Wireless earbuds have become nearly as important as smartphones in our lives, especially after different brands began killing the 3.5mm headphone jack on most of their phones. There are hundreds of thousands of earbuds on the market, priced according to the features they have to offer. While affordable earbuds are popular and sell like hot cakes, many buyers who wish to experience premium features, such as active noise cancellation, go for more expensive earbuds.
We have handpicked some of the best active noise-cancelling earbuds that you can buy right away in India. These earbuds are not only touted for their noise-cancelling abilities, but their design and sound quality are also among the best you could find on the market. Brands such as Sony, Samsung, and Oppo have interesting options and today we are going to tell you which one it is that you should go for if you are willing to spend up to Rs 10,000.
However boring and uninspiring the name of Sony’s top-class earbuds sounds, the WF-1000XM3 are one of the best pairs, if not the best, to experience active noise-cancellation. The uniquely-designed Sony WF-1000XM3 comes with Dual Noise Sensor Technology that, with the help of the company’s Q1Ne chip, can cancel even the harshest sounds coming from your surroundings. This feature also lets you talk to people using the transparency mode. The earphones have 6mm drivers inside, belting out clear and crisp audio. Since the earbuds are supported by Sony’s mobile apps on both Android and iOS, you are just a tap away from customising the WF-1000XM3.
The Sony WF-1000XM3 was available at Rs 9,879 at the time of writing.
Samsung’s Galaxy Buds have been among the best earbuds for a long time. They not only have a premium design, but their features are mostly on par with what you would expect from earbuds at those prices. Continuing with that tradition, the Galaxy Buds Pro come as great value for money. Taking a detour from Samsung’s bean-shaped design — which was used on the Galaxy Buds Live, the Buds Pro has the good old in-ear design, which is good for noise isolation. That makes up for a better active noise-cancelling experience that Buds Pro has to offer. You get three modes, including the transparency mode that lets you talk to people without having to remove the earbuds. The ANC on these earbuds suppresses most noises, giving you a good audio experience.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro were priced at Rs 9,990 at the time of writing.
OnePlus entered the personal audio segment very late, but its entry was surely recognised, thanks to its appealing products. The OnePlus Buds Pro is among those products. OnePlus’ earbuds have a fancy design and a top-class audio quality. But they are equally good at cancelling out noises. The ANC on the OnePlus Buds Pro is capable of subduing harsh sounds from your surroundings, just so you can focus on that podcast or listen to music without disturbance. Apart from ANC, the OnePlus Buds Pro also offer features such as Warp Charge, LHDC support, and Dolby Atmos support.
The OnePlus Buds Pro TWS earbuds are priced at Rs 9,990 but you can buy them for less with offers on the company website.
Just like OnePlus, Oppo’s Enco X goes big on design and features. They are much sleeker than the OnePlus Buds Pro and look very similar to the AirPods Pro. The Enco X comes with good active noise-cancellation that not only cancels out noises but also the sounds of winds gushing. An interesting feature of the Enco X is that the earbuds will immediately activate noise cancellation on either the right or the left side as soon as it identifies a sharp sound of a horn, just so your ears do not have to suffer. The Enco X also has a premium audio quality, powered by Danish audio brand, Dynaudio. The Oppo Enco X might as well be the flagship killer in the world of earbuds.
The Oppo Enco X earbuds cost Rs 9,990 and come in Black and White colours.
