In-ear vacuum headphones are compact, but at the same time provide fairly good sound quality when listening to music. However, the time of wired devices is gradually becoming a thing of the past. They are being replaced by Bluetooth headphones, which can be connected to the phone using the Bluetooth wireless protocol. They are more expensive than wired ones, but they are much more convenient to use. In addition, they have a longer service life, since breakdown due to wire breakage is simply excluded. To make it easier for the reader to choose a device, we have prepared the top 10 wireless in-ear headphones for phones in 2021 and 2021.
How to choose wireless in-ear headphones (plugs)?
When choosing plugs, you should pay attention to several important factors:
- Manufacturer . You should not buy a no-name Chinese device. Such devices often work unstably (for example, they take a long time to connect to a smartphone, spontaneously disconnect from it, or turn off completely). Yes, they will always be cheaper than branded gadgets. But believe me, the problems associated with using them are not worth the money saved. In addition, such devices often do not have very high-quality sound.
- Price . It’s definitely not worth overpaying for a famous brand - most of the price will have to be paid for the advertised name. However, you shouldn’t buy gadgets that are too cheap either. Most likely, they will have poor quality and too low reliability. And they won't last long for you. Therefore, there is no need to chase savings and purchase a device for up to 1000 rubles - using it is unlikely to bring you pleasure.
- The range of frequencies transmitted by the speakers . Everything is simple here: the wider the frequency range, the better and more natural the sound is reproduced. The optimal range for inexpensive headphones would be from 10 Hz to 20 kHz.
- Battery . Like any wireless device, earplugs have their own battery. The higher its capacity, the longer they can work in autonomous mode without recharging.
- Ergonomics . The device should be comfortable, fit your ears, not cause discomfort when used, and be light enough. Please note that there are replaceable rubber inserts. If there are three or four of them in a set, then you won’t have to select the size: it can be adjusted by changing them.
- Overall workmanship . When choosing, you need to study the overall quality of its workmanship. All elements of the device must be tightly fitted to each other, no traces of glue should be visible, the connecting wires must be thick enough not to tear and remain intact.
- Radius of action . This is the distance the device can move away from the smartphone. In most cases it is ten meters. This is quite enough for comfortable use. You should not buy gadgets with a range of less than eight meters - in this case, you will find yourself tied to your phone.

Initially, they press quite hard, but at the same time they jam the surroundings. You can bend the arm a little with your hands (lightly, not too hard), then they will stop pressing, and they will sit normally, but they will no longer dampen the surroundings. For some, the latter is a minus, but for me, a paranoid person, it’s a huge plus - no one will sneak up behind you unnoticed. The sound, considering the price, is quite normal. Please note that these are not headphones for 40 thousand, or even 5 thousand. The price is one and a half thousand. At the same time, previous similar models (out of production) served me for more than 5 years, and only because I could not find replacement ear pads for them.

I used these headphones for more than a year, the speakers did not shrink during that time, the color did not deteriorate, I bought new ones on Yandex.Market because my brother tore the old ones when he drove over a chair on wheels. I used headphones on the computer while playing Apex legends, mainly, they can clearly hear the steps of enemies, the bass of the approach of a landing ship in the distance is perfectly conveyed... Without them, the game became torture, other headphones or the position of the enemy incorrectly convey, or are very deaf, or very noisy, in general without them there was only suffering. Also, everything is beautifully packaged in the box: headphones, waste paper, ear pads. As for my native ear pads, I can’t say yet whether they are good or not, because I use purchased ones from Ali.

I’m not talking about it, I just like listening to music, I really liked the headphones, I had previously listened to cheap headphones that cost less than 2k rubles, but then I took the 40x and I liked them very much, after reading the reviews I decided to take the 50x. If you compare it with the inexpensive ear models that I listened to, then these ears, no more, no less - just a new world! Everything is very detailed, the scene (positioning of sounds in space), almost all the music listened to previously sounds new, so many new things appear that I had not thought of before. I was also very surprised at how different low purities can sound, although high purities are not far behind. If we talk about sound, then the ears are fire, but about everything else it’s a matter of taste. If we compare it with the 40s, then in the 50s the scene is brighter (positioning of sounds in space), the lows sound better and, in general, more detailed. But 40x ears are also good, if for some reason you can’t take 50x, then 40x is also worth taking, but if you like a lot of lows (sometimes not even justified) perhaps they are not for you.

The mids, and the vocals in particular, are just a little lacking in openness; I didn’t try to fix them with an equalizer. They are light, fit elegantly (!) in the ears, are very tight and are practically not felt. A slight emphasis on the bass is heard, they play with a “fat” 40-100 Hz. The highs don’t “pop”, even deathgrind at a fairly high volume doesn’t turn into mush, all blasts are easy to read. Sound insulation is good for such a passive device and weight, apparently the material and design of the silicone earbuds have an effect.

I consider the switch for the second, bass mode to be a whistling trick in its purest form; my ears already have great bass.

I encountered this problem, I like the earphones, but the problem is with the sound, it involuntarily decreases when the wire with the microphone moves. (As I already understood, this is a problem with Xiaomi phones of modern years) I have a note 10pro, Android 10. As I decided, I installed the “button mapper”, tried to find the headphone microphone key separately, but still finds it as the volume_down key (25), which corresponds to the volume down rocker key. I only managed to block the “single press” volume control item. Everything seems to be working, but if you want to turn down the volume, you have to press (press) the rocker.

The headphones are excellent, especially if you snag them here at a discount of 6-7 rubles. The sound is biased towards the lower register, they play honestly, evenly, and they will definitely play what is on the recording. Bass can be a bit excessive, especially on poorly mixed tracks. The high frequencies are not tiring, they are quite clean, with a good source there are no “clicks” or sibilants, but perhaps they could have been “airier.” I really like the middle, as for me the vocals are clear and expressive. Subbass is present in the headphones, but without revelations. As a result, based on the totality of all +/- headphones, they are universal, without obvious jambs, and should suit everyone. Some of the complaints from comments on the network, such as a jammed scene or suitable only for monitoring, I think are exaggerated. Of course, you need to listen through a good player or DAC with at least 200 mW of power; don’t be fooled by the “speakers” of your phone or computer. As a conclusion, they are quite excellent for listening to music, playing, watching movies and YouTube.

It's Jbl!!! We only use headphones from this company and we don’t use any others. Our whole family has headphones from this company (some people like wired ones, some like wireless ones). I always wear wired ones, because... I listen to the radio the old fashioned way through my phone, not through apps. The only fly in the ointment... when talking through them, the interlocutor is not particularly comfortable, a crackling sound is heard, but this does not cause any inconvenience to me, I calmly disconnect the headphones, speak and connect them again.

For the price, the best sound, and good sound in itself. They are lightweight, you can leave them on for a long time and neither your head nor your neck will get tired. Despite the external similarity with the HD180, these are not the same headphones, as for some reason many on the Internet write. The sound on the 206s is a little bassier, but overall it’s still quite clear, they don’t give any “gags”. Whoever listened to senhi once will recognize the sound
