Bluetooth earbuds sound great on paper. They're tiny, there are no wires to contend with, and they look fab in your ear.

But they have one glaring drawback---the battery. You don't want to be halfway through a long journey only to discover that you're out of juice. As such, you need to make sure you buy Bluetooth earbuds with long battery life.

But which are the best wireless earbuds with long battery life? Keep reading to learn more.

1. Powerbeats Pro

Battery Life: 9 hours of continuous playback

If you value high-quality sound, slick design, and earbuds with long battery life, the Powerbeats Pro should be near the top of your shopping list.

The buds offer approximately nine hours of continuous audio playback. If you also buy the charging case, you can enjoy more than 24 hours of playback. Better yet, if you find your batteries running low and in need of a quick top-up, just five minutes of charging will give you 1.5 hours of additional playback time.

A few other features help to justify the high cost of the Powerbeats Pro. For example, the buds are IPX4 sweat and water-resistant, thus making them ideal for a long workout. They also have adjustable ear hooks to keep them in place during vigorous exercise. The earbuds will even recognize when you place them in your ears and will start playback automatically.

2. OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2

Battery Life: 14 hours of continuous playback

If you want Bluetooth earbuds with even longer battery life, check out the OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2. They provide listeners with 14 hours of continuous playback. And like the Powerbeats Pro, there's also a quick charge feature; 10 minutes of charging will give you 10 hours of playback. Keep in mind, however, that if you like to listen to your music with the volume turned up to the maximum, you'll see less battery life than advertised.

The OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2 headphones are a single unit, as they are joined with a behind-the-neck strap. They are also magnetic, allowing you to connect them together for easy storage. And when you do clip the buds together, playback will automatically stop. It's a great way to ensure you don't run the battery down accidentally.

The sound quality of the OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2 is also excellent. Each earbud has a Knowles Balanced Armature Driver and a 10mm dynamic driver, thus letting them pick up the softest trebles and the lowest basses. And you can even jump between two simultaneously paired devices thanks to an in-line control button.

3. Mifo 05 Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds

Battery Life: 7 hours of continuous playback

When you're looking for Bluetooth earbuds with long battery life, the headline figure of seven hours for the Mifo 05 Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds might not immediately catch your attention. It's a decent amount, but only half of what the OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2 provide. The earbuds come into their own, however, when you also consider the charging case.

The case comes with a 2600mAh battery that can provide a mammoth 100 hours of continuous playback. That's way more than anything else on the market. For example, the charging case for the Sennheiser True Wireless earphones is 600mAh, while the Sony WF 1000X's charging case is 850mAh. And incredibly, the charging case can recharge itself in just one hour.

Some of the other best features on the Mifo 05 Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds include smart pairing, a Bluetooth 5 chipset, compatibility with Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant, 3D stereo sound, and dynamic drivers in each bud.

4. JLab Audio Epic Executive Earbuds

Battery Life: 10 hours of continuous playback

The JLab Audio Epic Executive Earbuds are one of the few wireless earbuds with long battery life that also provide active noise cancellation (ANC). With the ANC turned on, they will last for seven hours. If you're happy to stick with passive noise cancellation, you can expect to enjoy 11 hours of continuous playback. The headphones also ship with a 3.5mm headphone jack adaptor, so even if you're caught short and run out of battery, you will still have a way to tune in and listen to your audio.

Like the OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2 headphones, the JLab Audio Epic Executive Earbuds use a neck strap to keep the earphones in place. They use Bluetooth 4.1 that has a range of 30 feet and have a water and dust-proof rating of IP54. You'll also get a travel case, several different sized earbuds, and ear cushions in the box. The ear cushions are ideal for periods of prolonged listening.

5. Senso Bluetooth Wireless Headphones

Battery Life: 8 hours of continuous playback

If you are looking for the best budget wireless earbuds with long battery life, you should consider the Senso Bluetooth Wireless Headphones. They provide eight hours of continuous playback, and while some of the other earbuds on our list provide longer battery life, none of them can match the Senso model on price.

The earbuds have an IPX7 waterproof rating, ergonomically designed ear hooks, and a 30-foot Bluetooth 4.1 range. If we had one criticism of the Senso Bluetooth Headphones, it would be the design. Sadly, they look like a budget pair of earphones. We've seen enough cheap headphones to know that it doesn't necessarily have to be this way. Still, if the design isn't important to you, the Senso earbuds come highly recommended.

Should You Focus on Bluetooth Earbuds With Long Battery Life?

For some people, using wireless earbuds with long battery life is essential. If you know that you spend a lot of time on the road, you need to be able to use them for hours without fretting about how much juice is left.

However, if you don't need long battery life, don't let it be the main thing that drives your purchase decision. Make sure you also consider design, comfort, and sound quality.
