Best Noise Cancelling Lightning Earbuds: Pioneer Rayz Plus

If you travel a lot or commute on a noisy train, these are the earbuds for you. Pioneer Rayz makes these high-quality earbuds that will delight audiophiles and commuters alike. Employing smart noise canceling, these headphones adapt to the noise around you and adjust the sound accordingly. Use the built-in remote to play, pause, and change music tracks without taking out your phone. The built-in microphone is perfect for calls and it automatically mutes when you’re not speaking to prevent excess noise. It also recognizes “Hey Siri” for easy hand-free usage.

One of my favorite features is Autopause. When you remove your earbuds, it automatically pauses whatever you’re listening to or watching and when you put them back in, it starts playing again. Pioneer Rayz Plus comes with a free companion app that gets free automatic updates and lets you customize settings for the perfect listening experience. If you’re worried about charging your phone, these earbuds come with an adapter built in so you can listen and charge at the same time.

All of these features come at a higher price though. If you want an upgraded alternative to the default Earpods with tons of cool features and fantastic audio quality, get the Pioneer Rayz Plus. If you’re on a budget, check out some of our cheap lightning earbud picks below.
