Apple's wireless AirPods officially hit stores early this year, but if you're on the fence about buying them, that's no reason to delay going cord-free. Plenty of other companies also hopped on the wireless bandwagon with both on-ear statement-makers and more subtle in-ear buds that are worth your consideration. If you've been thinking it's time to upgrade your dingy-looking iPhone EarPods, now is a great time.
From the signature edge and trendy metallics of Beats to the almost invisible in-ear Bragi Headphones, your options for rocking out to The Weeknd are unlimited. And if you prefer to listen to your tunes while working out, we've got you covered. Many headphone-makers have realized wireless is the way to go when you're working up a sweat and offer secure, yet comfortable, options. And a headphone jack? You won't miss that old thing.
If you want the most discreet headphone around, look for an in-ear set. These are most like the ones bundles with mobile devices, and use a little rubber tip to create a seal in your ear to block out noise.
It’s this part that also stops them from leaking sound like Apple’s EarPods, which can annoy everyone around you if you like your music loud. Earphones are also a great choice if you don’t have much to spend, with great pairs starting at around £30. You may also see this kind of headphones called an IEM, which stands for inner-ear monitor.
The only real downsides to in-ear headphones are that some people don’t like the feel of the tips in their ear canals, and that most don’t sound quite as large as a full-size pair.
