The iPhone X is a gorgeous phone, but like its 2017 littermates it doesn’t come with that all-important headphone jack. That means you’re going to have to rely on the bundle USB-C to 3.5mm adapter, USB-C headphones or the subject of our blog today: Bluetooth headphones for the iPhone X. Here are five of the best options on the market!
5. Plug N Go Sports Bluetooth Headphones
Our first recommendation for the iPhone X are these Plug N Go Sports headphones. They provide excellent connectivity using Bluetooth 4.1, while integrated controls on the back make it easy to take calls, skip tracks or adjust the volume. You get four hours of talk or playback time with these headphones, or up to five days of standby time. The water resistant angled design means these headphones are ideal for outdoor pursuits, but their sound quality and comfort will make you want to wear them everywhere.
4. Groov-e Bullet Buds Wireless Earphones
The Groov-e Bullet Buds are a stylish and great-sounding pair of Bluetooth earbuds. They’re connected by a wire in the middle, ensuring you can’t lose one ear bud accidentally and also giving room for conveniently positioned controls. You get five hours of battery life here, and you can recharge them conveniently via USB in just a couple of hours when they run dry. The two buds attach magnetically when they’re not in use, making them easy to carry and hard to lose.
3. KitSound Bluetooth Headphone Splitter
Here’s an idea: instead of switching from 3.5mm to Bluetooth headphones, why not just add Bluetooth capabilities to your favourite pair of existing headphones? That’s the idea behind the KitSound Bluetooth Headphone Splitter — and as the name suggests, you can connect two sets of headphones to the same Splitter, allowing you to share your music with a friend while still enjoying full stereo sound. Awesome!
2. Erato Muse 5 True Wireless Earphones
The Erato Muse 5 are a cheaper alternative to Apple’s AirPods, with a similar form factor for truly wireless operation. The Muse 5 boast surprising good sound quality, and the FitSeal construction ensures they mould themselves perfectly to your ears. The headphones are IPX5 water resistant as well, making them a great choice for active users.
1. Apple AirPods
Apple’s AirPods are expensive, but their built-in W1 Bluetooth chip make them the easiest to use iPhone X headphones on the market. They pair instantly without needing to delve into the Bluetooth connection menu, and you’ll get battery life updates as they wind down. The AirPods will last five hours on a charge and come with a charging case that can recharge them three to four times, giving you almost 25 hours of playback without ever needing to see a power outlet. The AirPods aren’t the most comfortable headphones around, and I’m still scared of losing one while out and about, but the ease of use makes AirPods a solid recommendation despite their high price.
