True-wireless earbuds continue to improve with each passing year and we’re seeing more and more wireless earbuds that deliver very good sound — and even some budget earbuds that sound surprisingly decent. We’ve included some of those best-sounding budget earbuds on this list, but the majority of earbuds that produce really top-notch sound tend to be a little pricey (and sometimes very pricey).
Though there are some exceptions, the best-sounding wireless earbuds also tend to be on the bigger side and may not fit some ears. To get optimal sound quality — and bass performance, in particular — it’s crucial to get a good fit and tight seal, so finding a set of buds that fit your ears securely is imperative. Great-sounding earbuds can end up sounding not so great if you don’t have the right-sized ear tips and the right fit.
This list is updated regularly as new models come out.
