The Amazon Echo Buds are pretty impressive. The sound quality is pretty good and have hands-free Alexa and Bose noise-reduction technology. More features include being sweat resistant, comfortable fit and they also work well for making calls.

The AirPods Pro 2 are a fan favorite, for good reason. It has solid sound quality, with noise cancelling, adaptive transparency mode and spatial audio. It is powered by Apple’s H2 chip. The battery life is fairly long as well of up to six hours. As an added bonus, there are also extra-small ear tips included.

Beats Solo3 wireless headphones are pretty popular. The battery life of these is insane at 40 hours on a full charge. They are also super simple to use as remote control built-in to the right ear cup that’s easy to operate by feel. They are especially great if you’re pairing them with an Apple device because of the W1 chip.

Apple AirPods Max are usually pretty expensive, so this is a pretty great deal. Some features worth calling out is adaptive noise canceling and transparency mode. These are best paired with an Apple device because of the spatial audio virtual surround for iPhones and iPads and multipoint Bluetooth, allowing you to automatically switch between iOS devices.
