Apple recently caused a stir by removing the headphones jack from its iPhone 7 and 7 Plus smartphones, a trend that could soon spread to other manufacturers and which will no doubt boost sales of Bluetooth headphones. Here are three pairs of wireless headphones promising some of the best performances in their fields.
NOISE-CANCELING CAPABILITY
The Bose QuietComfort 35 are ultra-high-performance noise-canceling headphones that can completely cut off users from their surrounding audio environment at the push of a button. Bose’s built-in technology constantly monitors and analyzes noise in the wearer’s surroundings to cancel it out by emitting opposite signals. Onboard NFC and Bluetooth connectivity make this model a breeze to connect. The battery promises up to 20 hours of music per charge. The Bose QuietComfort 35 headphones sell for $349.95.
BLUETOOTH ON A BUDGET
There’s no need to spend top dollar to get a decent pair of Bluetooth headphones, especially when it comes to in-ears. The Sony MDR-ZX330 BT, for example, are both light and comfortable to wear and offer 30 hours’ listening. These Sony headphones also have a built-in remote for controlling tracks and volume or for picking up calls hands-free. The Sony MDR-ZX330 BT headphones sell for $99.99.
RIGHT FOR RUNNERS
Jabra’s Sport Pace earbuds are above all designed for sporty users, but sweat and moisture resistance makes them handy for long walks or for sunbathing at the beach, for example. As well as bringing a soundtrack to sporting activities, the Jabra Sport Pace can help optimize training sessions thanks to the accompanying Jabra Sport Life application. The reflective cord also promises to boost the wearer’s visibility in low-light conditions. The Jabra Sport Pace earbuds sell for $99.99.
