Top 8 Best Wireless Headphones in 2025

These headphones, Sony’s latest release, are the ones I’m currently using every day. What I like most about them, besides their comfortable and lightweight design, is their ULT Power Sound technology, which boosts the bass and elevates the music experience to the max.

If you’re a die-hard music lover, these are undoubtedly the best headband option you’ll find right now, priced under €200. They’re available in three colors and come with a carrying case so you can keep them protected when you travel.

With up to 30 hours of battery life on a single charge, the Sony ULT Wear earbuds can keep you going all day without needing to recharge. Plus, if you forget to charge them, don’t worry; they have a quick charge feature that gives you an hour and a half of playback time on a 3-minute charge.

These Umidigi earbuds have over 1,000 reviews, a total of 4.8 out of 5 stars, and an unbeatable price/performance ratio. Their standout features include a long-lasting battery with over 5 hours of continuous battery life and up to 24 hours of battery life thanks to the wireless charging case.

Also noteworthy is the sound quality they offer, thanks to their graphene-coated speakers, and how practical they are for answering calls, as they have a built-in microphone and noise cancellation system that guarantees the best clarity and experience.

All of this is topped off with a touch sensor that lets you manage your music and calls with just a touch. They boast a semi-in-ear design and are so light (just 4 grams) that they’re incredibly comfortable to wear.

What should to consider when buying wireless headphones?

• The use you intend to give them: Someone looking for headphones to listen to music everywhere will not have the same needs as someone who wants them specifically for sports or playing on the computer, or a video game console. Therefore, the first essential step is to determine what you intend to use them for.
• Your budget: There are so many and varied options that this is reflected in the price, so it’s also key to define a range of what you’re willing to spend.
• Their specific features: As I mentioned, there is a wide variety of wireless headphones, each with its own characteristics: there are headband models, in-ear models, models with a cable that connects both headphones… In this sense, the decision will depend on the use you are going to give them and your own preferences.
• Your personal tastes: Linking to the previous point, your preferences are also key when deciding on one model or another.

What types of headphones are there?

• Circumaural: Also known as “over-ear,” these headphones have larger ear cushions, as they completely cover the ear. This makes them very comfortable to wear for long hours and offers excellent sound quality, as the speaker is also larger.
• Supraaural:  Also known as “on-ear,” these headphones are very similar to the previous ones, but with the only difference being that they are smaller. They are slightly less comfortable, as they don’t cover the entire ear and can end up being uncomfortable. However, they are easier to transport than the previous ones and also offer good sound quality.
• In-ear headphones:  These headphones, also called “in-ear,” are the smallest and adapt well to the shape of the ear because they fit directly into the ear canal. The advantage is that they offer greater noise cancellation and are smaller in size. Their sound quality has improved over time.
• Earbuds: These are the classic earbuds, meaning they fit inside the ear but only slightly, without covering the ear canal. They don’t offer noise cancellation, but they’re usually the most affordable.
• Wireless headphones:  These aren’t a type of headphone as such, as they can be any of the previous models, but rather an extra. The only difference is that they’re wireless, which offers many advantages in everyday use. They connect via Bluetooth to any device and can be found at very affordable prices or slightly more expensive, depending on the brand and features.

Advantages and disadvantages of wireless headphones

The main advantages of using wireless headphones are: 

• These types of hearing aids stand out for their comfort during everyday activities, such as running, going to the gym, talking on a conference call, or simply performing other activities while wearing them, since they don’t require any cables.
• You can connect them to any device that has Bluetooth:  whether it’s a smartphone, tablet, computer, or smart TV, as long as they have this type of connection, you’ll be able to use them.
• They have a greater distance range, since those that require a cable normally have a very limited range of use; however, with wireless ones, you can move 10 or 15 meters (depending on each device) easily without losing the connection.
• In addition, they have more controls than classic headphones, since through buttons or touch readers you can perform functions such as pausing music, hanging up a call, going to the next song, or turning the volume up and down easily.

The main disadvantages of using wireless headphones are: 

• You may experience some audio interference: If the connection is not completely stable (which is not common), you may experience some audio interruptions or not hear it clearly.
• You need to charge them to use them:  These headphones typically have very good battery life (depending on the model), but you’ll need to recharge them periodically to continue using them. The cases generally have a charging plate that allows you to recharge them multiple times, but when the battery runs out, you’ll have to plug them in to recharge.
• They can be more expensive than conventional ones.  As we’ve said, it all depends on the model and brand, but in general, they tend to be slightly more expensive, although we’re increasingly seeing models with better performance and features at a lower price.

What are the most common uses for wireless headphones?

Whether you use these types of headphones is up to you; however, their most common uses are for going to the gym (since they don’t fall out and are very small and easy to carry) or for going for a run. They’re also typically used for  walking down the street  because they allow you to listen to music or talk on the phone with your phone in your bag without having to worry about it while you’re commuting to work or shopping, for example.
