iPhone earbuds split into two camps, and this page carries both: wireless Bluetooth pairs and wired models built on Apple's Lightning connector. Nine iPhone-positioned earbuds hold a full published review, scored 8.4 to 9.6. Apple fields two of its own — the true-wireless AirPods 2nd Generation and the Lightning EarPods — alongside two more wired Lightning options, four further true-wireless pairs from YAQ, Jxrev, KTGEE and FORTECLEAR, and kurdene's wireless in-ear S8. Five of the nine carry a waterproof rating, and four are positioned as bass-heavy. The comparison table below gives the at-a-glance view; each ranked card links to its full review.
