Unlike AirPods, Beats Studio Buds+ are designed to have more advanced features that are compatible for both iPhone and Android users, rather than favouring Apple products. It’s known for a bass-heavy sound and while the latest buds are more subtle than some earlier Beats cans, there’s still plenty of bass here.

The charging case also now comes with Find My capabilities, that is, you can use your iPhone to find it when you misplace it and the case can even make a noise to help you locate it. Apple claims it can quell twice as much noise now, and in practice it works brilliantly. While the noise-cancelling was already among the very best in any in-ear headphones, it’s noticeably better here. A faster chip in the earbuds has also helped improve the sound quality. Plus, when you pair them with an iPhone, a near-instantaneous process, the phone can play a sound that tells it if it’s a good fit. In fact, it uses the camera on the iPhone to work out what you can hear best from the way your ear looks and can adjust the audio accordingly. The small earbuds fit the ear well and stay put securely and there are now four sizes of silicone ear tips to ensure decent sound isolation. The new in-ears from Apple take a successful design and leave it almost intact, but add considerable internal improvements. The audio sounds even better with noise-cancelling off, but Sony’s ANC is exceptional, so you’ll probably want to keep it on most of the time. However, there are other earbuds here with more bass, if that’s your thing. What really stands out, though, is the sound quality, with a level of deft clarity and forensic detail that makes every part of the music soar, from vocals to mid-range and bass. Meanwhile new touch controls mean it’s easy to change volume, noise cancellation and more with simple gestures and touches. A bone conductor sensor knows when you are talking, and can pause the audio as a result – which is great unless you’re singing along to your music, in which case you need to turn this feature, called Speak to Talk, off. In terms of looks, the new design is as slick and premium as before. The new headphones are 25 per cent smaller and 20 per cent lighter than their predecessors, though the driver is quite a bit bigger, which helps with audio quality. The latest buds somehow manage to outdo the already splendid WF-1000XM4 (which are now discontinued). Sony’s in-ears are astonishingly good, beating all newcomers for sound quality. You’re most likely to use wireless earbuds with your phone, laptop or tablet, and some earbuds are smart enough to switch seamlessly between devices, as you need them to. Yet more have extra features, such as built-in voice assistants that can answer your questions, send messages and turn up the volume. Others build on this with electronic help, called active noise cancellation (ANC). Some fit so snugly into your ears that they keep the outside world out by a process of noise isolation. True wireless earbuds, as they’re called when they don’t have any wires at all, are lightweight and often offer great comfort. Now, they’re more portable than ever, and in-ear headphones offer the highest level of portability, fitting comfortably inside your pocket. But ever since smartphone manufacturers started ditching the headphone jack on their handsets, headphones and earphones have gone wireless. There was a time when using headphones meant having to be permanently tethered to your phone, constantly untangling cables as you go.
