Apple Active Noise Cancelling Touchscreen Earbuds ANC

37.4 Travel Score
in-ear ANC 4.5h +24h case
Why we recommend this

The earbuds differentiate with a smart touchscreen charging case that displays EQ, volume, and battery levels while leveraging Bluetooth 5.4 and 13mm graphene drivers for active noise cancellation. A secondary strength is the case-powered 24-hour total battery life and ENC noise reduction for calls, though call clarity scores remain modest at 52.1 out of 100. These are best for casual listeners seeking a phone-free interface and basic ANC at a budget price, rather than fitness enthusiasts or those demanding high-fidelity call performance.
