With so many wireless earbuds on the market, finding the best wireless earbuds for iPhone can be a challenge.

Here’s a look at the best options for iPhone users in 2025.
Best earbuds for Apple iPhones
Here are all the top options.
– Apple AirPods (4th generation) with Active Noise Cancellation
– OnePlus Buds Pro 3
– Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro
– CMF (Nothing) Buds 2 Pro

Apple AirPods (4th generation) with Active Noise Cancellation
Leading the charge is the Apple AirPods (4th generation) with Active Noise Cancellation, priced at Rs 17,990. As expected, Apple’s offering delivers seamless integration with the iOS ecosystem, providing effortless pairing and intuitive controls. The active noise cancellation is a significant upgrade, effectively blocking out ambient noise for an immersive listening experience. However, the premium price tag may be a deterrent for some.

OnePlus Buds Pro 3
For those seeking a balance of performance and affordability, the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 at Rs 10,900 present a compelling option. They boast adaptive noise cancellation, adjusting to your surroundings for optimal sound isolation, and an impressive 43-hour playback time. The IP55 dust resistance adds to their durability, making them suitable for active lifestyles.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, priced at Rs 19,999, offer a feature-rich experience, including active noise cancellation, IP57 dust and water resistance, and 360 Audio. However, since the Samsung Galaxy Wearable app is not available on the Apple App Store, iPhone users may miss out on some customisation features, making them less ideal compared to AirPods.

Ultimately, the best wireless earbuds for iPhone depend on individual preferences and priorities. If seamless iOS integration is paramount, the Apple AirPods are a clear winner. However, if value for money and feature-rich performance are key considerations, the OnePlus and Nothing options present compelling alternatives.
It is important to remember that when using Android based earbuds with an iPhone, some features will be missing. Before making a purchase, consider your budget, desired features, and how you intend to use your earbuds.
