It's also worth noting the number of hours you get can vary depending on what other features you have enabled. Don't forget that wireless earbuds come with charging cases so they're kept topped up between outings. I tried them with three different devices, a Redmi Not 8T phone, and iPad and a Samsung Tab A6 tablet. Problams with all, so it was tthe phones, not the devices. And we think they're brilliant options that more than justify their price tag. The buds are impressively small, and their lightweight design helps make them even more comfortable than Sony's XM4. Battery life is competitive at seven and a half hours. JVC estimates that the earphones can last roughly 7.5 hours on a charge and that the case can provide another 15 hours of battery life. Those are decent claims for the price, but your results will vary based on your typical listening volume levels.

An IPX4 rating means the earpieces can withstand light splashes or mists from any direction, but you can't submerge them or rinse them off under a faucet. Yes, this rating is a bit modest, but we have little room for complaint at this price. That said, the aforementioned Tribit Flybuds 3 boast a far more impressive IPX7 rating. The Bose app allows you to alter the amount of noise-cancelling on offer via a number of customisable presets and, speaking of noise-cancelling, the new Bose are still at the top of their game. They can automatically adjust the amount of ANC on offer so your music isn’t drowned out by particularly loud noises and the effect is deeply impressive. As for sound, it's balanced and neutral and overflowing with fine detail. Call quality is good for the money too.

A total 28-hour of battery life, touch control, single ear use, rain proof, stable wireless connection and mic for calling or teleworking for convenient daily use.

The specs

We all know Bose how to make a great pair of wireless headphones and the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds have to be considered its finest wireless earbuds to date. Although we have dedicated testing facilities in London, Reading and Bath, the bulk of our wireless earbuds testing happens outside those facilities, whether that's on the street or in our busy office. Marshmallow true wireless earbuds featuring memory foam earpieces, total 28 hours of battery life, and waterproof rated IPX5. A single earbud use availability and Touch & Talk make it more convenient in everyday life.

It's only when nailing down the finer details of audio quality, we head for quieter environments where we compare the wireless earbuds we're testing to price comparable models and current class-leaders at the money. This gives us the chance to come to solid conclusions and peg each pair on sound quality. Sleek and lightweight open-type true wireless earbuds with a secure, comfortable fit and less pressure on the ears.

Wireless Bluetooth Earphones, Earbuds

We think the Sony's sound quality is superbly balanced too, with deep, detailed bass, expressive mids and engaging highs. They're a very musical listen for the money and a clear step up from the cheaper WF-C500. Within the context of wireless earbuds for exercise, the Reflect Flow Pro perform well across the board. They're waterproof, lightweight, comfortable and come with multiple ear tip fin options. Battery life is a very decent 10 hours (or eight with ANC on) while the wireless charging case stores an extra 20 hours. They also produce a lively, detailed sound that makes them easy to recommend. Yes, you can get wireless earbuds not geared towards sport that, for a similar price, deliver more detail and dynamic subtlety (look further up this list for inspiration). But, unlike these JBLs, they won’t have the finely-honed ergonomics or rugged design that's required to be hailed as ideal fitness buddies. The mic array sounds average at best. We could understand every word from a test recording on our iPhone, but the signal was a bit quiet and Bluetooth artifacts took over in spots. Calls shouldn't be an issue over a reliable signal, though the mics aren't likely to save you from a weak connection.
