BT Headset Sales through 2027

True Wireless Stereo (TWS) Bluetooth headsets are the main category driving Bluetooth headset sales.  The number of TWS vendors continues to grow, but Apple, which popularized the TWS category, is and will remain the category leader for the foreseeable future. While Apple and others focus primarily on the premium end of the TWS category, much of the growth is coming from the entry-level as TWS prices continue to steadily fall.

Bluetooth Stereo headsets are becoming ever more feature packed.  From noise canceling to active noise cancellation (ANC), multi-point connections and spatial audio, to health features such as heart rate sensors, these devices are becoming ever more capable, in the process justifying higher prices at the premium end of the category.
