JBL has been making speakers for more than 70 years, but headphones – and especially noise-canceling headphones – have only been added to the product catalog in recent years. The JBL Club 950NC is a closed headphone with electronic noise reduction (ANC) in the upper tier of the mid-range range. That is, in the affordable …
We recently tested the third generation of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay E8, which had been corrected for childhood diseases from the first two generations of completely wireless earplugs. But Bang & Olufsen had more up their sleeve: a sports version of the Beoplay E8 that has just landed in the reviewer’s ears. The Beoplay E8 …
“When I waked, I cried to dream again” The words were written by William Shakespeare in The Tempest, but they can also be used to describe the feeling I get every time I take off my HiFiMAN HE-1000se. A pair of addictive headphones, which appeal more to emotions than reason. This also applies to economic …
They look like cheap AirPods copy. But the Timekettle M2 is more than the “original” can dream of. The great thing about these cheap earbuds is neither the protruding microphones, nor that they, unlike AirPods, can play music in aptX format. Instead, Timekettle with the M2 earbuds can translate everything you say into virtually any …
The world’s best noise cancelling headphones have been replaced, and the new WH-1000XM4 are better in every way. No matter what types of music I’m listening to, I find the audio quality better. There’s better pace and rhythm, I more often find myself snapping my fingers to the music and singing along. Outside noise is …
Anyone who has been to the local gym can’t help but notice the many people walking around wearing earbuds. Music makes exercise a little easier to get through, and can also provide motivation and pace for a good jog for instance. With heart rate monitors and other advanced running gear, your headphones can work as …
True wireless earphones have become some of the most popular types of earphones. Matched only by noise cancelling headphones and gaming headsets. This category didn’t even exist just a few years ago but, in recent years especially, most manufacturers have come on board with their own version of self-contained, wireless earbuds. Including JBL. The JBL …
Wireless earbuds that are wholly free of wires are hugely popular. Two small earbuds are all you need to hear music on your way to work, just relaxing or exercising. They cost more than wired earbuds and battery life is relatively limited. Four to five hours and if they don’t sit properly in your ears …
Last winter, we tested the wireless Jabra Elite 75t earbuds, which we praised to the skies for highly effective passive noise reduction, excellent fit and outstanding sound quality with plenty of depth. Now their successor, the Jabra Elite Active 75t earbuds, have landed on our test bench and you must forgive us if reading this …
Sennheiser is among our all-time favourites for completely wireless earbuds. Momentum True Wireless 1 was brilliant with a beautiful sound and a good fit and a real premium feel. There aren’t many wireless earbuds on the market that can match Momentum True Wireless in terms of sound quality. Perhaps none, because if I were to …
The Danish SteelSeries is a popular brand with gamers. Both with its own products and as a supplier for others. Among other uses, their keyboards are used in MSi gaming machines. The Arctis Pro is the big brother to the Arctis series. In the Pro series, the materials are more costly. Steel replaces plastic in …
If you have not heard proper high-end sound before, I would almost call you lucky. Because if you have heard a stereo system for 100,000 kroner and higher, it will be a little shocking to go back to the soundboard in the living room afterwards. Maybe just as well not to know what to miss. …
The Sennheiser headphone giant has not just one, but two top models in active noise reduction (ANC) headphones, and both have now come in new generations: Momentum 3 Wireless for “nice” use in the office and PXC 550-II for commuting and travel use. The Sennheiser PXC 550-II is a discreet and relatively compact over-ear model. …
Sol Republic is a slightly forgotten brand in Scandinavia, which is a pity. For this price range, they are a set of really nice headphones for a youthful target market. Considering the target market, the black model looks slightly subdued, but the blue is considerably more flashy. They feel a bit like plastic, but are …
When the first Beats model Studio saw the light of day in 2008, the headset market exploded, never to look back. Suddenly they saw the youth with heavy bells on their heads, rather than the pitiful earplugs that came with the music players. The fact that hi-fi enthusiasts frown their nose on Beats is completely …
