The Best Headphones of 2020 _ Sony, Apple, Sennheiser

**The Ultimate Guide to True Wireless Earbuds and Over-Ear Headphones**

Are you looking for the best true wireless earbuds or over-ear headphones that fit your budget? Look no further. We've got you covered with our expert analysis of the top options in both categories.

**True Wireless Earbuds: Amazon Echo Buds**

Bucks they are a no-brainer, get them next! Let's talk about the best true wireless earbuds and our choice might surprise you. Right now, we're going with the Amazon Echo Buds. Yes, I know there are far better sounding true wireless earbuds and if you want to spend a lot more go for it, but we like these because they are true Wireless buds that everybody can get behind and most can afford at just $130. You get solid sound quality, Bose noise reduction, good call quality, and well-average battery life at about 5 hours with another 15 hours of charging coming from the case. For the price, you can't beat this feature set.

**A Close Second: Samsung Galaxy Buds+**

A close second in my opinion is the Samsung Galaxy Buds+. They have insane 11 hours of playtime for charge and decent sound in a very compact design. However, they don't sound as good as Amazon spuds, but they get the job done and they're also only $150.

**Apple EarPods Pro: The Best for iPhone Users**

Next up are the Apple EarPods Pro, which are the best buds for iPhone users. But honestly, if you have the money and can wait to get a pair since they are chronically out of stock, do it because they are awesome. The active noise-cancelling is best in its class, they are pretty comfortable, battery life is about average, and the sound quality is more than acceptable. I actually like it just fine; audiophile grade, no that's for the next set of buds, but overall these are some of the highest performing pair of true Wireless buds you can get right now and for most folks, they take all the right boxes.

**Sony WF 1000XM3: For Serious Sound Lovers**

If you're serious about sound, I mean you want the best sound you can get from a pair of wireless buds with decent battery life and really solid noise-cancelling, then you want to look at the Sony WF 1000XM3. These are luxurious and like I said, the sound quality is fantastic. So if that's your number one requirement, buy with confidence. Oh, and you'll need about $200 bucks for the pleasure, which is a lot of buds but how about some full-size cans?

**Full-Size Can: Sennheiser HD 650**

Well, for music lovers we're all about the Sennheiser HD 650, which you can also get from Mass Drop as the HD 6x X for $200. These things sound amazing; it's everything you expect from Sennheiser in the sound quality department for a shockingly low price. They are open-backed headphones, so not the best pick for office use people will hear what you're listening to, but the open back design allows for extremely Airy transparent and open sound with solid base and a mid-range that is so pure you'll feel like you're hearing your favorite singers for the first time.

**Kids' Headphones: Pierrot Sound Labs Pierrot Quiet Cans**

Got kids? Get them these! The Pierrot Sound Labs Pierrot quiet cans are not only protective of their ears but also shut out the outside world with active noise-cancelling, all in a kid-sized wireless headphones. They come in three colors and they sound great, and they're a hundred bucks - I mean what more do you need?

**The Best Over-Ear Headphones: Sony WH 1000XM3**

For the best of the best this may come as no surprise as they top a lot of headphone lists; they are of course the Sony WH 1000XM3. Right now, you can get them for about $300 and the best endorsement I can give them is that they are my personal favorite. I take these everywhere I fly a lot, the noise canceling is outstanding, the sound quality is fantastic, the battery life is excellent, there's almost nothing I don't like about these - one thing that tends to disappoint people is that they only connect to one device at a time, and this pigtail charging cable is virtually useless.

**Honorable Mentions: Bose ANC 700 and Workout Headphones**

If you're a hardcore business type who takes a lot of phone calls with your headphones, you might want to check out the Bose ANC 700. They are super comfy, they sound great have excellent noise cancelling but most importantly, they do phone calls really well - the Sony's just aren't that great. Also for workout headphones, check out the Jlabbe Epic Air Sport or the Jabra Elite Active Smartbuds, both of which offer great performance and style.

There you have it! The ultimate guide to true wireless earbuds and over-ear headphones. Whether you're looking for sound quality, comfort, or convenience, there's something on this list for everyone.
