I would argue that my favorite earplugs are still the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2. They sound great, sit nicely in the ears, are partially waterproof and have both noise reduction and ambient sound. But they are also quite expensive. That’s why last year Sennheiser launched its little brother CX 400BT, with much of the …
Apple users will nod in recognition, perhaps mockingly, when they see what’s in the case here. OnePlus Buds Pro is among the more shameless, Chinese AirPods Pro copies out there. Although they are not white, but rather black with mirror-polished microphone booms. And it should be said that they give a good feeling of quality, …
Bang & Olufsen has recently expanded its range of wireless headphones at a speed that almost makes you dizzy. Among them the lifestyle gaming headphones Beoplay Portal and the high-end flagship Beoplay H95. Beoplay EQ is a physically much smaller novelty, namely a set of completely wireless hearing plugs. And for the first time with …
When Sony launched their best wireless earbuds so far in 2019, namely the WF-1000XM3, we were impressed with how seriously they had taken the job. Exquisite noise reduction, magnificent bass and a – by the standards of the time – very stable connection. It has now been two years, and one by one the competitors …
Bowers & Wilkins came to the party with their completely wireless earplugs. They themselves claim that it is because they have spent an extra long time, to be sure of doing the job as well as possible at all. But now they have finally launched two models, and where the PI5 is in the middle …
Huawei was among the first to copy Apple’s AirPods form, with protruding microphones, which has become popular because the speech quality can often be better when you get the microphone a little further towards the mouth. FreeBuds 4i are the latest from the Chinese manufacturer, and the copy I received in glossy black gives a …
Since the end of 2020, the top headphones from Bang & Olufsen have been Beoplay H95. They are fantastic, but also far more expensive than their predecessor, the Beoplay H9. Beoplay HX is a new headphone in the upper tier of the premium class, which in terms of price fills the gap after H9. The …
Ever since we first started seeing gaming headphones with Dolby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X, I have felt the need for a pair of proper headphones for home theater use. With a real feeling of proper surround sound. Imagine. There you sit alone late at night, and all you want is to crank up the sound …
Philips may not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of premium earplugs, but they have made some really good products. The passive earbuds Fidelio S2 we named Budget plugs of the year in 2013, and the latest premium headphones Fidelio X3 are also very good, with a warm and inviting …
Gaming is no longer something that is reserved for pimpled teenage boys. It is played on consoles, mobiles and computers everywhere and by all age groups. And the biggest game titles have long since overtaken the biggest Hollywood movies in circulation. Based on this, it is no wonder that Bang & Olufsen wants a piece …
With the fully wireless Live Pro+ earbuds, JBL aims high with active noise reduction, and focuses on sound quality with powerful 11 mm drivers and long battery life. Most earplugs have 6 to 10 mm drivers, so these are rather big for earplugs. JBL Live Pro+ can look like a clone of Apple’s Airpods, with …
Finding a pair of good, wireless headphones with noise calcellation below GBP 130 has proven to be nearly impossible. Apart from the Sony WH-XB900N which has fallen so much in price. But now Urbanista has released a pair of wireless with noise reduction, which does not have a long list of meaningless numbers and letters …
You can wonder what they have been doing. While every conceivable manufacturer from any conceivable branch has long since launched at least one, preferably several completely wireless earplugs, Marshall has only had earplugs with a cord. Which in itself is not that stupid. If they fall out, they do not fall far, and with a …
Two years ago came Galaxy Buds, the first completely wireless earbuds from Samsung, which we thought sounded good. They were followed up last year by the somewhat disappointing Galaxy Buds Live. Fortunately, it turned out that they were just a parenthesis, and that the real successors to Buds are, of course, called the Samsung Galaxy …
When you scroll down through the long list of headphone manufacturers, Danish AIAIAI automatically appears among the first. The company has existed since 2006, and you can read on their website about how a large group of professionals from the music industry have contributed to the development of their products. This in itself is not …
