Best Wireless Earphones or Earbuds under $250 in 2025

Question

What is the best (true) Wireless BT earbuds in 2025?

As more and more phones now come without a dedicated 3.5mm Audio Jack, it's not surprising that wireless audio devices are starting to become more popular. True Wireless earphones (abbreviated as TWS) are also now common as Apple Airpods have ignited a new trend & styling.

Some of the things you need to consider apart from their sound quality:

  • Battery life of both the charging case and earbuds
  • Size of the charging case
  • How well the buds fit in your ear, comfort, could you wear it while jogging or exercising
  • The quality of the microphone for clearer phone calls
  • Active noise cancelling or passive noise isolation
  • Water resistance (for sweaty workouts)
  • Whether they support your device's Find My Device network

  • Suggested Beats Studio Pro

    Beats Studio Pro — paid $150 for noise cancelling + Find My device.
    Honestly, the most underrated product I’ve bought lately. 🔥

    Suggested Shokz OpenRun

    The Skokz Open Run are actually none conduction so ideal for those that still want to be able to hear what is going on around them and not walking around the city in isolation.
    I use them all day for work meetings, as well as Spotify on tu he way to and from work. Bonus is that I can have a conversation with someone without having to take them off and when walking in the city I can hear the traffic.
    Both listening and microphone are clear and I can normally get 2 days per charge. App let's you connect to 2 devices, shows charge remaking and allows you to tweak the settings.
    Also works well whilst cycling.
