Here we reviewed 4 of the top earbuds with noise reduction features.
– Bose QuietComfort 20
Users could expect the best from Bose when it comes to audio equipment and noise canceling. In fact the first headphones equipped with noise canceling were produced by Bose. QuietComfort 20 earbuds are durable, good sounding and very comfortable along with the main sound cancellation feature.
There are two versions of these earbuds available: one for iOS devices (also known as 20i) and the other for Android phones and tablets.
The noise cancellation (both passive and active noise canceling (ANC) combined) offered by Bose QuietComfort 20 is very high quality compared to similar products in the market. And for situations such as crossing the street, which the user ought to be careful, the noise cancellation function could be turned off through the ‘aware mode’.
Soft silicon have been used to make the tips of these earbuds, hence wearing them is comfortable even for long periods of time. Another great feature is that in order to prevent them from easily falling out, they could be secured to the ears by their hooks. The battery life is about 16 hours.
These earbuds are in black and white colors and could be bought for $299 from Amazon.

With its top-notch noise cancellation features, Apple’s AirPods Pro raise the bar for audio technology. These cutting-edge earphones significantly reduce background noise so the user may concentrate on the audio material. The AirPods Pro ingeniously exclude unwanted noise and adjust to the shape of your ear, providing a personalized, improved listening experience. They have both inward-facing and outward-facing microphones.
The AirPods Pro’s ‘Transparency Mode’, which works similarly to Bose’s ‘aware mode’ and lets users tune back into their surroundings when necessary without taking the earphones out, is one of their notable features. They are therefore a secure and practical option for people who enjoy making calls or listening to music on the go.
The AirPods Pro are designed with comfort in mind, and come with three sizes of soft, flexible silicone ear tips to ensure a perfect fit for every user. Furthermore, the Adaptive EQ adapts music to the shape of your ear for rich, consistent sound quality. The battery life is also notable, lasting up to 24 hours with the charging case. The AirPods Pro are available in a sleek white appearance for $249 from Apple or other authorized retailers.
If you are an Apple user looking for an immersive sound experience, the AirPods Pro with its advanced noise-canceling technology is undoubtedly one of the best options available in the market.
Apart from that, there are various parts you can get as spares in case something happens. User often look for high-quality Apple replacement parts that are perfectly compatible with their device. These include replacement ear tips, charging cases, and even single AirPods in case one gets lost.
– Phiaton BT 220 NC
Although cheaper than the previous item in our list (Bose QC 20), but that doesn’t mean they don’t come with great noise canceling capability and sound quality. The NFC capability of these earbuds makes it easy to pair with devices equipped with NFC technology. There is also an option to connect through Bluetooth as well.
There is a similar version of these earbuds with fewer features named PS 210 BTNC. That model might be more suitable for those looking for even cheaper noise canceling products.

The cheapest item here is Sony MDR-NC31EM which is a good choice for those having Sony phones or tablets since the noise canceling functions is provided through the device.
