The best headphones for iPhone: TOP 15 wireless and wired models

Today's rating of the best headphones for iPhone 2021 will consider wireless and wired models with support for the AAC codec. Starting with the iPhone 7, Apple moved away from using the 3.5 mm headphone jack in favor of wireless devices. Therefore, most of the positions in our TOP are occupied by Bluetooth headphones, which go well with the new Apple iPhone models.

Which headphones are best for iPhone?

It's no secret that original Apple headphones are best suited to the iPhone in terms of convenience and stability, but the price makes you think about choosing headphones, and in terms of sound you can find tempting options for the same money.

Apple prefers only the AAC codec (excluding standard SBC) for wireless audio transmission. Therefore, there is little point in purchasing wireless Bluetooth headphones that support aptX or LDAC.

iPhone connectors and adapters for wired headphones

Apple prefers the Lightning connector and Bluetooth wireless interface. A fairly small number of headphone models have lightning plugs (one of them is EarPods), so you’ll have to immediately look for an adapter. We will help with this too.

Currently, it is not difficult to find an inexpensive lightning to 3.5 mm mini-jack adapter (on Aliexpress and analogues). Unfortunately, the adapter will be an additional link, but this is almost the only option to connect regular wired headphones to the iPhone.

When choosing an adapter, do not rely on the cheapest options, because... this is not just “input and output”, but also a certain amount of electronics (after all, you need to convert the digital signal from lightning to analog).

How to connect wireless headphones to iPhone

After purchasing a device, the question arises: “How to connect wireless headphones to an iPhone?” There are two connection methods:

• Bluetooth. To connect wireless headphones, you need to go to “Settings” – “Bluetooth” and turn on Bluetooth. Stay on this screen, put the headphones in discovery mode and tap the accessory name when it appears on the screen. If you need a PIN code, please read the documentation that came with your headphones.
• Automatically. Your iPhone will display an animated setup program splash screen. Click "Connect". If you have AirPods Pro, read the on-screen instructions. If you have AirPods Pro or AirPods (2nd generation) and you've already set up Hey Siri on your iPhone, you can use it with AirPods. If Hey Siri isn't already set up and you have AirPods Pro or AirPods (2nd generation), the setup wizard will open. Click "Done". When you're signed in to iCloud, AirPods are automatically set up to work with any supported device connected to iCloud using the same Apple ID.

FAQ

Are regular headphones compatible with iPhone?

Xiaomi, JBL, as well as other brands that produce wireless headphones may well offer models suitable for iPhone. There is currently no such thing as “licensed iPhone headphones.”

Any wireless gadgets designed for modern phones can work with iPhones. But the available codecs will affect the sound quality, so look for a note in the specification about support for the AAC codec.

Is it acceptable to use iPhone headphones with Android and vice versa?

Yes, it is quite appropriate to perform such manipulations with iPhone headphones - they will fit any Android phone. The exception is the wired EarPods model, since its Lightning plug is rarely found in non-Apple gadgets.

Are there any iPhone apps for headphones?

AirPods and other Apple headphones don't require additional apps when pairing with iPhones. And models of other popular brands (Sennheiser, Sony, Marshall) have proprietary applications for both iPhone and Android. But most headphones can work quite well without installing them - these programs are mainly designed for fine-tuning, although they are quite convenient.

Classic AirPods - an assistant for a wide range of tasks

Having touched on the TWS headphone segment, it’s time to remember about Apple’s main headphones in this segment - the classic AirPods.

I won’t repeat once again that AirPods are a milestone that predetermined the market for many years to come. And 4 years after the announcement, they still have not lost their relevance. Why? Because AirPods are more than headphones.

The main feature of the classic AirPods for me personally is that you can spend the whole day in them without taking them off. Due to the “droplet” form factor, they are, firstly, extremely comfortable to wear non-stop, and secondly, you hear everything that is happening around you, and not for a second do you find yourself in a personal sound vacuum.

This allows you to listen to music in them, watch videos on the Internet, answer calls, communicate with colleagues on Zoom, listen to voice messages in instant messengers, and even start the car by activating the alarm command using “Hey Siri!” (if the corresponding function is available). And doing all this in AirPods is convenient, because you basically forget that something is in your ears for 5 hours straight. Then, of course, you remember when you have to take a break to charge in the case.

The only serious disadvantage of AirPods comes from their main advantage - the complete lack of sound insulation. This means that on an airplane, subway, or any other noisy place, you most likely won’t be able to be alone with music or a movie—extraneous noise will interfere with the process every now and then. Although I have seen hundreds of people on the subway and planes who are not deterred by this at all.

In general, AirPods are a gadget not so much about music, but, in principle, about any digital content and online communication that is delivered directly to your ears. That is, a kind of assistant for a wide range of tasks, working in close conjunction with a smartphone, tablet and computer.

Samsung Galaxy Buds+ (Plus)

Review of Samsung Galaxy Buds+ - good TWS headphones for a phone.

Thirteenth place in the ranking of the best headphones for iPhone is occupied by Samsung Galaxy Buds+ ($160) - high-quality and lightweight headphones from a well-known brand, the best Bluetooth headphones for the phone and in particular for the iPhone.

Autonomous operation up to 6 hours, moisture protection, proprietary application, good quality sound - these are the distinctive features of this model. So if you're looking for wireless Bluetooth earbuds with long battery life and versatile sound, the Galaxy Buds+ are worth considering.

After the release of the official application for this device, support for iOS systems appeared, which makes Samsung Galaxy Buds+ one of the best headphones for a phone.

Video review

• Design. Very interesting and stylish appearance. Classic from SAMSUNG.
• Battery life. 11 hours of battery life for completely wireless headphones is an excellent indicator of the Galaxy Buds+.
• iOS compatible.

• Limited audio codec support.
• Weak water permeability. There is only IPX2, which significantly limits resistance to water (splashes of rain, drops of sweat, etc.)
• No noise cancellation.

Popular models

Based on our research of a large number of models currently available on the market, we have identified the ten best models. The list includes two original models and eight analogue ones. So, let's move on to the introduction.

Sony WF-XB700

Our list opens with the Sony WF-XB700 model.
This is an interesting series that delivers excellent bass depth, indicating good overall sound. Moreover, the cost of the new product is approximately $100 as of 2021. The operating time on one charge is 9 hours. Charging time for the case is three hours. The headphones support synchronization with the device thanks to Bluetooth fifth generation. They have a built-in microphone that allows you to make calls even in very noisy environments.

Advantages:

• high autonomy;
• convenience of button control;
• the case is protected from moisture according to the IPX4 standard;
• reasonable cost;
• high quality of communication thanks to Bluetooth fifth generation.

Flaws:

• large case and body;
• in standalone mode, you can use only the left earphone;
• If the equalizer is set incorrectly, the bass will begin to wheeze.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Live

Samsung Galaxy Buds Live is another development from a Korean concern that is accustomed to surprising its audience with truly high-quality products.
For some reason, the shape of the headphones evokes associations with beans in many people. But this form, according to user reviews, turned out to be very successful. The sound is traditionally high quality. With the noise reduction system turned on, the operating time is 6 hours, and when the mode is turned off, autonomy increases by another two hours. Three microphones (one internal and two external) cope with their tasks perfectly; receiving calls is no problem.

Among the shortcomings, we should highlight the weak protection of the case according to the IPX2 standard, which is clearly lower than its competitors. And the noise reduction system also does not always work as well as we would like.

Advantages:

• powerful sound;
• long battery life;
• powerful sound.

Flaws:

• weak noise reduction;
• May not be suitable for people with small ears;
• Although extremely rare, signal loss occurs.

HONOR Magic Earbuds

This new product was introduced in February 2021.
The package includes a 1 meter long charging cable made according to the Type-C standard, replaceable ear pads, and headphones inside the case. The design is in many ways reminiscent of Apple products, but it is worth noting that due to its popularization it has become generally used. The noise reduction system copes well with its tasks. The autonomy, of course, is not as much as we would like, but for daily use with the expectation of “pick it up in the morning and charge it in the evening” it’s quite enough.

The water and moisture protection class is also not the same as that of flagships. But this is compensated by the low price and sound quality, especially deep bass.

Advantages:

• comfortable fit;
• wonderful sound;
• excellent performance of the noise reduction system;
• price.

Flaws:

• poor protection from water and sweat;
• average autonomy.

JBL Tune 225 TWS

JBL Tune 225 TWS headphones have traditionally pleased customers with high-quality, deep sound.
As befits a brand specializing in the production of audio equipment, the new product has an attractive design, which is already noticeable in the style of the case. The ease of fit raises questions only among those people who are accustomed to using plugs. Although the controls are push-button, pressing is as comfortable and smooth as possible. Noise reduction is also good - a separate microphone is responsible for this.

Advantages:

• stylish appearance;
• high-quality sound regardless of the device connected to the headset;
• Ease of use.

Flaws:

• mediocre battery life - only 5 hours, after which the headphones must be put in the case;
• non-standard push-button control, the layout of which takes some getting used to.

iDragon EP-019 D SW

The iDragon EP-019 D SW model will certainly appeal to those who prefer not only high-quality, but also loud sound.
Even with the noise reduction system turned off, the headset copes well with background noise. The design is very reminiscent of the AirPods mentioned above, but, again, this format has already become ubiquitous. Bluetooth fifth generation is responsible for the connection. Charging along with the case is enough to enjoy high-quality music all day long. The sound when connected to a device that has a built-in central audio processor deserves special praise.

Advantages:

• high sound volume;
• excellent performance of the noise reduction system;
• fifth generation Bluetooth support;
• good autonomy.

Flaws:

• even with the sound completely turned off, the headphones are noisy;
• the form factor is very similar to AirPods, although there are slight differences in terms of length;
• the cost can be questioned.

Apple AirPods 2

Apple AirPods 2 is one of the most popular wireless headset models in the world.
In addition to its own design, which has already become a flagship for other manufacturers, the new product is distinguished by excellent fit quality. Therefore, Apple AirPods 2 are chosen by professional athletes and people who prefer an active lifestyle. Synchronization with iPhone is, for obvious reasons, very convenient. There are practically no questions about the sound quality, microphone performance, noise reduction system and autonomy.

The only thing that users notice is the occurrence of a slight play in the case lid over time, as well as the poor protection of the case from scratches.

Advantages:

• wonderful sound;
• perfect fit that prevents the headset from falling out during serious physical activity;
• autonomy up to 10 hours;
• stylish design;
• Excellent performance of the noise reduction system.

Flaws:

• cost (as well as a number of other products from Apple);
• The case body becomes scratched over time;
• The case lid may loosen over time.

Bixton AirOns Plus

If you can’t afford an expensive wireless headset, or you want to try out the technology in practice, you should definitely pay attention to the Bixton AirOns Plus model.
This is a budget headset for its class that supports wireless charging case technology. For control, touch panels are provided on the right and left earbuds, compatible with iPhone. It also supports working with the Siri voice assistant. There is no discomfort when wearing, but the noise reduction system raises questions.

However, you can close your eyes to it if you look again at the cost of production. A serious disadvantage is four hours of battery life, while the original Apple headset lasts almost three times longer.

Advantages:

• the cheapest headset presented in the article;
• wireless charging case;
• Full compatibility with iPhone, including work with the Siri assistant;
• touch control panels on the left and right sides;
• ease of landing.

Flaws:

• small reserve of autonomy;
• The noise cancellation system doesn't always work well, but it makes up for it with cost.

Xiaomi AirDots Pro 2

Despite the fact that almost three years have passed since the presentation of Xiaomi AirDots Pro 2, the model still remains relevant and in demand on the market.
Moreover, experts and users say that Xiaomi AirDots Pro 2 is almost the only serious competitor to the original AirPods line from Apple. The sound quality here is premium. The headset is fully compatible with all iPhones. The quality of noise reduction is excellent.

True, the only problem is that once every few weeks users notice a sudden connection loss. Although the drawback is present, it cannot be called serious.

Advantages:

• premium sound;
• excellent autonomy;
• light weight;
• excellent fit;
• Full compatibility with Apple technology.

Flaws:

• the connection may be broken;
• The headphones are large in size, which may not appeal to every buyer.

Realme Buds Air

Realme has already gained trust among smartphone owners, and now it’s time to enter the wireless headset market.
The Buds Air model is traditionally very similar to AirPods, but there are a number of differences, including the size and plane of the barrel. The square case is made of plastic. There are three color options to choose from – black, white and yellow (case and headphones). There is a control button and an indicator light on the headset body.

The headphones are protected according to the IP54 standard. Bluetooth fifth generation is responsible for synchronization. There is a voice sensor that allows you to control the operation with your voice. The sound quality is quite good.

Advantages:

• ease of landing;
• voice control;
• several color options for the case and headphones;
• Bluetooth fifth generation.

Flaws:

• only 4 hours of battery life;
• The case gets scratched quickly, so it is advisable to spend extra money on purchasing a protective case.

Apple AirPods Pro

The new product supports the sharing function, thanks to which several people can listen to music from one playback source at once.
Dynamic reproduction technology is responsible for deep bass and high-quality reproduction of high frequencies. There are two microphones, as well as a chipset responsible for servicing the voice assistant. However, compared to other company products, the battery life is short.

Advantages:

• Full compatibility with any Apple smartphone;
• high-quality microphones;
• deep sound;
• sharing function;
• stylish flagship design;
• ease of landing.

Flaws:

• high price;
• short battery life compared to analogues from the line.

Klipsch knows how to make a decent pair of affordable in-ear headphones. While 2021's audio products featured the award-winning R6i II, Klipsch's latest version, the T5M Wired ($73), is even better. Not only are they very comfortable, but they are also very musical and enjoyable to listen to.

Marshall Major III Bluetooth

Wireless on-ear Bluetooth headphones at an inexpensive price.

Meizu Pop 2

Some users highlight the second generation of Meizu Pop as the best Chinese wireless headphones now for all iPhones. An affordable price and excellent build quality make this product popular among wireless music lovers.

Thanks to the shape calculated by the engineers, even with stock ear pads, the pair fits perfectly in its place. Those who switch from mechanical buttons will have to get used to the controls a little to get rid of false positives. The sensor works when pressed once as a pause or “Play”, and a “Double” click on the left is “track back”, a similar operation on the right is “track forward”. When holding, control the volume (on the left – sound down, on the right – sound up).

IMPORTANT. The sound on Meizu Pop 2 is much cleaner and more pleasant than that of most competitors comparable in price and output characteristics.

The music device can be connected not only to phones, but also to computers. The microphone does not stand out with any parameters. The manufacturer assures that the charge autonomy is enough for 8 hours; in practice, this value can be achieved with the new kit under ideal conditions. The device supports Bluetooth 5 and maintains a good connection with the iPhone.
