So, if you want to listen to your favorite music on a headphone or earphone, you’ll have to look somewhere else. Like the good old days, phones today rarely pack headphones or earphones, and the OnePlus 7 Pro is one of them. With the inclusion of Bluetooth 5.0, it makes sense to invest in a premium pair of earphones to experience immersive audio. We have compiled the best Bluetooth wireless earphones for the OnePlus 7 Pro. Let’s take a look.
1. OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2
The OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2 offers a battery life of 14 hours on moderate volumes, which is great. If you use them sparingly, they can easily last you around 3-4 days. And to add to it, you get the advantage of Warp Charge 30 power adapter which takes about 20 minutes for a full charge. Just 10-minute charging buys you about 10 hours of playback time. That’s awesome. Connection and re-pairing are instantaneous. Since these are in-house products, you can also play around with the audio settings. We have been using these earphones for a while now and can safely say that the sound quality is up to the mark. The bass is rich and you can rest aside worries of outside noise distracting you with a proper fit. The buds are paired with wings which helps them to stay anchored to your outer ear. Overall, it’s a good product to invest in, as long as you do not mid the neckband design. My only gripe is that the magnetic tips are a tad weak.
2. 1More Stylish True Wireless In-Ear Headphones
The 1More Stylish packs Bluetooth 5.0 and promises solid connectivity. The audio output is clear and the bass heads will be happy as these the output falls on the bass-heavy spectrum. The battery life is great for the price with the Stylish promising you a battery life of around 6.5 hours on a single charge. Unlike the OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2, these buds can be recharged even when you pop them in the charging case. On the other hand, the charging case is powered by a 410mAh battery that yields a battery life of around 17 hours. However, this 1More pair does fall short in a few departments. For one, they do not have any IP rating, which makes them incapable of using in the gym or for jogs. Secondly, there have been a few reports of the earbuds’ connection faltering, so you have to watch out for that.
3. Bose Soundsport Free
Bose is known for delivering better sound quality, and the SoundSport Free earphones are no different. This audio quality is clear and is accompanied by a pronounced bass. All the controls rest on the buds, making it easier to control the volume or change the music tracks. And yeah, the buttons offer a decent tactile feedback. On a single charge, these earphones get you around five hours and the charging case cram a charge for two cycles more. These truly wireless earphones are a tad bulky and tend to stick out from ears.
4. Jaybird Vista
The Jaybird Vista packs 6mm drivers which in turn delivers rich and balanced sound quality and is accompanied by deep bass. Unlike its previous generation which was notorious for its bad Bluetooth connection, the Jaybird Vista earbuds deliver a consistent and strong audio connection with minimum drops. Coming to the battery life, these buds promise a battery life of 6 hours with an additional 10 hours provided by the charging case. As per most reviewers, they live up to their claim. Though they do not have active noise cancellation or sound transparency features, you may want to consider buying these buds solely for their compact form factor and great audio quality.
5. Apple AirPods Pro
These are the first Apple earphones to boast of active noise canceling (ANC) and the ANC kicks in once you put both the earbuds in your ears. As per the folks at Digital Trends, the ANC works brilliantly. Aside from that, the sound quality is exceptional with a well-rounded bass and crisp and clear output. The details of songs are well preserved and you won’t miss a beat or a minor detail. However, as an Android user, you must make a few sacrifices. For one, you won’t be able to tweak the default settings of your AirPods Pro. Also, you’ll miss out on features like Audio Sharing, Battery Level indication, and Fit Level. Thankfully, that can easily be resolved via a few apps on the Play Store, which can help to remap the functionality to Google Assistant. The noise cancellation and audio transparency feature work as expected. If these are sacrifices that you are not willing to make, head off to the next cool product.
6. Sony WF-1000XM3
Moreover, these are Sony earphones, and you can expect great audio quality on these buds. These earphones deliver a clear sound signature with thumping bass. And the folks at The Guardian put it, “The WF-1000XM3 produce the sort of sparkling audio that allows you to hear new things in longtime favourite tracks.” Aside from the above, the WF-1000XM3 bundles ANC (active noise cancellation) and a pair of noise-canceling mics to improve the performance. This pair filters out most of the ambient noise, meaning you can enjoy your music minus distraction. The folks at Digital Trends believe that the ANC in both the Apple AirPods Pro and the WF-1000XM3 are nearly indistinguishable. Note that these wireless earphones do not support the high-quality codecs like aptX, aptX HD, or Sony’s proprietary LDAC.
