JBL T450BT

Rating: 4.8

Very worthy overhead bluetooth headphones that fell into our rating due to well-developed bass. The device works using Bluetooth 4.0 technology. At the same time, there is no support for advanced profiles, like AptX, so the sound to the headphones does not come at all in perfect quality. However, the buyer may not notice this, especially if he will listen to music in MP3 format.

Consignmental form factor allowed the creators to introduce a sufficiently capacious battery. As a result, you can listen to music in JBL T450BT up to eleven hours! Full charge time here is two hours, which is also a very good result. It should be noted that there is a microphone here that allows you to talk to the other person without getting the smartphone out of your pocket.

At least three color variants of wireless headphones are on sale. The cost of the device starts from 2400 rubles.

Philips SHB4405

Rating: 4.7

No rating of inexpensive headphones can do without products under the Philips brand. In particular, it is impossible not to note the model under the marking SHB4405. This overhead closed headphones with a very thin headband. The product looks quite fragile, but it sounds very good. And here there is a microphone that makes a full-fledged headset out of the device.

As a wireless technology, it uses Bluetooth 4.1, a version that will not become obsolete for many years. From a full charge, the device will sound for about eight to nine hours. In the future, two hours will be required for charging. Interestingly, this is almost the only wireless headphones with a removable battery.

In general, the headphones justifies its cost, not exceeding 2,200 rubles. Only the number of color options can confuse customers - in stores you can find only white and black headphones.

Sony MDR-ZX220BT

Rating: 4.6

The Japanese know a lot about sound, so it's a pity that Sony products usually have a rather serious margin. Fortunately, the wireless headphones MDR-ZX220BT regularly fall on all sorts of sales, where you can buy them for just 2500 rubles. For the money this is a great option! It's cheaper to find a Bluetooth headset with an NFC chip. However, the device did not fall into the rating from expert.bigbadmole.com/en/en/ because of the presence of the latter. We liked the appearance of the accessory, as well as the minimum weight for this design. The sound quality is also impressive - it is clear that the Japanese have tried to squeeze all the juices out of the cheapest design.

Of course, the ideal data wireless headphones can not be named. The manufacturer has saved on the battery - its capacity is enough for about eight hours of sound, and even then not at full volume. Also, the Japanese did not introduce support for wired operation. Somewhat disappointing is the charging time of 2.5 hours. Nevertheless, if you are ready to put up with the above disadvantages, then wireless headphones will definitely like you!

Bose SoundSport

Rating: 4.9

About these wireless headphones speech on the pages of the online magazine expert.bigbadmole.com/en/en/ once already was. Then it was mentioned that the product is well kept in the ears due to the kind of "struts". But this is not the only advantage of this model. Much more important is the fact of having protection against water. This allows you to use the headset during sports, when the body actively secretes sweat. Also a little surprised at the presence in such a tiny product of an NFC chip, which significantly accelerates the synchronization process with a smartphone.

Otherwise, these are typical wireless “plugs” connected to each other by a flexible neck cord. The weight of the accessory does not exceed 23 g, it is almost not felt on the body during training. Charging time is a typical two hours, which is good.

Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear Wireless

Rating: 4.8

One more rather expensive wireless "plugs". But they also fully justify their value. And not even so much because of ease of use, but because of the sound quality. These are one of the few vacuum headphones in our rankings that have support for the AptX codec. If a smartphone can work with the appropriate profile, the sound will be very impressive! Another undoubted advantage of the accessory is the duration of work from one charge, reaching in some cases ten hours. And the device supports fast charging - only an hour and a half is spent on this process.

Complete with wireless headphones are supplied not only four pairs of interchangeable ear cushions, but also a case that simplifies the carrying of such a headset. It should be noted, and the presence of NFC under the case - synchronization with it is done in a couple of seconds. In short, to find any shortcomings in the device is extremely difficult. In their reviews, people complain only about the decent size of the accessory.

Sony MDR-XB80BS

Rating: 4.7

Even wireless headphones have cable in many cases. In the previous models examined, it was a rather thick neck cord. If he would annoy you, then it is better to consider buying Sony MDR-XB80BS. Here, too, there is a necklace, but already much longer and thinner. During training, it almost ceases to be felt. And to play sports in such headphones is a pleasure. You can not worry about the sweat, as with protection from water, he definitely does not harm the product.

Four color versions of the device are on sale. In all cases, the headphones have a mount, thanks to which the headset literally hangs on the ears. At first it may seem inconvenient, but you get used quickly enough. Included with the accessory are four pairs of interchangeable ear cushions and a small case. In short, a very good set from the Japanese company Sony. And it is quite inexpensive - they ask for 9,000 rubles for wireless headphones, which is a typical price tag for high-quality sports headsets.

Best Wireless Bluetooth Earbud Headphones

Apple AirPods

Rating: 4.9

Oddly enough, wireless in-ear headphones have recently become quite rare. Somehow, this direction is currently developing only the company Apple. But these headphones are very comfortable in many cases. For example, when riding a bicycle, “gags” will not work - they will not allow to hear the pedestrian’s shout or the signal of an approaching vehicle in time. That is why the "apple" giant must be thanked for the creation of AirPods.

This headset has a complete lack of wires. This, of course, threatens to lose one of the headphones. However, with careful use of such trouble you just do not threaten. We must not forget that the headphones are not placed in your pocket, but in a special case, which is a full-fledged charger. The headset itself plays five hours. But if you regularly put it in the above case, then the duration of work increases exactly to the day!

You can talk about Apple AirPods for a very long time. These wireless headphones are tiny, they almost do not feel in your ears. The minimum weight does not allow them to fall out. Also, special technologies have been introduced here - for example, when you pull out one of the headphones, the music is immediately paused. If there was still support for modern digital codecs, the headset would be a fabulous acquisition!

Of course, AirPods has a flaw that is typical of Apple products. Buy it should be only the owners of the iPhone and iPad. Paired with the "android" headphones will not refuse to work, but the functionality will be greatly reduced. Also, not everyone will like the cost, ranging from 11 to 13 thousand rubles.

Sony SBH70

Rating: 4.8

Already much less expensive wireless in-ear headphones. The cost, not exceeding 4 thousand rubles, is explained by a simplified design. It is evident that the Japanese this time did not invent anything new. However, the headset would not be included in our rating if it did not store anything interesting.

First, the product has an NFC chip, which is extremely unusual for an accessory with such a cost. Secondly, there is protection against water. This means that in such headphones you can ride a bike, actively sweating. Not afraid of the device and getting under the rain. Thirdly, the manufacturer introduced an active noise cancellation system here. She, of course, can not cope with the hum of the plane or the sounds in the subway, but the street noise is extinguished successfully.

And what about the buyer should be warned? Perhaps only about the size of the accessory. The neckband does its job - it can get in the way of someone, and it's not very convenient to put such a headset in your pocket. However, such a cheap Bluetooth headset must have other drawbacks - they will be mentioned below.

Plantronics BackBeat FIT

Rating: 4.7

At the time of release, these wireless headphones were very good. People liked the neckband, which turned out very thin and flexible. This accessory can be easily crumpled by putting in your pocket. Also, no one really complained about the design of the liners themselves. Their position is conveniently regulated, while the music does not drown out all the surrounding sounds, which is ideal for sports. There is also protection against water, as nothing bad can be said about the quality of the microphone.

But why are we talking about the headset in the past tense? The fact is that the product is no longer available. In stores now you can find only the remnants of the warehouses. And Plantronics BackBeat FIT has one serious problem. These headphones got a short-lived battery. After about half a year or a year, he sets to zero, after which it simply cannot be charged. Namely, such a period of headphones already lay in the warehouse. They also have a weak power controller - it can burn if you connect a charger with a high amperage to the headset. Of course, in case of problems, you can easily return the money using the warranty. But you need it? However, the headphones deserve their place in the ranking, as none of the competitors offer anything like this yet.

Top Bluetooth Headset

Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear Wireless (M2 OEBT)

Rating: 4.9

Very expensive overhead headphones sold in our country for about 16 thousand rubles. Differ in the compact sizes and stylish appearance. They got into our rating also due to the presence of three color options at once - this is rarely seen in this price segment.

It should be noted that the headphones are not full-size. This means that they can not sew the user from external noise. However, they try to do this at the expense of active noise cancellation. It works relatively well, for good reason four microphones can be detected on the device.

Wireless headphones have support for the AptX codec. But if that is not supported by your smartphone, you should not worry too much. It is not necessary to use Bluetooth for signal transmission. At any time, you can connect a portable gadget to your headphones via a traditional audio cable. This can be done in the event that the accessory has a trite battery.

In short, it is almost ideal for use both indoors and outdoors! If the cost had not been so impressive ...

Bowers & Wilkins P5 Wireless

Rating: 4.8

Excellent wireless headphones that have been available for at least three years. Here the buyer is waiting for corporate design, complemented by a robust design. Initially, the product seems too large. But in fact, the headphones are close to a compact form factor. Their weight is 213 g - this is the best option to ensure that the head of such headphones does not get tired for quite a long time.

The structure of the device includes two microphones. This allowed the creators to implement a decent system of active noise cancellation. However, you should not wait for an ideal result - somewhere in the plane, external sounds will be only partially suppressed. One can not fail to note the possibility of connecting the audio cable. This is very important, because the battery can sit down at the most inopportune moment. Another important feature is the support of the AptX digital codec. However, it would be strange not to see such a mark in the characteristics of headphones sold for 18-19 thousand rubles.

Marshall Monitor Bluetooth

Rating: 4.8

Excellent headphones, cups which are made of rough and pleasant to the touch material. With each other, they are connected not only with a soft arc, upholstered in leather, but also with a spiral wire. In short, this design can be no doubt - you can break the headphones either on purpose or by dropping them from the window of a high-rise building.

As befits wireless headphones for 15 thousand rubles., Here there is support for the AptX codec. If you have an old smartphone, and you want to listen to music in the best quality, you can use a wired connection. Also, with the help of such headphones, you can stream and communicate with interlocutors - two microphones are designed for this purpose. But most of all, the product surprises with a very long battery life. The manufacturer itself declares 30 hours! It is clear that in reality the result is smaller, but it is also able to hit many readers of this rating.

Best full-size Bluetooth headphones

Sony WH-1000XM2

Rating: 4.7

Usually expensive wireless headphones please exquisite design. About WH-1000XM2 from Sony can not say. Yes, it uses high-quality plastic, very pleasant to the touch. But from the product for 25 thousand rubles. waiting for something more, something amazing. However, the fact that the device sits comfortably on the head is much more important. Also, it should be noted gorgeous sound quality.It is possible that there is some merit in the extended frequency range up to 4-40000 Hz.

It was Sony who invented the AptX digital codec at one time, so you shouldn’t be surprised at its support. Moreover, they “understand” the headphones and the signal encoded in AptX HD. But to appreciate all this - you need to listen not MP3, but FLAC-music. Yes, and the smartphone needs the appropriate. If there is no such hand, you can use the audio cable. When it is connected, the charge of the battery also stops. However, you shouldn’t worry about it - the headphones can sound in Bluetooth mode for up to thirty hours. But the charging time here is long - about four hours.

This accessory got into our rating due to the presence of smart functions. If you install a special application on your smartphone, the sound will be automatically adjusted. It is difficult to explain in words, you need to try such a function in action. And still the model pleases with adaptation to atmospheric pressure (it plays its role in the plane) and personalized noise reduction optimization.

Sennheiser RS ​​160

Rating: 4.7

Very large wireless headphones that almost completely hide external noise. Unlike the models we reviewed above, it uses not a Bluetooth, but a special radio channel. Because of this, the device comes with a special base that works on two AAA batteries. The exact time of its work depends on the capacity of the installed batteries or rechargeable batteries. As for the headphones themselves, a 600 mAh battery is installed inside them, which has a full charge for about 24 hours of sound. It is surprising that with such a battery headphones do not weigh very much - only 226 g.

Why do we need a special radio channel? Everything is very simple. The presence of its support allows you to connect the product wirelessly, even to those devices that do not have a Bluetooth-module. Most often, these headphones are connected to the simplest TVs - to do this, just insert the wire from the base into the socket for traditional wired headphones. Also used here is the radio channel wins the "blue tooth" in terms of the range - here it reaches 20 meters.

Bose QuietComfort 35 II

Rating: 4.7

Excellent full-size headphones that can operate from one charge to twenty hours. They got into our rating due to their many characteristics. In particular, it is one of the few headsets that almost perfectly interacts with the iPhone. It can also simultaneously connect to two devices at once. Synchronization is very fast, especially if the device has an NFC chip. More creators should be commended for the introduction of active noise cancellation system, working with two microphones.

It's nice that these headphones can be connected to audio equipment and using a cable.But most often this feature is not required. Even if the battery is dead - only 15 minutes of charging will be enough for 2.5 hours of subsequent work! Finally, nothing bad can be said about the sound quality. Here, the manufacturer has squeezed everything out of the used construction. However, it is not surprising, because they sell these headphones for 23 thousand rubles.

Plantronics BackBeat PRO

Rating: 4.6

Headphones that are quite simple externally, which actually are not. Unlike cheaper wireless models, active noise cancellation is present here. But even more surprising product because of its design. The fact is that in each cup there are two drivers. Each of them is sharpened strictly under its own frequency range. There is no doubt that this allows you to distinguish almost every instrument when listening to music.

Please this accessory and thanks to the support of AptX. Synchronization with your smartphone speeds up NFC. However, it seems that much more often the headphones will be used in a wired mode, the benefit of the possibility of connecting the cable here.

Unfortunately, there are headphones and disadvantages. The most important of these is 340 grams. Bluetooth headphones turned out to be quite heavy, which makes it ideal only for home use.

Conclusion

In fact, this is not a complete list of very good wireless headphones. Now the range of such devices is incredibly large - in some stores you can find hundreds of different models. Nevertheless, we tried to select exactly those accessories, the purchase of which does not disappoint at all. Now you only have to decide on the form factor and cost.
