There are a lot of great earbuds out there, but for the most part, they all start to kind of blend together because of their stale designs. Thankfully, the Nothing Ear 2 is one of the more unique options available, with a clean and sophisticated look that shows off its innards thanks to its transparent design. While the original earbuds came in white, it looks like there could be another model in the works that will come in black.

When it comes to immersion, the right audio setup is crucial. Whether you’re playing with spatial audio like THX and Surround, or simply playing in stereo, a clear, accurate sound image, wide frequency range, and top-quality audio signal are a must for the most realistic, engaging gaming experience possible. Though many swear by gaming headsets to get the job done, there’s a growing market for gaming earbuds that can offer excellent audio in a more compact, ergonomic package.

Most of us use headphones every day, to block out the commuter din, to connect us on hands-free phone calls, to rev us up at the gym, and much more. While over-ear headphones are a great option for passive and active noise cancellation, the added bulk doesn't always make them the ideal choice for all listeners. If you want something lightweight and easily portable, it's time to invest in a solid pair of wireless earbuds; though they may not provide the same level of intense noise cancellation as over-ear models, you'd be surprised how much sound a well-designed pair can block out.

Beats Studio Buds+ review: Not quite AirPods Pro, but close enough

The Beats Studio Buds+ are a big step up from the original Beats Studio Buds, but they aren't quite at the level of AirPods Pro.

By 

Even as AirPods have become some of the best earbuds in the world, Apple has kept the Beats brand around following its 2014 acquisition. They've produced quality earbuds since then, like the Beats Fit Pro and the Beats Studio Buds. Now, two years after the Buds debuted, Apple has updated the product line with the Beats Studio Buds+. They're better than the original model in just about every way, and they're good enough to challenge the AirPods Pro 2.

If you have been on board and are looking to upgrade, there have been some great releases in recent months, with further improved active noise cancelation (ANC) and transparency mode, as well as other smart features.

Beats clearly wants you to get the message that its new line of earbuds are better in more ways than one. The newly announced Beats Studio Buds + looks to be a revamp of the previous Studio Buds which claim to deliver marked improvements over its predecessor, bringing enhancements to call performance, active noise cancelation (ANC), transparency, and battery life. These improvements alone make for a worthy upgrade that could make them one of the best wireless earbuds in 2023, but Beats is adding a little more spice to the mix with the introduction of new colors like Black and Gold, Ivory, and the one that's going to be the clear favorite out of the bunch, Transparent.

All three phones in Samsung's latest flagship lineup are among the best phones of 2023. The Galaxy S23 series devices offer pretty much everything you expect to see on a modern flagship, including gorgeous displays, top-notch performance, great cameras, and impressive battery life. Sadly, Samsung doesn't ship any accessories with the devices, so your experience with the phones might feel incomplete if you don't own compatible earbuds, chargers, cables, etc. We've already rounded up some of the best Galaxy S23 series accessories you can buy to rectify that. However, if you've still not bought a pair of wireless earbuds to go with your new Galaxy S23 series phone, you've come to the right place.

Danish audio equipment brand Jabra may not have the same household name status as Apple or Sony, the audiophile reputation of Bose or Sennheiser, or even the "cool" image of Nothing, but it's been making some of the better functional earbuds for years. Yes, that is a nicer way of saying they're a bit boring, but if you want earbuds that fit well, pump out good audio, and don't cost too much money, Jabra has been reliable. In fact, it makes some of the best earbuds for working out.

OnePus 11 has officially landed in the U.S. as one of the first flagships of 2023, and it's pretty impressive. As mentioned in our OnePlus 11 review, it's a polished flagship that offers great value going against other options like the Galaxy S23. We highly recommend it if you're in the market to buy a new flagship but don't want to spend over $1,000.
