The best headphones and headsets of the year

 

We have the definitive guide with the 10 best Bluetooth headphones of 2024 so choosing the ideal one is a simple matter.


Bluetooth headphones and headsets are essential accessories today. Although years ago we could only choose between a few models, nowadays we find so many types of wireless headphones available that it is necessary to choose appropriately. Headphones accompany us on all our journeys and trips, and also when we want to isolate ourselves from the environment to enjoy our music. 


Our selection features devices that blend innovation and quality. From industry-leading noise cancellation to high-quality audio playback, our list highlights the best of the best in sound. The best brands are present, as expected. These are our top ten headphones and headsets of the year.

 

Top 10 Best Bluetooth Headphones of 2024: Sound Quality Above All

1. Nothing Ear (a) 

 

Add a touch of color to Christmas with these yellow headphones from Nothing that are as striking as they are efficient. You will also find them in white and black, although yellow is undoubtedly the most original. In addition to their in-ear format with an isolating pad, the Nothing Ear (a) has intelligent active noise cancellation of up to 45 decibels, and an 11 mm diaphragm, an unusual size for such small headphones. They weigh very little and their ergonomic design fits firmly in the ear.

2. Sony CH520 

 

Sony's CH520 are the perfect over-ear headphones for getting started with wireless. They are very affordable, but despite that, they do not neglect sound quality. To do this they have a technology called DSEE that improves audio quality by restoring frequencies. Their multipoint connection allows them to be connected to two devices at the same time, such as a television and a smartphone without having to disconnect from one of them first, and thanks to their battery we can use them for up to 50 hours without interruption.

3. JBL Endurance Race

 

If you like listening to music while you play sports, you must choose suitable headphones that are protected against oxidation. The JBL Endurance model is designed for training and thanks to its IP67 protocol it is resistant to dust and even to submersion under water up to one meter deep. However, they cannot be used for swimming. Their holding fin and the brand's Twist Lock design allow us to have a firm grip and use them in impact sports without fear of losing them. They will provide us with 10 hours of battery life plus an extra 20 from the box.

4. Vieta Pro Double

 

The Vieta Pro Double is one of the most affordable True Wireless earphones you'll find with active noise cancellation. They're a good start to try out this technology and see if you're convinced by the audio isolation, as it's not capable of canceling out as much ambient sound as other brands. Although they're not sports earphones, the Vieta Pro Double resists oxidation caused by sweat, so we can use them while playing sports, even though they don't have specific support for it. Its 33 hours of total autonomy (including that provided by its carrying case) offer us enough time to enjoy our favorite music without having to charge them every so often.

 

5. Sony WH1000XM5

 

The WH1000XM5 is a benchmark in the headphone sector and today they have practically no rival concerning their capacity for acoustic isolation. If you have not tried them, I recommend that you do so, because the sensation of silence is unique. They are very comfortable, and despite their weight, the design is perfectly ergonomic and we can use them for a long time without discomfort, up to a maximum of 30 hours that their battery is capable of providing. Its compatibility with high-resolution audio, the ability to adapt noise cancellation to the environment, the definition and clarity of the microphones for calls, and the comfort of its controls are just some of the advantages of one of the best headband headphones currently available.

6. Sony WF1000XM5

 

Although it's easy to confuse them with their older siblings due to the similarity in name, the Sony WF1000XM5 is the slimmed-down version of Sony's over-ear headphones. If you're looking for the best active noise cancellation in the smallest passive size, these Sony True Wireless are the solution. The integrated V2 chip is responsible for processing the audio at 24 bits, offering very high quality for such a small size, and reducing sound distortion even at very high volume. It is compatible with the high-resolution LDAC codec and its DSEE technology can analyze the audio signal, restore frequencies, and optimize quality in real-time.

7. Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds

 

The American brand is another benchmark in the design of high-end headphones, and these Ultra Earbuds are the direct competition of Sony's True Wireless. With a very similar price but a completely different design, Bose's Ultra opts for a very short stick format, preferable in my opinion, at least aesthetically. The sound quality is the usual for the brand, with a prominent presence of bass as Bose usually prints in all its products, and with an immersive projection that offers a unique listening experience. The ergonomics of the Ultra Earbuds are taken care of in detail, and in their box, we will find various sizes of tips and stabilizing bands to adapt them safely to our ears.

8. JBL 760

 

Regardless of the quality of the noise cancellation of True Wireless headphones, the reality is that headband headphones, thanks to their circumaural format, offer much more efficient natural isolation. In the case of the JBL 760, we can also activate active cancellation, and despite this, we can get a battery life of 35 hours, which will be extended up to 50 hours if we deactivate it. Its large diaphragm can reproduce a wide spectrum of frequencies, prioritizing the lowest ones, and we can pair it with our Android devices in an instant thanks to its Fast Pair function.

9. JBL TOUR PRO 3

 

The JBL Tour Pro 3 are the most original True Wireless headphones in this selection and the only ones that integrate a screen in their smart charging case. Without needing to use our smartphone, from the smart charging case we can pause or restart playback, skip tracks in our playlist, equalize the sound, or even share the sound with another nearby Bluetooth device. Regardless of the originality of the charging case, the Tour Pro 3 offers excellent sound quality and mounts two drivers, one for high frequencies and one for low frequencies, achieving very good definition. Its compatibility with special audio allows you to convert stereo tracks into an immersive experience that will modify the sound projection depending on the position of your head. They have adaptive and configurable sound cancellation and offer a battery life of up to 44 hours.

10. BOSE QC SC

 

It would be impossible to make a list of the best headphones this year without including a pair of circumaural headphones from Bose. The American brand is the only one that can compete on equal terms with Sony and the cancellation of its flagships. The QC SC is configurable, and we can choose between complete isolation, aware mode to be able to hear the environment without taking off the headphones, or different customizable modes in which to adjust the cancellation to our liking. The free Bose App allows us to equalize the sound and adapt it to our preferences, configuring bass, treble, and midrange.
