Most of us are thinking about our new year resolution; 2022 is near. Personally, I have been thinking about starting sports, and I was thinking about what are the best wireless earbuds.
The Vista 2 is the latest version of the Vista, which was formerly our top selection for “best overall” wireless earbuds for running. They were just introduced in June 2021. The Vista 2 is very identical to its predecessors in appearance, but Jaybird improved them in nearly every manner. They offer noise-cancelling and transparency modes, longer battery life, and are even more durable; the Vista 2 has an IP68 rating (rather than IPX7), which means they are entirely dustproof and waterproof. The charging case has also been improved (IP54 rating). The Vista 2 comes with a companion app that lets you alter the EQ settings, much like the previous model.
The UE Fits are unique among wireless earphones in that they provide a totally customized fit. They employ Ultimate Ears’ Lightform technology, including built-in LED lights and a large gel-filled ear tip on each earbud. You put the earbuds in your ears, link them to your smartphone, and then use companion software to start the personalized moulding process. The LED lights heat the gel, and the earbuds are properly shaped to fit in your ears after 60 seconds and cannot be unmolded. The UE Fits don’t offer many extra features, but if you want wireless earbuds that will fit perfectly in your ears, these are the ones to get.
The Beats Fit Pro is the company’s newest sport-focused wireless earbuds, set to be released in late 2021, and they have a lot of similarities with Apple’s AirPods Pro. They share the same H1 chip (which allows them to quickly link with any iPhone), active noise suppression and transparency modes, and spatial audio with dynamic head tracking. They sound almost as wonderful as they look. The main difference between the Fit Pro and the AirPods Pro is that the Fit Pro has a new flexible earwing tip design that helps them remain in your ears longer. The only significant drawback is that they don’t have a wireless charging case.
The updated AirPods — also known as AirPods 3 — were released in late 2021 and are Apple’s mid-tier wireless earphones. They have quite a similar design to the AirPods Pro, but they don’t have the same silicone ear tips. Therefore they don’t fit as well in your ears. They also lack noise-cancellation and transparency settings that are active. They do, however, offer spatial audio (Dolby Atmos) and come with a wireless charging case. These new AirPods, unlike the entry-level AirPods, feature IPX4 water and sweat-resistant rating, making them suitable for running and workouts. The only major disadvantage is that the AirPods Pro is still the superior option for most people, and they’re not that much more costly because they’re generally reduced.
Also, Beats just announced the Beats Fits Pro ($200), a new set of wireless earbuds with a fresh design and more functionality. Because they’re both created by Apple and use the same H1 chip that makes pairing with an iPhone simple, the Powerbeats Pro is identical to the AirPods Pro. The huge ear hooks that grab and hold the earbuds in place will be especially useful for runners. The unrivalled nine-hour battery life is unrivalled, with up to 20 additional hours from the carrying case. Yet, the carrying case is enormous, making devices less than ideal for regular use. However, they’ve been around for quite some time, and you can usually get a pair for approximately $150. (or less).
