While Apple is best known for laptops, smartphones, and tablets, they also make sleek headphones with a minimalist design. Their headphones are geared toward people who already use Apple products and fit into the ecosystem seamlessly. Their lineup isn’t very extensive, and they have limited functionality on Android, but they effectively deliver the simple yet premium user experience that Apple is known for.

The Apple AirPods Max Wireless are the best Apple headphones we’ve tested. These sleek and premium over-ears have an outstanding active noise cancelling (ANC) feature, which can reduce bass-range noise like bus or plane engines, ambient chatter, and higher-pitched sounds like the hum of an AC unit.
They also have a sleek aluminum design that feels well-built. Their neutral sound profile offers a touch of extra thump and rumble that fans of EDM and hip-hop will especially enjoy. They also have a continuous battery life of over 21 hours, and Apple advertises that a five-minute quick charge can give you up to 1.5 hours of additional playtime, though we don’t currently test this feature.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to turn them off, and when you put them in their carrying case, they enter a low-power mode. The carrying case is mediocre, as it’s only a sleeve that covers the two ear cups. It’s by design, meaning you can use the headband as a carrying handle. While they use premium materials like aluminum and silicone, the mesh screen surrounding the headband seems fragile and prone to damage, especially if you use the headband as a handle. They’re a suitable choice if you’re looking for sleek Apple headphones that deliver a powerful noise cancellation performance.

The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation) Truly Wireless are the best Apple earbuds we’ve tested.
These earbuds are the updated version of the Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless and offer similar overall performance with some improvements. Their ANC offers better overall performance, so they do an excellent job of reducing noise during your commute or at the office. By default, they have a warm sound profile suitable for various genres and types of content. The manufacturer advertises their ‘adaptive EQ’ to adjust their sound profile based on the buds’ fit and your ear shape. They also have a ‘Spatial Audio’ virtual surround sound feature to create a more immersive listening experience. They lack customization features like an EQ.
They have a comfortable and stable fit for long listening sessions. They don’t leak a lot of noise, either, so you can crank up the volume without annoying those around you. The earbuds’ onboard controls now provide clicky feedback and include a volume function, which the original model lacks. Their roughly 5.9 hours of continuous battery life is a small improvement over the previous generation’s, although the case now holds four charges instead of five.
On the plus side, the case has a U1 chip that allows you to find it using the ‘Find My’ app if you misplace it.

If you’re looking for the best of Apple’s more affordable offerings, look at the Apple AirPods (2nd generation) Truly Wireless. While they aren’t cheap, products in the AirPods line-up are more budget-friendly than the AirPods Pro models. They have an open-back design and lack ANC, so they aren’t well-suited for use in noisy places. The 2nd generation AirPods are also missing some features compared to the newer 3rd generation, like button-type controls, adaptive EQ, and support for Apple Music’s ‘Spacial Audio’ Feature, but they have a smaller in-ear profile and more comfortable fit for most users, which give them a leg up over their successor.
While their sound lacks bass, they have a very accurate mid-range response well-suited for content like podcasts or classical music.
They have an h2 chip for easier pairing with other Apple products and low latency with iOS devices, so you won’t notice audio lag while watching a video on your iPhone. They block out virtually no ambient sound, but that can be a plus if you like to stay aware of your surroundings when walking around. Unfortunately, at around four hours, they have the shortest battery life of all the products listed here. That said, they come with a small case that holds five extra charges. If you want to avoid running out of power or want a less expensive option, the Apple EarPods are basic, cheap, wired earbuds. Like the AirPods, they don’t block out ambient sound and don’t reproduce much bass, so they work best for content like audiobooks.

Compared to other brands
-
Seamless integration with Apple devices.
Apple’s wireless headphones all feature their W1/h2 chip, allowing them to pair seamlessly with your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. You can also purchase their wired earbuds with a Lightning cable instead of a regular audio cable for compatibility with newer iPhones that don’t have an audio jack. -
Compact yet comfortable earbud and in-ear options.
All their models are ultra-compact and super portable. The Airpods and AirPods Pro have a lightweight earbud design that makes them barely noticeable once in your ears. The over-ear Airpods Pro Max are also quite comfortable on the head. -
Open-back and closed-back models available.
Apple is one of the few brands with open and closed-back earphone options. While the open-back EarPods and AirPods aren’t great if you’re looking to block out noise while traveling or listening to bass-heavy music, many people prefer the extra awareness they help provide.
-
Few customization options.
Apple prides itself on delivering a simple, intuitive user experience, but this comes at the expense of customizability. Many high-end headphones have many customizable features, like EQ options, room effects, or even different Bluetooth codecs. However, Apple’s wireless headphones only provide basic features if you pair them with your phone, like ANC on/off and button mapping. -
Mediocre controls.
Since Apple’s headphones are designed with their other products in mind, their controls generally aren’t fully compatible with products from other brands. Some important functions, like volume control, are missing from some of their truly wireless models—you’re expected to use Siri instead, which isn’t always very convenient.
Apple vs Bose
Bose and Apple are strong competitors in the world of premium in-ears and often trade first and second place on most “best of” lists. While Apple’s headphones offer seamless integration with the rest of the brand’s product ecosystem, Bose provides more variety in its lineup, with better customizability and a top-of-the-line active noise cancellation (ANC) system that’s made them a go-to for peace and quiet. However, they lack other Apple-exclusive features, like Spacial Audio and Adaptive EQ. For more info, check out our article on the best Bose headphones.
Apple vs Sennheiser
Sennheiser and Apple both produce premium earbuds for everyday use. However, Sennheiser has a greater variety of products. You can find everything from affordable gym earbuds to audiophile-standard over-ears, all of which have great sound quality and come with a wide set of features. However, their earbuds’ design and controls aren’t as intuitive as Apple’s. You can see more info on this brand in our article on the best Sennheiser headphones.
Apple vs Google
Google and Apple both manufacture earbuds intending to pair seamlessly with other products in each brand’s respective ecosystem. As a result, Google’s buds are a little less pricey than Apple’s and feel slightly less premium in their build. However, they’re more customizable and come with a graphic EQ and presets via the companion app. Ultimately, your preference depends on which ecosystem you’re already subscribed to.
Apple vs Bowers & Wilkins
Bowers & Wilkins and Apple are two very different companies. Bowers & Wilkins is a dedicated audio manufacturer. They produce high-end speakers and headphones for audiophiles and home cinemas. Apple produces a wide range of consumer electronics that create a tech ecosystem. While both produce high-end headphones, Apple’s tend to have better battery life and more robust controls. Neither of these companies offer sound customization settings for their audio products.
Apple makes compact, portable earbuds and in-ear headphones suitable for casual, daily use. They’re comfortable and easy to use with other Apple products. With the addition of the over-ear Apple AirPods Max Wireless, they’ve also set themselves apart from their competitors by using premium build materials. Unfortunately, the company’s commitment to simplicity results in mediocre controls and a lack of customization options. Their lineup is small, and most of their products look more or less the same. They have open and closed-back models, which is rare for a brand with such a small lineup.
Lineup
Apple’s headphones lineup is relatively small. They offer one pair of over-ear headphones and one pair of wired buds. The rest of their limited selection are premium wireless in-ears sold under the AirPods name, which have a few notable subcategories:
- AirPods – Apple’s lowest-cost earbuds. Open-back, rigid plastic build that fits in your inner ear. No extra features.
- AirPods Pro – Closed-back premium in-ear lineup. Plastic frame with a silicone tip that fits in your ear canal. They feature ANC, Adaptive EQ, and support Spatial Audio via Apple Music.
- AirPods Max – Premium over-ear headphones. Minimalist plastic and metal build with customizable ear cup shells.
They feature ANC, Adaptive EQ, and support Spatial Audio via Apple Music.

Conclusion
Apple are known for their commitment to simplicity—things should “just work” without complex features or unnecessary user intervention. They don’t have many models in their lineup yet, but the headphones they’ve released fit the company’s vision and perform well overall. Their headphones have sleek, minimalist designs and tend to sound pretty decent. They can also be pricey, especially the more feature-packed models, but their wired earphones are cheap.

Our website displays products that are automatically imported from allegro.pl and translated into Russian.
Since we are not the seller of the product displayed on our site, we cannot have all the information about a particular product. Additional information about the goods can be found in several ways:
1. Read the description in detail. Usually all the necessary information is in the official description on the lot page.
2. If the information you are interested in is not in the description, you can ask the question directly to the seller. He will respond to you within one business day.
3. If you have a rich experience of surfing the Internet, you may be able to find information about this product in various forums and other Internet resources using global Internet search services.
4. If you do not speak the language or do not want to clarify the information for any other reason, please contact us – we will be happy to help you. In order for us to ask the seller a question, place an order and write down your questions in the comments to the product. During the day we will make a request to the seller, comments will appear in your personal account.
1.Search by keywords, check the catalog on the left
Suppose you want to find a headlight for AUDI, but the search engine returns a lot of results, then you will need to enter the exact make of the car in the search box, then in the list of categories that is on the left, select a new category (Auto Parts – Car Parts – Lighting – Headlights headlights). After, from the presented list, you need to select the desired lot.
2. Shorten the query
For example, you need to find the front right fender for KIA Sportage 2015, do not write the full name in the search box, but write the fender KIA Sportage 15 . The search engine will say “thank you” for a short, clear question that can be edited based on the search engine’s results.
3. Use similar combinations of words and synonyms
The system may not understand any combination of words and translate it incorrectly. For example, the query “computer desk” has over 700 lots, while the query “computer desk” has only 10 lots.
for example, looking for glass on your smartphone, you need to score “glass on xiaomi redmi 4 pro” and not “glass on xiaomi redmi 4 pro”.
5. Write abbreviations and abbreviations in English
If you give an example, the phrase “bmw e65 hub” will give no results due to the fact that in e65 the letter e is Russian. The system does not understand this. In order for the automation to recognize your request, you need to enter the same thing, but in English – “BMW e65 hub”.
6. Few results? Look not only in the title of the ad, but also in the description!
Not all sellers write the necessary search parameters in the ad title, so use the search function in the ad description! For example, you are looking for a turbine and you know its number “711006-9004S”, insert the number into the search box, select the “search in description” checkbox – the system will return much more results!
7.
