Best Bluetooth Wireless Earphones in India (November 2024)

The world of TWS earphones has evolved a lot. What started as a novelty product for the ultimate geeks and early adopters of technology has now become a necessity for most. There have been multiple factors that have contributed to this change, with the biggest ones being the changing work environments and the removal of 3.5mm headphone jacks from smartphones. Almost all the top of the line smartphones today are being sold without a headphone jack and the same trend can be seen trickling down into the lower budget segments as well. This makes buying a pair of wireless earphones or headphones necessary if you want to consume audio video content on your device or hands free calls. And, with the onset of work and study from home culture, the trend of hands free calling has picked up speed like never before. Also the fact that bluetooth wireless earphones have gone down in price, while still maintaining a decent level of quality and performance is something is reassuring too. This change has been a result of the combined interest of the consumers and the manufacturers to have the best products in the market at reasonable prices. Now, the market is full of great options to choose from, and the consumers are faced with the problem of plenty when doing their research about what earbuds they should buy for daily use. So, if you are someone who is looking for bluetooth wireless earphones in India, then you are in the right spot. Here we bring to you our list of the best bluetooth wireless earphones in India.

The best TWS earbuds available in the market, the Sony WF-1000XM5, came out on top in the Best Performing Premium TWS earbuds category in the Digit Zero1 Awards 2023. They comprehensively outperformed all the earbuds in their weight class and below. Be it in terms of sound signature, ANC, or the size of the buds, Sony has left no stone unturned to make sure that the successor to the already popular Sony WF-1000XM4 is nothing but an improvement, which might tempt the people who already own the 1000XM4 to go for an upgrade. The microphone performance and the app with all its customisations and quality of life features addition makes these earbuds a pleasure to own and use.

Sony consistently makes some of the best ANC audio devices on the market, rivalled by few others, and the newest Sony WF-1000XM4 is no different. The Sony WF-1000XM4 is simply one of the best noise-cancelling truly wireless earphones money can buy. It has dethroned the Sony WF-1000XM3 to take up this spot at the time of launch. Apart from excellent ANC performance, you get impressive sound quality with LDAC, AAC and SBC codec support, an excellent companion app, great battery life and microphone performance, and so much more. The only two drawbacks are the missing multipoint connectivity support and the fit. This pair of TWS earphones would be our blind recommendation to anyone looking for high end earphones.

The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro from Samsung are one of the best pairs of TWS earphones to have been released by the brand. These buds outperform their competitors in most respects. The battery life is a place where we would have wanted to pack a bit more into, but in day to day use you won’t find this to be a menacing issue. The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro makes for a great pair of earbuds if you are looking for a pair of TWS earbuds that fit and perform well in day to day use, while not putting as big of a dent in your bank balance as some other entrants in this list.

Sennheiser made tons of improvements to their top shelf Momentum True Wireless launch of bluetooth earphones with the launch of the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3. These earphones scream of being from the house of Sennheiser from the moment you plug them into your ears. They have an open and detailed sound signature, great noise cancellation, premium build and design, and support for Qi wireless charging. The only areas where they lag behind is battery, lack of EQ bands, and a bulky charging case. The size of the charging case pricks us every time we see the battery dissipating faster than we expected it to on these earbuds.

If we were to name a pair of TWS earphones that took us by surprise this year, it would be the Oppo Enco X2. Priced at ₹10,999, this pair of earphones stood its ground against some of the pricier ones in the market that have established their presence with their excellent sound and build quality. Their ANC saw an improvement over their predecessor and LDAC and multipoint connectivity support meant that these earphones impressed the folks at the Digit Test Centre at an instant. However, the lack of a customisable EQ and poorly placed pressure controls held back these from becoming our instant favourites.

The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II is the company’s third attempt at a pair of true wireless earphones, and they’re a lot better than its predecessor, the Quiet Comfort Earbuds and the Soundsport earbuds. These earphones come with improved design, better noise cancellation and good sound quality. The noise cancellation on these earbuds is regarded by many to be the best in the market. The earphones are one of the few on the market that can give tough competition to the Sony WF-1000XM5 when it comes to Active Noise Cancellation, however, Sony has it beat when it comes to overall sound quality and customisations. The earphones are supremely comfortable to wear and they also look like a good mix between classy and sporty. The earphones are definitely on the more exorbitant side, but for those who can afford to spend the asking price, there’s little that could disappoint you.

If you thought that the first gen AirPods Pro were the best pair of TWS earphones for Apple users, then you will be pleasantly surprised with this new generation of AirPods Pro. They bring plenty of improvements over their predecessors in terms of the features, while also improving upon the sound quality that the first gen AirPods had to offer. Even the battery life has seen a bump. All of this comes at the same launch price as that of the last generation AirPods Pro which makes them a decent option for folks who are tied into the Apple ecosystem.

The OnePlus Buds 3, priced at Rs. 5,499, are lauded for their excellent fit, robust features, and well-rounded sound across most music genres. They offer a comfortable fit and great build quality for the price. Despite some issues with the ANC and microphone in noisy environments, the earbuds are considered a solid contender in the ₹5,000 budget segment. The Buds 3 have implemented learnings from the flagship OnePlus Buds Pro 2, keeping alive the brand’s philosophy of offering the best products for the lowest amount of money possible. The Oppo Enco Air 3 Pro is seen as a tough competitor to the OnePlus Buds 3. Overall, the OnePlus Buds 3 are a pair ready to take on earbuds priced almost twice as much.

Jabra Elite 5 TWS earbuds are the brand’s latest entry in the market, competing with some of the mid-range heavy weights. With these earbuds, Jabra has provided a combination of a limited but well implemented feature set and performance. The hybrid ANC baked into these earbuds works like a charm for the most part, and the equalisier that is present in the app makes sure that you can tune the sound of these earbuds to your liking, if you, like us found it to be slightly off balance. In terms of their battery life as well these earbuds make a strong case as they come packing with six and a half hour batter life on the earbuds, with the total battery life, with the case coming to around 26 hours, which is a lot! These are one of the best earbuds to get your hands on around Rs 15,000, with the only outright winner in this price range being the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, which honestly are in a league of their own.
