For office use, the best earbuds aren't just the ones with the strongest active noise cancellation (ANC). They should also be comfortable for hours, have a good microphone for calls, and let you switch to transparency mode when someone stops by your desk.

‹ (Previous product)1 of 4 › (Next product)
- Sony WF-1000XM6 **$298.00** Sony
- Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds **$299.99** Target

Here are the top choices:
Best overall
Sony WF-1000XM6
$298.00
•
Sony
These are among the strongest all-around office earbuds available. They excel at reducing HVAC hum, keyboard noise, and nearby conversations while delivering excellent sound quality and long battery life. Reviewers consistently rank them at or near the top for ANC performance.
RTINGS.com
+1
Best if you want:
Top-tier noise cancellation
Long work sessions
Excellent sound quality
Android or mixed-device use
Best noise cancellation
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds
$299.99 · Target
If your biggest priority is blocking office chatter, Bose remains a benchmark. Their ANC is especially effective against voices and other mid-frequency sounds common in open offices.
Tom's Guide
+1
Best if you want:
Maximum silence
Frequent travel plus office use
Comfortable fit
Best for iPhone users
If you're in the Apple ecosystem, the AirPods Pro (latest generation) integrate seamlessly with Macs, iPhones, and iPads. Features like automatic device switching, Adaptive Audio, and excellent call quality make them a great office choice, even if their ANC isn't quite as aggressive as Bose.
The Wall Street Journal
Best value under $100
Soundcore Liberty 4 NC
$99.99 · Soundcore
These punch well above their price with surprisingly effective ANC, strong battery life, and good microphone performance. They're one of the easiest recommendations if you're trying to stay around $100.
SoundGuys
+1
Best for sound quality
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4
$228.00 · Abt Electronics, Inc.
If you spend as much time listening to music as you do on calls, these offer some of the best audio quality in the category while still providing very good adaptive ANC.
Quick recommendations
Your priority Recommendation
Best overall Sony WF-1000XM6
Strongest ANC Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds
Best for iPhone AirPods Pro (latest generation)
Best under $100 Soundcore Liberty 4 NC
Best sound quality Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4
If you're working in a typical open-plan office with lots of conversations nearby, I'd lean toward:
Sony WF-1000XM6 for the best balance of ANC, comfort, battery life, and call quality.
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds if your main goal is blocking as much office chatter as possible.
Soundcore Liberty 4 NC if you want about 80–90% of the experience for roughly one-third of the price.
