2024: a good year for earbuds


Earbuds are becoming more capable and helpful than ever.

Style-wise, it’s hard to choose between the flashy yellow of the Ear (a) or Beats’ candy red Solo Buds, but Nothing gives you more for your money than Apple’s brand. I’d expect we’ll see other industry heavyweights like Sony, Samsung, and Google bring similar capabilities to their own future buds — perhaps as soon as next year. For you audiophiles out there, 2025 is likely to see the introduction of more earbuds that can wirelessly stream lossless audio as Qualcomm’s most advanced chips start to proliferate across new products from various brands — potentially including Sennheiser, Bose, and others.
