Lo smartphone is a very complete tool, and in a very short time it replaced many devices that were frequently used, first of all the mp3 players.
It is not difficult to come to the conclusion that, in fact, it makes no sense to carry two different devices when only one can fulfill all the tasks of the other, and so the smartphone has become the synthesis of many useful tools.
The best-selling smartphones in the world are obviously the iPhone, produced by Apple, but going back to talking about mp3 players: to make the most of them it was certainly recommended to use a good pair of headphones, and that advice has certainly not changed with smartphones. In this guide we will therefore go to advise you on what are the best headphones for iPhone to buy.

IPhone headphones: our tips
Thanks to the AirPods, the true wireless headphones industry has literally exploded. In this video dedicated to the best headphones for iPhone, in addition to what you will find below in the guide, after having tried practically dozens and dozens of different headphones we wanted to list those that we consider affordable and deserving.
We are only talking about the best wireless iPhone earphones and we do not consider models like the original iPhone earphones that are equipped with a cable.
IPhone headphones and best iPhone earphones: what changes?
Actually the answer is: little. That little, however, consists of small differences that make everyday use of iPhone compatible headphones more enjoyable. These differences, in the end, only consist in controls of reproduction tailored for Apple devices.
There are headphones, in fact, that have the controls optimized only for Android, and that when connected to an iPhone make it impossible to control the music on the device itself, if not only for the play / pausewhen it's okay.
Headphones for iPhone: our selection
In the following selection, therefore, we are going to offer you what we believe are the best models of iPhone headphones to use, distinguishing those with cable from those wireless, in order to maintain a certain order. In any case, although the quality of the cable is undoubtedly better, vi we suggest to invest a little more and to invest in a couple of wireless headphones, so you are prepared even when you have a phone without the headphone jack.
Of course all the products that we list are headphones with microphone for iPhone and that have full compatibility with iOS.
Wireless headphones for iPhone (wireless)
More and more people are using wireless headphones or earphones for iPhone, and the reason is obvious: without a middle cable the quality drops, of course, but comfort increases significantly, so more and more people are turning to this kind of products. So here are wireless headphones and earphones for iPhone that could catch your attention.
Airpods / Airpods Pro / Airpods Max
Let's start with the precursor earphones of the True Wireless movement, those who need no introduction: the Apple AirPods. Without beating around the bush, they are the best wireless earbuds to buy if you have an iPhone. The secret ingredient is the chip H1 which makes connectivity with Apple devices perfect, making them an integral part of the ecosystem. Furthermore, thanks to the offers that are available every day, prices have now become more affordable than at launch. In addition, Apple has differentiated the range by also presenting the AirPods Pro, those that thanks to the in-ear pads and noise cancellation should be the definitive wireless headphones for iPhone. If, on the other hand, you appreciate the non-in-ear headphones more, the standard version will certainly be more for you.
There is something new: a few months ago Apple has again expanded the range of AirPods branded products with a new pair of Bluetooth headphones: the AirPods Max. Compared to the standard AirPods they are a product that differs significantly, as in this case we are talking just a pair of over-ear headphones, so with a headband and the ear cups that surround the ears. They are equipped with active noise cancellation, and are the direct rivals of other over-the-head headphones such as the Sony WF-1000XM4. Of course, the price is absolutely demanding, but if you could afford it, we assure you that you will bring home a truly top product, indeed, practically luxury.
If you don't appreciate the AirPods or want a cheaper pair of true wireless headphones, know that we have created a guide dedicated to the best alternatives to AirPods, in which each model is exactly AirPods style, so not in-ear (or better: half in-ear) and without rubber pads, take a look!
Tronsmart Onyx Ace
If Apple AirPods were too salty for your pocket, the Tronsmart Onyx Ace they are the best you can buy. They cost over € 100 less! And they are compatible with both Android and iOS. There microphone quality it's a reference in this price range: excellent both in phone calls and in the recording of videos or voice messages. Good from the audio point of view, even the bass: frankly the only drawback is in the homes which is a bit much plasticoso e ugly, but considering the final price it is a good compromise.
Powerbeats Pro
A very valid alternative to Apple Airpods Pro ...at Apple. Beats has in fact been owned by Apple for years, and these Powerbeats Pro they are practically Airpods more suited to sports. The bow which they are equipped with to improve the grip on the ear helps a lot.
It does not end there, because we find all the functions of the Airpods and also some more features that justifies the price even higher than the Airpods. Present on chip H1 for fast pairing with iPhone, the proximity sensor which pauses the music when the earphones are removed from the ear, complete commands which include the volume adjustment, in short, a nice complete package. Autonomy is insane, about 9 hours of duration on a single charge, and the case, perhaps a little too large, guarantees another 24 hours of playback: not bad.
Sennheiser Momentum 3.0
The third iteration of the series Momentum by Sennheiser is one of the most interesting models in the consumer landscape. They are certainly the most precious at the level of materials e construction, and the audio quality is practically one warranty, being Sennheiser a real one authority of the sector. Also present the active noise cancellation, like any self-respecting top-of-the-range wireless headset, even if it's not the best from this point of view. The price is quite high, but by spending only once you will find in these Momentum 3.0 a real one life partner.
JBL Tune 205BT
Not everyone is happy with in-ear headphones, and due to the shape of their ear they tolerate the rubber pads of this type of earphones very little, accusing different annoyances, generally caused by the rubber insert that goes too far into the ear. With Earpods e Airpods, Apple proposed a alternative way to the in-ear, preferred by many users, but offered by few producers.
JBL is one of those companies that has thought of everyone's tastes, and has proposed its own pair of wireless earphones not in-ear. At a good price, these Tune 205BT offer good audio quality, with intense bass and balanced sounds, thanks to driver from 12,5 mm. The battery delivers autonomy about six hours and loads in two hours, the version of the Bluetooth and the 4.1 and the cable that joins the two earphones is flat to prevent it tangle.
Overall, therefore, it is a great pair of wireless bluetooth earphones for use on Apple devices.
Headphones with Lightning cable
If you nostalgic for the cable, we understand: wired headphones generally offer a quality and depth of sound that wireless headphones at the same price still can't deliver. The problem? It has been for some years now that Apple has removed the jack connector for headphones, creating a lot of discomfort among the various users. But there is a solution: headphones with a Lightning connector. You will only be able to use them with your Apple devices and you will not be able to charge them while you are listening to music, but at least you have found a solution to this problem.
Apple Earpods
The very famous Earpods Apple, the original iPhone earphones, are much loved by those who find themselves uncomfortable with the in-ear pads and also exist in Lightning version. In fact, from the iPhone 7 upwards, these are the headphones that are found in the original iPhone packaging. The quality is the same as the version with jack, not very high due to the absence of the rubber pads, but still honesty. The commands are, of course, optimized for iPhone and will not give any kind of problem.
1More E1004
1More is a very popular brand among audio enthusiasts thanks to its products with excellent value for money. These E1004s can boast an excellent one constructive quality and sound, and one thing few earphones have: the active noise cancellation. Obviously the yield cannot be that of headphones with much more expensive ANC, but it is still sufficient to eliminate light, but annoying noises.
With jack cable
Are you an iPhone owner from 7 and up? You can skip this paragraph at the bottom then, as Apple from iPhone 7 onwards took the courageous e highly criticized decision to remove the jack port from all its mobile devices, in order to push the wireless headset industry much further.
Apple Earpods
We have seen them with Lightning cable, but here they are also in the classic version with mini jack connection. We won't go too far, after all the dear old Earpods need no introduction, and if you want some in-ear headphones without rubber pads the choice almost necessarily falls on them.
Sennheiser CX 300 II
Economical, yes, but of great quality. After all, Sennheiser never contradicts itself, and these CX 300 II are proof of the fact that we are facing a company that he knows how to do his job. With only about 20 euros of expenditure, you will have in return one of the best models of earphones with cable in circulation.
JBL Tune 500
Le Tune 500 from JBL are a pair of on-ear headphones that we especially love and of which there is also a wireless version. Also in this case, with a very reduced price you will be able to have a truly excellent product, particularly suitable for pop music, hip-hop and electronics.
