Looking for recommendations for the best overall true set of wireless earbuds.

Looking for:

- Noise canceling
- Decent sound quality
- Good call quality
- No audio sync problems with video
- Excellent controls on the earbuds - - volume, take calls, Siri, skip ahead and back, etc.
- Easy connections and ability to quickly swap between devices
- Small charging case design with magnets

I currently have the Jabra Active Elites and find them really good for most everything except the audio sync is off in the YouTube app. And the charging case should have magnets but not a deal breaker.

Then I am trying out the AirPods (present for my daughter but she didn’t like them). I love how easy they connect and that they have no audio lag with any videos. But I don’t like that they have no noise cancellation and that the tapping feature is very limited.

I’ve seen good reviews on both Bose and Sennheiser but can’t go there at this point due to how huge they both are.

Maybe I should just stick with one product and hope the next generation of the truly wireless buds in 2019 will check all my boxes.

Any opinions or recommendations out there?

Idk if you have a five below but I got a great set of wireless ones for 5.00 and they do a lot! I know the best would be apple air pods or beats by Dre
 
I backed the Funcl projects I have a pair coming for 19 plus 6 shipping. I’ll get a more pricy one when they figure out how to increase the battery life. But you have to hurry it’s only has 1 or 2 more days
