Wireless headphones are one of those ideas that sounded like a dream at first: put a little headset in each ear and listen to music or take calls without being tethered to anything. The first wireless buds were gigantic, died after a few hours, and had a bunch of other issues. The times have changed. There are tons of new models that sound fabulous and work great. After testing dozens over the past four years, these are our favorite wireless earbuds, in a wide range of styles and price points.
