Not solely are the Beats Match Professional (9/10, WIRED Recommends) top-of-the-line exercise buds for Apple customers, they’re top-of-the-line on a regular basis buds, interval. They’ve squishy ear ideas and stylish fins (which may be just a little large for smaller ears, sadly). They’ve the Apple H1 chip and pair seamlessly with Apple merchandise, however in addition they have an ideal app for Android that features one-touch pairing, personalized controls, and a match check.
The noise-canceling works extraordinarily nicely, and you may click on on a bodily button on the buds to pause and let ambient noise in. The sound signature is remarkably sculptured, in line with WIRED affiliate editor Parker Corridor, that means you possibly can take pleasure in music in all genres, motion pictures blended in Dolby Atmos, and get great-sounding Zoom calls. Most necessary, not like lots of our different picks, they arrive in a signature Beats-style eye-catching purple (they now additionally are available in coral, pink, and blue). I additionally wholeheartedly suggest Beats’ previous, and now cheaper, Powerbeats exercise buds; they work reliably after years of heavy use.
★ Apple Different: When you should have Apple-branded buds, go for the AirPods Professional (9/10, WIRED Recommends). They’re IPX4-rated so that they’re sweat-resistant, and the sound high quality, match, and battery life have all improved through the years. I particularly like that they now have a speaker, so you possibly can ping them if you’ve misplaced them at your desk or underneath the sofa. Nevertheless, I nonetheless do not discover the match as safe as any of the Beats headphones.
