Wireless earbuds for iOS, Mac, and Windows?


Recommended Posts

The battery in my AirPods is finally giving up the ghost so I'm looking to find a new set of wireless earbuds. I'd like to purchase something that can be used easily with my iPhone, work-issue MacBook, and Windows devices. Price isn't a big concern, but less than $300 would be ideal.

Beats is my vote since they work like airpods with your apple devices, but you don't look like a total wanker with white earwax coming out of your ears..😄

How well do they work on Windows devices? I'm sure they're easy to pair, but do they remain as such after you switch to something running Mac/iOS?

I don't know to be honest. I would say they would pair like any other Bluetooth earbud. I have a set of JVC and I swap mine across between my windows pc's, iphone and ipad.

Usually oneplus or nothing or google buds worked well with iOS,android and Windows PC. It worked nicely with iOS and Android. Windows 10/11 gets little mental when you're streaming HQ video when your router switches to 2.4GHz from 5GHz band. I had to reconnect it with Windows PCs(Dell,Lenovo and HP). I'm unsure about MBP since I don't have them. Anyway, my budget was half of yours so your mileage may vary since its almost high end audiophile.
