Apple Wireless

★★★★☆ 4.1 (86)

The touchscreen charging case, which allows call, track, and find controls without a phone, is a distinctive feature alongside active noise cancelling and Bluetooth 5.4. They also deliver 40 hours total playtime, a comfortable 0.13oz per earbud fit, and 13mm dynamic drivers with five EQ modes for tailored sound. These are best for commuters and call-heavy users who want case-based controls and long battery life, but not for rigorous exercise given a low fitness score.
