We took six pairs of headphones and a dummy head on the subway.

The Verge video team took a trip around NYC to compare noise-cancelling headphones from Apple, Sony, and Bose — including twenty-year-old QC-1s and a set of $1,300 aviation headphones. Then we sent them to an independent lab for more tests.

Jlab’s $39.99 Jbuds Mini are the smallest yet.

“The smallest true wireless earbud of any major headphone brand,” according to JLab, and comfortable enough to wear while sleeping. They feature Bluetooth multipoint for quick swaps between your computer and phone, with 5.5 hours of continuous playtime, or 20 hours after recharging from the case. They’re sweat-proof, and also offer a pass-through audio feature to better hear your surroundings. They only lack ANC.
