Best noise-cancelling earbuds for working from home

Working from home with kids means two things: you need to block noise, and people need to hear you clearly on calls. We tested earbuds for both.

What matters most

  • Active noise cancelling that handles voices, not just engine hum
  • Microphones that reduce background noise on calls
  • All-day comfort and a case that lasts the week
  • Multipoint pairing for laptop and phone at the same time

Our test

Each pair spent two weeks in a busy family home, with recorded calls next to a running dishwasher and a playing toddler.
