Best Truly Wireless Headphones – January 2018

These are probably some of the cheapest, truly wireless earbuds on the market right now, coming in at under $50. But these do work with Bluetooth 4.2, and battery life is only around 2 hours depending on what you’re doing with them. There is an included case which can charge them around 3-4 times. But the battery life isn’t spectacular here, and that is why these are cheaper.

Now if you’re wanting a pair of truly wireless earbuds that can last the longest on a single charge, JLab has you covered. The Epic Air can last 7 hours on a single charge, and with the included charging case, you can get an additional 30 hours of playback. Which is industry leading, but the sound quality is also on point with the JLab Audio Epic Air.

These are some of the more expensive ones out there, but definitely worth the money. The Jaybird RUN are smaller earbuds, but they are made for runners. So that means that they are not going to fall out of your ears when you are running and working out. Additionally, these can get around 4 to 6 hours on a charge and with the included carrying case, you can get another 12-16 hours.

Jabra has been in the truly wireless game for quite some time, and the Elite Sport have garnered a good reputation in the industry. These offer all the same benefits as others on this list, but it can also track your workout, and tell you how many calories you’ve burned and such. These provide about 4.5-hours of playback and the included charging case will get you another 9 hours.

Bose finally jumped into the truly wireless game late last year, with the SoundSport Free. Now these are some of the more expensive models on this list, but definitely worth taking a look at. As expected from Bose, these do offer up some incredible sound quality, and also have some impressive battery life. The earbuds themselves will last you around 5 hours on a charge, with the battery case giving you an additional 10 hours. And these come in a few different colors including black, blue and red.

JBL also joined the truly wireless revolution late last year, with the JBL Free. These are actually pretty cheap, coming in at around $150 (normally) and offer that iconic JBL sound that you’ve come to expect from JBL’s products. These offer up around 5 hours of battery life on a single charge, and with the included battery case, you can get another 10-15 hours of charging.

SOL REPUBLIC has a great pair of truly wireless earbuds here, which offer up great sound and even have a built-in equalizer, so you can get even better sound. The battery isn’t that great, lasting around 3 hours, but that should be long enough for a gym or running session. The included case can charge these about 15 times, so there’s plenty of juice to keep you going for a while here.

This is Samsung’s second version of the Gear IconX, which are its truly wireless earbuds. These aren’t just earbuds though, these can also track your workouts, and has a coach built-in, to help you go further in your workouts. You’ll get 5 hours of battery life when streaming over Bluetooth, but the Gear IconX does have 4GB of storage for storing music offline, and when playing locally, battery life is improved to 7 hours.
