David & David tested 13 pairs of earbuds to bring you an unbiased review of the best earbuds of 2021. We tested 13 pairs of earbuds including the Bose QuietComfort Noise Cancelling Earbuds, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2, AirPods Pro, Google Pixel Buds, and Jabra Elite 75t.

Some manufacturers took liberties with the word "wireless." Several of these earbuds have wires, and some of those wires are very long. Others don't call them earbuds at all — they're "in-ear headphones."

We didn't expect to hear a large disparity in sound quality, but there are a few wireless earbuds that clearly stand out as the best in 2021. There are also some earbuds that sound so bad it's almost impressive.

It became clear that expensive does not equal good when you're comparing earbuds. Some of the less expensive options sounded much better than their counterparts in the upper-middle pricing tier.
