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.

You can grab them from the Apple Store and Amazon, amongst other retailers.

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.
