(Pocket-lint) - For the past few years, Beats by Dre has been part of Apple's family, which means it gets access to some of Apple's tech, while Apple - in return - gets a fashionable audio brand. Show
With the Powerbeats Pro, that means you get the same H1 chip inside the earphones to make pairing with iOS devices super simple. It also helps optimise battery consumption, and manages switching between the two separate earbuds, and the "Hey Siri" support.
With that said, Beats is positioning itself as a brand that makes headphones for everyone. Even Android users. It doesn't want you to think it's only a good option if you have an iPhone. For the Powerbeats Pro, that means you can pair them with any phone, not just iPhones, and still get the benefit of long battery life, great audio and a comfortable fit. Download the appYour first step - which didn't exist when Powerbeats Pro first launched - is downloading the Beats app to your phone. It's available for free on the Play Store and will allow you to monitor your battery life and access a few key features
How to connect Powerbeats Pro to your Android phoneAs you'd suspect, actually pairing the earphones to your Android phone is much the same as any other pair of Bluetooth earphones or speakers.
Once you've gone through the pair step, you might see an option to allow access to your contacts/phones, which you'll need to make and receive calls. Now, the phone and Powerbeats Pro are paired. What features do you get after pairing Powerbeats Pro to an Android phone?Once paired, you'll get all the basic features you'd expect from a pair of wireless earphones connected to your phone.
The one feature you don't get when paired with an Android phone is the "Hey Siri" support. Because, of course, Android phones don't have Siri. While you couldn't monitor battery levels to begin with, the app now allows you to do that. You can accurately check your battery level and even have it show up in a drop down notification widget when the earbuds are connected and the app is installed.
Best wireless headphones 2022: Top Bluetooth options from Sony, Bowers and Wilkins, Bose and more By Conor Allison · 23 June 2022 Whether you're searching for on-ear or over-ear, favour top-end features or your wallet, we've tried them all. Thankfully, the Powerbeats can go for up to 9 hours outside the charging case, so battery life is never going to be a worry. Writing by Cam Bunton. Almost every major phone has transitioned away from the 3.5mm headphone jack, requiring owners to use Bluetooth headphones or a USB-C-to-3.5mm headphone adapter if they want to listen to music, podcasts or anything else. That includes owners of Galaxy S20 or Note 20 phones (or the earlier Galaxy Note 10 series). Popular Apple-centric models such as Apple AirPods and the Beats Powerbeats Pro work just fine with Galaxy phones, but if you want the best earbuds for Samsung devices, you might want something built with Galaxy devices in mind. Since many of the iOS-geared options are pretty well-known, we're highlighting models that are more platform-agnostic or even have a tilt towards Android phones -- making them perfect Bluetooth headphones for your Galaxy device. We'll keep updating this list of best wireless earbuds and headphones for Samsung phones as we try out new models.
 Battery Life Rated up to 8 hours Noise Canceling Yes (ANC) Multipoint No Headphone Type Wireless earbuds Water-Resistant Yes (IPX2 -- sweat-resistant and protection against light splashes) Say what you will about the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live's bean-shaped design, but they might just be the most innovative new true wireless earbuds of the year. Like the standard AirPods, they have an open design -- you don't jam an ear tip into your ear -- and they're quite comfortable to wear and fit my ears more securely than the AirPods. That said, they won't fit everybody's ears equally well. These wireless buds are discreet and basically sit flush with your ear without a little white pipe extending out from them. They deliver good sound and work well as a headset for making calls, with good background noise reduction so callers can hear you clearly even when you're in noisier environments. While they feature active noise canceling, it's mild compared to the noise canceling in earbuds that have a noise-isolating design. In other words, buy them for their design and sound, not their noise-canceling features. Water-resistant: Yes (IPX2 rating -- sweat-resistant and protects against light splashes).

Angela Lang/CNET Battery Life Rated up to 11 hours Noise Canceling Yes (ANC) Multipoint No Headphone Type Wireless earbuds Water-Resistant Yes (IPX4 -- splash-proof) Samsung's Buds Plus look essentially the same as the original Galaxy Buds, but their battery life is rated at 11 hours for music playback (up from six) and they pack dual drivers for better sound and an additional microphone in each bud to help with external noise reduction while making calls. I was impressed with the sound. It's detailed and smooth, with deep, well-defined bass. The sound is richer and more spacious than that of the original Galaxy Buds. Well-respected Austrian audio company AKG, which Samsung acquired when it bought Harman, is behind the audio. While the original Buds were also "tuned" by AKG, these are a nice upgrade over the originals -- and right there with what you get with the Jabra Elite 75t, if not even a touch better. They use Bluetooth 5.0 and support AAC (there's now an app for iOS users) and Samsung's scalable codec, which is similar to aptX but is proprietary to Samsung Galaxy phones. Thanks to their noise-isolating design, these do sound a little better than the Galaxy Buds Live. But there are advantages to both designs, so take that into account when you're trying to decide between them. I personally tend to use the Buds Live more than the Buds Plus (yes, I have both). Water-resistant: Yes (IPX4 rating -- splash-proof). Read our Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus review. You're receiving price alerts for Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus (Black)
David Carnoy/CNET Battery Life Rated up to 7 hours Noise Canceling Yes (ANC) Multipoint No Headphone Type Wireless earbuds Water-Resistant Yes (IPX7 -- can be submerged for 30 minutes up to 1 meter) The Mpow X3 wireless earbuds sound shockingly good for their low price of $60, with good clarity and powerful bass, and they even have active noise cancellation that's fairly effective. Mpow seems to be regularly tweaking its earphones, and the X3 earbuds were briefly taken off Amazon, before returning with an update. "The new version upgraded the volume control and optimized its active noise-canceling function and call effect," the company told me. "It also added the supersoft ear caps, which [are] more comfortable to wear for a long time." They did fit me comfortably and securely, and I got a tight seal from one of the sets of XL ear tips. They're fully waterproof (IPX7) and get up to seven hours of battery life at moderate volume levels with USB-C charging. (The charging case looks like a fat version of the standard AirPods case.) Call quality is good -- they have a sidetone feature that lets you hear your voice in the earbuds -- but I've used other earbuds with better noise reduction during calls. I noticed a touch of audio lag when I streamed a YouTube video but no problems when streaming iTunes movies. The touch controls take some getting used to -- they're a little wonky -- and it didn't help that the instructions in the box seemed to be for the old X3 model. (I found the current instructions online, which helped me figure things out.) Aside from a few minor downsides, Mpow's X3 earbuds are a great value. Water-resistant: Yes (IPX7 rating -- fully waterproof).

Juan Garzon/CNET Battery Life Rated up to 30 hours Noise Canceling Yes Multipoint Yes Headphone Type Over-ear wireless headphones Water-Resistant No IP rating Sony's earlier WH-1000XM3 model was great. But if it had a weakness, that was its voice-calling capabilities, particularly in noisier environments. The new WH-1000XM4 has improved in that area and also adds multipoint Bluetooth pairing so you can connect to two devices -- such as your phone and PC -- at the same time. That means that if a call comes in while you're using the headphones with your computer the audio will switch to your phone when you answer the call. The Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 probably still have a slight edge for voice calls, but the 1000XM4 headphones are arguably a tad more comfortable and also have some other slight improvements to noise cancellation and sound that make this model a great all-around choice. Water-resistant: No (lacks IPX certification) Read our Sony WH-1000XM4 review. You're receiving price alerts for Sony WH-1000XM4 (Black)
Sarah Tew/CNET Battery Life Rated up to 20 hours Noise Canceling Yes (ANC) Multipoint Yes Headphone Type Over-ear wireless headphones Water-Resistant No IP rating The Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700, the long-awaited successor to Bose's QuietComfort 35 II model, may not be a quantum leap forward, but these headphones offer slightly better sound and noise cancellation along with top-notch headset performance for voice calls. They're a strong all-around audio performer with up to 20 hours of battery life and a more durable design than their predecessor (some find the QuietComfort 35 II headphones slightly more comfortable). At launch, they cost $400, but they've come down in price a bit, and when they're on sale they've got pricing parity with the new Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones, their closest competitor.

David Carnoy/CNET Battery Life Rated up to 7 hours Noise Canceling Yes (ANC) Multipoint No Headphone Type Wireless earbuds Water-Resistant Yes (IPX4 -- splash-proof) The second-generation Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 aren't cheap. However, this true wireless earphone option is better all around than the original, with a slightly smaller, more comfortable earbud design, great audio quality, active noise canceling that rivals that of the AirPod Pro, improved battery life (up to seven hours versus the original's four) and better noise reduction during calls. If you don't like these active noise cancellation earbuds in black, a white version of the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless earbuds is available now to buy. Most importantly, though, the Momentum True Wireless 2 have the same great sound -- for true wireless earbuds, anyway -- offering clearly superior sound quality to the AirPods Pro. That makes them arguably the best true wireless earbuds on the market today and earns them a CNET Editors' Choice Award. These Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless earbuds use Bluetooth 5.1 with support for the AAC and AptX codecs (for devices that have AptX like Samsung's Galaxy smartphones). Water-resistant: Yes (IPX4 rating -- splashproof). Read our Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 review. You're receiving price alerts for Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 (Black)
Battery Life Rated up to 7.5 hours Noise Canceling Yes (ANC) Multipoint Yes Headphone Type Wireless earbuds Water-Resistant Yes (IP55 -- protection against low-pressure water streams) At first glance, the Elite 75t, which were originally supposed to cost $200 but now sell for $180 (and sometimes less), seem more like an evolutionary upgrade from the highly rated Elite 65t. But the updates turn out to be a little more substantial than I first thought, especially now that you can add noise canceling via a firmware upgrade. The Elite 75t's smaller size (the buds and case are 20% smaller than the Elite 65t's), their boosted battery life and USB-C charging are significant upgrades. Then there are the smaller changes, like the new charging case design with magnets inside that make it easier to open and close and to keep the buds inside. While the Elite 75t aren't quite as comfortable to wear as the AirPods Pro, they do sound better, with clearer overall sound and better bass audio quality definition, so long as you get a tight seal. The slightly more rugged Elite Active 75t is also available for about $20 more, but with the new Elite 85t arriving we should see some sales on the Elite 75t. which has been out on the market a while. Water-resistant: Yes (IP55 rating -- can withstand heavy sprays of water). Read our Jabra Elite 75t review. You're receiving price alerts for Jabra Elite 75t (Titanium)
Sarah Tew/CNET Battery Life Rated up to 6 hours Noise Canceling No Multipoint No Headphone Type Wireless earbuds Water-Resistant Yes (IPX7 -- can be submerged for 30 minutes up to 1 meter) Jaybird got off to a bumpy start in the world of true wireless -- that's "AirPods-style headphones" -- when it released its Jaybird Run workout headphones back in October 2017. That model, updated to the wireless in-ear Jaybird Run XT in 2019, was well designed but had some small performance issues that held the wireless earbuds back from being great. But its wireless successor, the Jaybird Vista (cue the Windows Vista jokes), includes design, battery life and performance improvements that make it the device I'd hoped the Jaybird Run would be. At $180, the Jaybird Vista with its bigger battery is a little more expensive than it should be, but it was one of the better true wireless headphones to hit the market in the year 2020. These AirPods alternatives will especially appeal to those looking for a more discreet set of totally wireless workout headphones that offer full waterproofing. A companion Android app allows you to tweak the sound. Water-resistant: IPX7 (fully waterproof) Read our Jaybird Vista review.
