Best Earphones 2025

The RexiesShop team has extensively tested 35+ earphones to help you find the perfect wireless earbuds.

What to Look For

🎧 Fit & Comfort

In-ear (IEM): Seal in ear canal, best noise isolation
Semi-in-ear: Rest in outer ear like AirPods (3rd gen)
Look for multiple ear tip sizes (S/M/L) and secure fit for workouts

🎵 Sound Quality

Driver size matters less in earphones. Look for balanced sound signature, good bass extension without muddiness, and support for high-quality codecs (AAC for iOS, LDAC/aptX for Android).

🔇 Active Noise Cancellation

Premium models offer ANC comparable to over-ear headphones. Look for adaptive ANC that adjusts to environment, transparency/ambient mode for safety, and minimal impact on battery life.

🔋 Battery Life

Earbuds alone: 4-6 hours with ANC, 6-8 hours without
With case: 20-30 hours total
Fast charging is essential (10 min = 1-2 hours playback)

💧 Water Resistance

IPX4: Sweat and light rain resistant - minimum for workouts
IPX7: Can handle accidental submersion
Check case rating separately from earbuds

📞 Call Quality

Multiple microphones with beamforming technology isolate your voice. Wind noise reduction and voice pickup optimization are crucial for outdoor calls.

🎮 Gaming Mode

Low-latency mode (under 100ms) is essential for gaming and video watching. Look for dedicated gaming mode in companion app.

Special Features

Spatial Audio: 3D sound experience with head tracking (Apple, Samsung)
Multipoint Connection: Connect to multiple devices simultaneously
Auto Pause: Music pauses when you remove an earbud
Find My: Locate lost earbuds via app with sound/map

Premium (₹10,000+): Best ANC, premium sound, advanced features
