If you're an iOS user who wants to avoid dealing with an auxiliary app, Apple AirPods Pro is your best bet. They have impressive noise cancellation and seamlessly connect to iOS systems. To pair them to your iPhone, just open the charging case. Need to go hands-free? The AirPods will announce your texts to you.

The all-new QuietComfort Earbuds make a strong case for Bose’s best true wireless value with hallmark noise cancellation, pleasant sound, and unique features.

Bang & Olufsen rarely holds sales online, and this is the first time we’ve seen these top-rated earbuds at this low of a price. If you want to get the noise-cancelling buds at the massive $200 discount, you’ll want to scoop them up before the sale ends, since it’s unclear how long it’ll last on Amazon.

What sets the JBL Live Beam 3 apart from most other earbuds on the market is that it’s case is more than just a case. The smart charging case features a 1.45 inch touchscreen where you can adjust all the finer setting of your noise-canceling buds without having to use the JBL app on your phone. This gives you full control of the sound.

The new features make a great value proposition when you look at their prices. The low-cost $129/£129 variant are still packed with those touch panels and Spatial Audio, and the $179/£179 model adds that lovely ANC. They're easy to find as well. You can grab them from the Apple Store and Amazon, amongst other retailers.

Active noise cancellation is an increasingly common feature of true wireless earphones. If you want to block out the world around you, check out the best noise-cancelling, wire-free earbuds we've tested.
