It seems like every month comes a new set of earbuds with longer battery life and more compact designs. Thus, we cannot list everything we like. But if you're still on the hunt, here are some other recommendations.
Soundcore Space A40 for $60: Although they're no longer on our main list, the Space A40 are still some of my favorite buds for the money, offering good features, clear sound, and excellent noise cancellation for their price class. They also look polished, with only the lack of an auto-pause sensor betraying their low price.
Sony LinkBuds Fit for $200: Sony's LinkBuds Fit offer rich and powerful sound, a natural transparency mode, and a light and comfortable fit, helping them live up to their intent as a “wear anywhere” solution. They offer some solid features, but only skimp on battery life with 5.5 hours per charge and their noise cancellation is decent. Their reliance on weak silicone sleeves and strangely unresponsive touch controls further reduces their value, but they're still Sony Buds and may be worth the sale.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro for $100-200: The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are getting old, but they're still one of the best buds to pair with samsung phoneThey don't have the multi-device connectivity of our top choice for Android users, and their five-hour battery seems pretty low these days, but they offer excellent sound quality, IPX7 waterproofing, and a distinctive design that's not just the AirPods. Copy Pro. This makes them worth considering for sale.
Pixel Buds A series for $99: These used to be our top choice for most people, but have now been overshadowed by other affordable options that also include things like noise cancellation. If you can find a pair on sale, they're still worth buying, especially if you have an Android phone.
OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro for $150: These comfortable, lightweight earbuds feature multipoint pairing, making them great for people who like to work with a laptop and cell phone at the same time (7/10, Wired recommendsWe didn't like their control layout and thought the noise cancellation was fine. Furthermore, design-wise they are another pair of AirPods clones.
SoundPits Air4 for $80, Soundpeats Air4 (7/10, Wired recommends) may be obvious AirPods Pro knockoffs, but they're pretty good knockoffs for the money. You won't get top-flight performance, let alone Apple exclusives like Find My Support or iCloud sharing, but you'll get good sound and features at a steep discount, including decent noise cancellation. Although these aren't the top choice, they're still a great budget buy, especially on sale.
Montblanc MTB 03 for $395, The price of these earbuds is out of reach for most buyers, but if you have the cash, you'll be rewarded with a luxury experience worthy of the brand. Montblanc has called on some stalwarts from the audio industry to design and sound these buds. The result is a small, comfortable and quite attractive looking pair of wireless earbuds that sound really impressive.
Apple/Beats Powerbeats Pro for $180, Apple's powerful Powerbeats Pro (8/10, Wired recommends) offers a super-secure fit, delivers far better sound than Apple's standard AirPods or Beats pairs, and gets an impressive nine hours of life from a single charge. They've been trying for a long time and are sacrificing standard extra features like Transparency Mode and ANC, but may still be worth considering for those after a seriously stable fit.
Recon Everyday Earbuds for $80, These YouTuber-favorite earbuds are actually a nice affordable pair (7/10, Wired ReviewThey're small and lightweight, and they come with an IPX6 rating, making them great for workouts.
Master & Dynamic MW08 Sport for $254, The Sport is a great option that comes with active noise cancellation and an attractive design, but the high price keeps them out of reach for most people.
