Apple's wireless headphones and earbuds are elegant comfortable, well-designed, and seamlessly integrated into the Apple ecosystem. The headphones have a Lightning connector for iPhones and some models come with a 3.5mm connector for older devices.
The AirPods Pro sound excellent for music and movies, including cinematic spatial audio and a fancy virtual surround. They also come with special features, like instant pairing, automatic switching, and "Hey Siri".
Sound
Apple headphones are known for their excellent sound quality. Some models also have noise cancellation. Some are wireless and can be used with Apple's AirPods and others can be connected to your iPhone through a Lightning cable. If you don't have an Lightning cable there are adapters that will allow you to connect your headphones using a standard jack. The quality of sound produced by Apple headphones is also impacted by the audio codec they employ therefore, you must check what kind of audio is supported by the.
Apple AAC is the codec used by headphones that come with iPhones. It's designed for Apple devices. The codec for audio has a lower latency than other Bluetooth codecs, which makes it good for listening to music and podcasts. Apple headphones which are the best come with Bluetooth 5.0 and AAC, which is a modern version of technology that has greater range.
If you're looking for a more immersive audio experience, think about headphones that have Apple's spatial sound technology. This feature mimics surround sound to provide an experience that is more immersive. This feature is only available on iOS devices running iOS 14 or higher.
Apple headphones are not just great for audio but also look stylish. The company's EarPods for instance are simple, but excellent earbuds that fit into nearly any pocket and provide great audio quality.
The Beats Studio3 headphones are more versatile than the EarPods and feature closed-back design which provides better noise isolation for commuting and sports. They are uncomfortable to the ears if worn for prolonged periods of time, though they aren't as comfortable to wear while running. They also have a slightly heavier construction and cost more than Apple-branded EarPods. Despite these drawbacks however, the Beats Studio3 headphones are one of our top picks from Apple because they're comfortable to wear, have outstanding sound quality, and offer outstanding noise cancellation. They're built to a high standard and feature an advanced audio engine that's compatible with the Apple W1 chip, which provides advanced features.
Design
Apple is known for their sleek design, and headphones from the company aren't an exception. Apple offers a range of headphones, including wired models that plug into the headphone port of the iPhone, as well as wireless Bluetooth earbuds. Apple headsets are more expensive, but they usually sound better.
Apple's AirPods Pro 2 are the best-selling headphones in the world and deliver outstanding audio quality and noise cancellation in a sleek, compact package. The earbuds have a long battery life and feature Siri voice control for hands-free usage. The earbuds come in a distinctive case that charges them and secures them when not in your ears.
The AirPods Pro track your movement and can be helpful if you are working out or running. The wireless headphones also come with an audio feature called spatial that simulates surround sound when you stream videos on an iPhone or iPad with Apple TV, Disney Plus and HBO Max. The feature can be confusing however it's a great way to listen to your favorite TV shows and films while on the move.
Beats Studio 3 Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones is another great option for audiophiles and those who enjoy Apple Music playlists. They can last up to 22 hours of listening time with ANC and 40 without, and they use the Apple W1 chip for easy installation and seamless switching between iOS devices. The earbuds also feature an adjustable "Hey Siri", and tips for wing to ensure a secure fit when working out.
Both Apple and Google create earbuds with their particular ecosystem in mind, but each brand's earbuds have its strengths. Google's Pixel Buds, for example are less expensive than Apple's AirPods but they come with longer battery lives, a customizable app, and graphic EQ settings.
Apple's headphones might be ideal for people who rely on the Apple ecosystem, but their controls can frustrate everyone else. Their minimalist designs don't always have robust features, and they're lacking certain functions that are essential to their truly wireless models. Siri is supposed to handle your music, not the volume control.
Connectivity
The increase in Bluetooth options and the demise from the latest iPhones of the headphone jack is making wired models to swiftly disappear like Dodo. Sony offers a range of wired headphones, both on and over the ear, which are compatible with Apple devices. It also offers a truly wireless pair of earbuds called the Momentum Free - that connect via the radio signal that is low-power.
If you have a newer Mac, make sure your headphones support Bluetooth 5.0 or later. This standard provides greater audio quality and longer battery life compared to older Bluetooth versions. Also, make sure to check the list of audio codecs to make sure your music files can be played.
Whatever type of headphones you opt for, look for models that have an ensconced fit. On-ear or over-ear models that have a thick headband offer an ensconced fit and are less likely to slip out during physical activity. You want earbuds that fit snugly, seal the ears, and have excellent noise cancellation that blocks out ambient sounds.
The top wireless headphones are the Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation), Beats X Wireless and Beats Studio Wireless and the Bose Quiet Comfort 35 II. The AirPods provide exceptional sound quality, excellent wireless Bluetooth pairing, and an elegant design, which has earned them the highest rating from customers, which is 4.5 out of 5. The Beats Studio Wireless are similar to the Pro model but feature new design, better noise cancellation and a long battery life.
The Quiet Comfort 35 II, the latest addition to Bose's quiet comfort line, features noise cancellation, a longer battery life, and a comfortable fit all in a compact portable design. The QC35 II, an upgrade to the previous model, added support for the AAC audio codec and a new wireless protocol that allows for increased Bluetooth speeds and reduced latencies.
If headphones shops aren't able to pair with your Mac, try resetting the Bluetooth preferences. Click the Apple logo on your desktop, and then select System Settings. Look for your headphones in the list and then click the Then, next to their names. You may have to put the headphones in pairing mode by pressing and holding the button to pair until you see the status light.
Value
If you think the headphones worth $549 is up to you, but objectively, the AirPods Pro are a remarkable pair of headphones. The sound quality is excellent and features like transparency and auto-pause are very useful. They also feel incredibly well-built and sturdy, which isn't always the case with wireless headphones.
Of course, this type of high-end functionality comes with an expense and for many the AirPods are too expensive. However the AirPods Pro make a lot of sense for people who are already committed to Apple's ecosystem. The AirPods Pro use the same H1 chipset found in the iPhone's newer generations of speakers to analyze the audio from the eight microphones positioned within the earcups and around them. The headphones can now adjust the sound of your music to fit your head and block out external noise in real time. Apple claims to be able to make 200 adjustments to your music in a second which is a staggering amount. The result is a pair headphones that are truly alive with a cinematic clarity and depth that's unmatched. AirPods Pro can make even the most boring tracks sound vivid and enveloping.
Prior to the release of the AirPods, Apple used to include EarPods with wires in every iPhone box, and the earbuds continue to be available now with either the Lightning or 3.5mm headphone plug (though they do not feature a microphone). The new AirPods are more impressive, however they're still great for exercising or commuting. They have excellent battery longevity, and are comfortable to wear.
Beats the original line of earbuds and over-the-ear headphones was purchased by Apple in 2014, however, they've largely remained the same, except for upgrading to a newer W1 chip and USB-C charging. It's expected that the company will eventually end the brand, but collaborations with artists and a periodic update such as the Beats Solo3 with USB-C and the latest H1 chip might keep them relevant for some time.
