JBL has shown up ringside with Reflect Contour that has gone all out on the fit, which is also particularly good. They call it “Dual Lock Technology”, resulting in headphones that hardly move, no matter how hard you pull the cable that connects the two earbuds. The reason for this can be found in the …
If you are looking for a couple of cheap and well-playing headphones for workouts, you might want to consider Monster and their iSport Victory, which they have dubbed “the athlete’s headphone”. They’re definitely not pretty, but don’t judge too harshly beforehand. I was pleasantly surprised when I first wore them. Thanks to large ear-hoops and …
The headset from Plantronics differs slightly from the others by not having an actual wire between the earbuds, but rather a kind of an integrated hoop. We have previously had the model in our hands, but because Plantronics has put an updated model on the market, we will look at them once again. I can …
B&O Play has previously been out to challenge Bose and its position as the uncrowned king of active noise cancellation. This was with the model H8, which came at in beginning of 2015. At the end of 2016, Beoplay H9 ended up in stores. Are they able to bump Bose from the throne? At first …
We weren’t very excited about Jaybird’s latest offer among wireless headphones, Jaybird Freedom. Luckily, Jaybird has launched a new model on the market that in many respects corrects the shortcomings and limitations found in the Freedom. Jaybird X3 is an updated version of the previously popular X2. The remote control on the cord has become …
Just a few years ago, you had to cough up a lot of money if you wanted to have wireless headphones, and still get great quality. Last year we found a number of very good reasonably priced earbuds. And it is now actually possible to go further down in price, and still get something that …
Urbanears is famous for nice and colourful headphones at a decent price. Jakan is no exception and can be obtained in five sober colours. The ear pieces can be buttoned together with magnetic plates, turning it into what looks like a necklace. The remote control is smart, and has a small joystick instead of all …
When we tested the more expensive wireless earbuds last year, Supra’s first wireless model Nitro-X was voted as the best buy. Now they are they back with an even cheaper Nero-X. The construction is a little different. The battery is moved to the centre of the cord, but thanks to the slip-resistant surface the earbuds …
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 …
Compared to the other earbuds in the test that also have a collar, you cannot help but notice how big the XB70B is. The battery and electronics boxes at the ends of the neck collar are twice the size of certain competitors. Despite this, the battery life is not better, quite the opposite. It also …
Despite the price, RHA MA650 feels luxurious thanks to the nice aluminium details. They feel solid, and the impression is amplified by the dust and water protection, according to IPX4. The electronics sit at the ends of the neck band, and the generous battery life provides a long listening time. Thanks to the USB-C connector, …
As usual, Jays sticks to a simple Scandinavian design, without any luminous logos or screaming colours. The remote may feel a little plastic, but the earbuds are made of metal and our first impression is that this is of a generally good quality. Also, the cords do not tangle if you shove them in your …
House of Marley has an interesting approach to environmentally friendly products. In this case it means that Uplift 2 Wireless is manufactured with recycled materials and environmentally certified wood, with degradable packaging. Also, a tree is planted for each sold product. The earbuds are neat with their wooden details and nylon reinforced tangle-free cords. A …
OnePlus’ first wireless earbuds have a design similar to BeatsX. Not a bad idea, as they are very practical. There is even a similar silicone carry case for transport. The box also includes three pairs of silicone pads, as well as three “wings” of different sizes. Thanks to this, the earbuds sit securely in the …
Compared with Audioflys high-end-models, AF45W is almost free. The budget can unfortunately be noticed in the battery pack and remote control, which are made of plastic and have sharp edges. However, the buttons are clear and easy to find with your finger. The wire is fortunately nylon clad, and the plugs actually look exclusive. They …
