  • Best Wireless Headphones and Earbuds of 2025 (so far)

    Best Wireless Headphones and Earbuds of 2025 (so far)
    2025/07/05
    In this episode, William Jennings, our Senior Headphones and Portables Editor, dives deep into the wireless headphone and earbud game. He'll name-drop his top picks for 2025 and share his thoughts on where this market is headed.

    The good news? Bluetooth and noise cancellation are finally living up to their promises, and the sound gap between wired and wireless is closing fast—especially in the high-end stuff. Whether you're stuck on Sony or Bose, or willing to drop some serious cash on Focal or Bowers & Wilkins, or just wondering if wireless really can stack up to the wired heavyweights—this episode's got the answers. Get ready to feel the burn on your wallet, but at least the sound won't suck.

    Thank you to Bowers & Wilkins and SVS for their support of our programming!
