Exactly two years have passed since Sennheiser launched the Momentum True Wireless 2 earbuds, which I without hesitation claimed as my new favorites.They now had active noise cancellation and longer battery life, and the same fabulous audio quality. To this day, not many earbuds can beat the MTW2 in terms of audio quality, Bowers & …
With the high-end IE 600 earplug model, Sennheiser ignores everything about wireless sound. Cable is the way to go to get the most out of your favourite music. That means you can perfect the sound to your own taste with your favourite amplifier, and it also means musicians can use the plugs on stage. But …
With the all wireless Fidelio T1, Philips takes on the class-leading premium hearing aids. It’s a bold move, as this price range includes the Bowers & Wilkins PI7, Devialet Gemini and Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EQ. In fact, Philips earbuds cost about 20 percent more than Sony’s latest top model, the WF-1000XM4. That’s a commitment! …
The mint green Urbanista Lisbon gives me some funny memories from the late 80s, when the colour had its heyday, and it brings a smile to my face. The case, which seems a bit plasticy, is small and snug, and hides two small earbuds. If I thought the Noc NS 1100 Air were big and …
The OnePlus Buds Z2 are the Chinese manufacturer’s first noise-cancelling earbuds since the OnePlus Buds Pro, which my colleague Geir was so excited about that they won the autumn group test of completely wireless earbuds. According to OnePlus, lots of the technology that gave the Buds Pro its neutral and lifelike sound has found its …
In a day and age when we’re increasingly connected, consuming more music, movies and podcasts than ever, there’s one thing that quickly comes with the wrong equipment: a lack of comfort. It matters little how good a pair of earphones or earbuds sounds, if you get sweaty ears after the first track. At the same …
In a market overflowing with earbuds – most of them of the completely wireless type – it’s nice to see that technological innovations are still happening. Such as NuraTrue. With the Nuraphone, Australian Nura created the first headphones on the market that automatically create a profile for the user’s individual hearing and correct for it. …
Technics EAH-AZ60 has a number of features, all of which are gathered in one well-designed app. Since not everyone hears the same, noise reduction can vary from ear to ear. Therefore, Technics allows you to test in the app when it is optimal and calibrate this point to the maximum. From there, the noise reduction …
If you only want one pair of earbuds, they should be wireless. Completely wireless, or so-called true wireless. The best have become so good and have such a long battery life that there is no longer anything to worry about. Eight to ten hours in the earbuds themselves is no longer uncommon, and with a …
Sennheiser is in the process of renewing their wireless earbuds. Not long ago we had a pretty nice encounter with CX True Wireless, which had good sound – albeit a little cautious. But which lacked active noise reduction and ambient sound, which placed the earbuds a bit behind the competition. And so we recommended instead …
Tone Free FP8W has a fixed case that cleans the earplugs with UV rays after use – and kills 99.9 percent of all bacteria, if we are to believe the manufacturer. Battery life is stated at an impressive 24 hours from the earplugs themselves and an extra 15 hours from the case if the active …
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro are quite advanced. The app tells one you the ear pads are tight and thus provides the best possible noise reduction. Then you can adjust optimal noise reduction with a virtual slider. After that is set, it is time to undergo a quick hearing test to determine how well one …
The small case for Belkin SoundForm Freedom does not take up much space in the pocket, and in this journalist’s ears, the silicone tips fit nicely right out of the box. In addition to tips in size M, which are mounted on the earbuds, sizes S and L are included. There is no app for …
There are many active noise reduction (ANC) earbuds on the market, so you actually have to stand out a lot to be noticed. Personally, I reckon that the sound on earplugs for £100 and over should be fully acceptable – which it usually is. Manufacturers can then get extra points for packaging, material selection, comfort, …
Not so long ago, we tested Marshall’s first true wireless earbuds, the Marshall Mode II, and were excited about the sound, but missed the noise reduction. The new Motif ANC has both, ie a sound that is especially suitable for pop, rock and hip hop, as you expect from Marshall, but this time you also …
