Want to hop on the wired earbuds trend? Here are 4 models I’d buy as an audio reviewer

Master & Dynamic ME05.

As just another TikTok doomscroller, I’ve seen a lot of talk about wired earbuds lately. In particular, the so-called ‘performative’ individuals who are pairing them with an iced matcha latte and tote bag. Maybe even a Labubu too...

But believe me, using wired earbuds doesn’t have to be performative – it can be a gateway to superior listening experiences. I’ve tested some of the absolute best wired earbuds around here at TechRadar, and I’m here to help you pick a stylish, yet great-sounding model, no matter your budget.

I’ve got buds from the likes of JBL and Sennheiser, ranging from the $25 / £15 mark all the way up to $199 / £169. Plus, I’ve personally reviewed each set in this article, so I can vouch for their quality. Want in on the wired earbuds craze? Then let’s run through some top options on the market right now.

1. My top overall pick: Sennheiser IE 200
