Rating of wireless in-ear headphones 2022. TOP 3
1. Marshall Minor II Bluetooth (10 thousand rubles)
The best wireless earbuds earn this spot thanks to their excellent sound, lack of outside noise, and durable wire.
There are many additional features here, so this gadget is quite useful and interesting for modern users.
2.Apple AirPods (13 thousand rubles)
Many people's favorite compact wireless headphones from the popular Apple brand are focused on products from the same manufacturer, although they can also be connected to devices on the Android platform.

#2 - Apple AirPods
Price: 12,000 rubles
Bestseller and one of the leaders in our rating. Apple has once again amazed the market with its creation - the AirPods headphones are completely worth their price. In-ear headphones fit perfectly in the ears and provide excellent sound. They perform especially well at mid frequencies, where AirPods have virtually no competitors. The noise reduction of the headphones is at the highest level, making it possible to listen to music comfortably even in the noisiest places. Each of the headphones is equipped with a special microphone, and the system itself determines which one is best used for speech transmission. Thanks to sensors, the music automatically stops when the earphone is pulled out of the ear.
Of course, the developers gave preference to the audience with gadgets from Apple. Owners of Android devices will have to settle for slightly worse sound quality, since the SBC protocol has a bandwidth that is lower than Apple's A2DP. However, without a doubt, AirPods are the best wireless headphones currently available on the market. Apple AirPods review.
