Best Earbuds for iPhone 8 Plus in 2023

Apple Eco-Friendly

If you know Apple, you know the company is all about creating products that integrate seamlessly into its exclusive ecosystem, and the AirPods are no different. Connecting your iPhone 8 Plus (or any Apple device) to a pair of AirPods will be "wireless, effortless, and magical." The AirPods are driven by Apple's custom W1 chip and use optical sensors and a motion accelerometer to detect when they're in your ears, which means the AirPods will automatically pause your jams when you remove one and resume playing once you put it back in. While playing music you'll also be able to control the volume, skip tracks, and activate Siri with simple tap gestures. The AirPods offer five hours of playback in a single charge with a quick charge option that'll give you three hours of listening time with just 15 mins of charge time.

Retro Connection

If you're all about that dongle life, the urBeats3 are perfect for you. These earbuds offer decent sound and its ergonomic design promises all-day comfort. The buds are connected by a flat tangle-free cable and comes with a 3.5mm plug. As you know, Apple has removed the headphone jack from its newer phones, including the iPhone 8 Plus, so you'll need a dongle to connect urBeats3 to your phone. But once you do, you can take calls, control your music, and even activate Siri. There's also a lightning connector option available.

The Powerbeats3 offer up to 12 hours of battery life and a hook design that'll securely fit on your ear during intense, fast-paced workouts. They're also sweat and water resistance so you won't have to worry about potential shortages due to wetness. The Powerbeats3 are currently on sale, so you might want to act quickly.

More Cords

If for whatever reason, you find yourself still attached to corded earbuds then these are a solid and stylish option for you. The JBL Reflect promises to deliver "massive sound" via a lightning connector and its brightly colored reflective cables provides "maximum visibility" while you're out in the dark. There's also adaptive noise control, water resistance, ergonomic ear-tips.

Noise Cancelation

The noise cancelation and atmospheric pressure optimization of the Sony WI-1000X makes them an ideal pair of earbuds to fly with. The earbuds boast up to 10 hours of battery life with the noise cancelation feature activated and a quite a bit more with the feature off. These earbuds come in two colors, including a gorgeous gold, and feature a comfortable behind-the-neck band that offers added security while on the go.
