attention with the Sony WF-1000XM6, but you don't want to spend over $300 on
01:07your next pair, then check out the Sony WF-C710N.
01:12Horrible name, but very comparable sound quality and noise cancellation, but with a little less codec support and no wireless
01:18charging in the case.
01:19Battery life is actually slightly better than the XM6 with 8.5 hours of playback with ANC or up to
01:2512 hours with it off.
01:26Getting basically 80-85% of the XM6 experience for almost a third of the price.
01:32Finally, for the best noise-canceling earbuds, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds Gen 2 still holds the crown.
01:39The Gen 2 brings improved sound quality and ANC, and they've also added wireless charging.
01:44That said, their bulkier design and lower battery life have the interest to see what Bose comes up with for
01:49a Gen 3 successor.
01:50But for right now, when it comes to ANC performance, there's no better pair of earbuds to block out noise.
01:55But, I'm curious to know what pair of earbuds you're currently rocking, or if you're planning to upgrade to any
02:00of our picks.
02:01And if there are any pairs that you need me to check out for next time, let me know in
02:04the comments too.
