Much of the innovation on true wireless earbuds hasn't included overall design. Sure, companies have extended battery life and added a slew of new features, but the primary exterior advances have been in reducing size rather than drastically changing the aesthetic. Well, Sony would like to have a word. Today, the company announced one of the most unique sets of true wireless earbuds we've seen. Dubbed the LinkBuds ($180), this tiny set features an entirely open wear style that lets outside noise in by design rather than relying on an ambient sound mode.

Microsoft has announced that Windows 11 will be available on October 5th as a free upgrade for qualifying Windows 10 systems, as well as on new PCs shipping after that date. But it isn't for everyone; a gradual rollout will prioritize newer hardware and use "intelligence models" to determine who gets the upgrade first. Microsoft will apparently factor in reliability and device age. It could be the case that friends and family utterly disinterested in an OS update could be offered it ahead of anyone champing at the bit for the latest edition of Windows. All supporting machines will get the update by mid-2022, if you can think that far ahead.

In the last two years, true wireless earbuds have made quite the leap. There's no doubt the popularity of Apple's AirPods helped make these headphones a mainstay, but companies' ability to offer reliable connectivity, great sound and active noise cancellation (ANC) in an increasingly smaller form factor has hastened widespread adoption. You can also get features that used to be reserved for premium models on mid-range devices. Of course, the popularity means that new earbuds are popping up all the time and the list of options is longer than ever. To help, we've compiled the best wireless earbuds you can buy right now, including noteworthy features for each selection.

Klipsch's redesigned T5 II true wireless earbuds are a big improvement over the T5 that debuted in 2019. However, the company's 2020 models didn't offer active noise cancellation (ANC) and only the pricier Sport version had wireless charging. Today, Klipsch is making both of those standard features with the T5 II ANC, plus it's throwing in AI-powered features from true wireless pioneer Bragi and Dirac HD Sound. All of the additions make this model a true flagship, right down to the premium price of $299. The T5 II ANC has the same design for both the earbuds and the case as the T5 II.

Sony's latest top-of-the-range noise-cancelling earbuds are a cut above the previous generation and the competition. They are the successors to the WF-1000XM3, which were great but huge. Sony has significantly shrunk the case and earbuds for the mark four model without sacrificing performance. The earbuds are fairly heavy, weighing 7.3g each, compared with the 5.4g AirPods Pro, but they don't feel so in the ear, and they are comfortable for hours of listening without a break. They don't have stalks but protrude further than some slimmer rivals.

The latest version of Amazon Echo Buds only arrived a month ago, but the company is already offering them at a discount just ahead of Prime Day. It's the first time that the second-gen Echo Buds have been on sale. A bundle with the wireless charging case is also $40 off at $100. In our second-gen Echo Buds review, we found that the true wireless earbuds were an upgrade from the original model on almost all fronts. Along with a smaller design, they offer true active noise cancellation (ANC) and better audio quality than the first-gen Echo Buds.

Today I have another amazing Kickstarter success story for you. There are so many amazing products available on Kickstarter right now including self-cleaning water bottles and lightweight jackets suitable for any temperature and weather. Today, however, I am sharing with you the Mobi Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling 100 hr. Wireless Earbuds which was fully funded in just one hour on Kickstarter and exceeded $50,000 in less than one week, absolutely smashing their original funding target! Read on to learn why people are backing these earbuds and what makes them unique.

Jabra has been surprising us with category-busting earbuds since the brand's first "so-called" true wireless pair (that is, those without wires at all), the Elite and Elite Active 65t. Elite they were, and the follow-up Elite and Elite Active 75t are even better. In fact, Jabra's decision to retroactively add noise canceling to the already stellar 75t series via firmware makes them excellent competition for the new 85t, at a much lower price point. However, while the 85t may look a lot like the 75t--with some extra bulk--Jabra's engineers have drawn up something new here, aimed at long-term wearability and improved sound quality to take on the AirPods Pro, Bose's QuietComfort Earbuds, and other premium-tier rivals. And apart from one notable flaw (for which a fix is reportedly coming) they're about as close to perfect as true wireless gets.
