    Tested as the Android pick thanks to LDAC and strong noise cancelling, but testers disliked the awkward fit, flimsy case and high price.

  2. 83est.
    The IndependentNo printed score · Buying guide

    Picked as the best earbuds for noise cancellation, the tester found detailed, clear sound and exceptional ANC, with the best audio when ANC is off.

    Gear PatrolNo printed score · Buying guide · 2024

    Described as a clear upgrade over its predecessor, with better noise cancelling, sound and a smaller, more comfortable fit, and nearly level with Bose for the best ANC earbuds.

"Est." means the outlet printed no score, so we estimated one from its verdict and checked our estimates against ratings outlets print. How we check estimates
