Escape & Immerse: 8 Best Noise Cancelling Earbuds To Invest In 2024!

Their noise cancellation feature is one of the best in the game and has an adaptive audio technology, which intelligently tailors noise control to your environment. Their spatial audio delivers remarkable sound at the personal level and comes in a sleek design that is super comfortable to wear. They obviously work well within the Apple ecosystem but connect easily with Andriod as well.

Sony WF-1000XM5 is among the most revered noise-cancelling earbuds on the market right now. Its compact and sleek design sits comfortably in front of your ear canal. They feature a unique polyurethane foam material that maximises the surface contact area between the earbud tip and your ear canal, further removing gaps to insulate sound and reduce noise. Some tech influencers have also compared it with over-the-ear headphones in terms of noise-cancelling quality.

What we really love is that it has a voice detection feature that can reduce the sound of your music when it detects someone is speaking. Plus, they are water resistant as well.
