Apple's 2025 in-ear ANC earbuds. They offer the H2 chip, new foam-infused tips in five sizes, an optical heart-rate sensor for workouts, hearing aid and hearing test features, and up to 8 hours of battery with ANC on. Tests rate the noise cancelling and battery highly; the fit does not suit everyone, some owners report static on flights, and most features need an Apple device.

Pixel Buds Pro 2 are Google’s noise-cancelling in-ear earbuds built around its own Tensor A1 chip. They offer an 11 mm dynamic driver, ANC with Silent Seal 2.0, in-ear pressure relief, Bluetooth 5.4 and multipoint, with 8 hours of battery with ANC on and 30 hours with the case. The earbuds are IP54, the case IPX4 with Qi wireless charging. In independent testing ANC-on battery life came very close to Google’s figure; owners praise the fit and sound, noting that fit varies by ear and touch controls can be inconsistent.

The Galaxy Buds3 Pro are Samsung’s 2024 in-ear wireless earbuds. They drop the round design of earlier generations for a stem design with a light strip, and offer adaptive active noise cancellation, a two-way driver and SSC UHQ audio up to 24 bit/96 kHz with Samsung phones. Independent testing found the noise cancellation strong and criticised that many features only work with Samsung devices. The problem owners mention most is silicone ear tips tearing when changing them.
