Is it headphones or a headset for work – and who is the manufacturer? The Poly Voyager Free 60+ UC is hard to categorize. And the answers to the questions are not definitive… Poly is an American manufacturer of telecommunications equipment, including headsets. Many people know the company’s products, including the Voyager series, under the …
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II have some new features compared to their predecessor, in addition to being reduced in size by over 30 per cent. This is noticeable as the new ones are significantly more comfortable. The microphone also provides better sound on calls than its predecessor’s stemless design. You can save up to four …
Free Byrd is larger than most, almost on par with NuraTrue Pro, which are quite large in order to accommodate perhaps the most advanced technology available in any pair of earbuds. But in Free Byrd, you’ve just got the standard features, including noise cancellation and ambient sound, so strictly speaking, it should have been possible …
The market for completely wireless earbuds has become very crowded, with a few standing out among a large crowd of mediocre ones. With its new top model TW-E7B, Yamaha wants to carve out a place for itself in the premium segment and has invested in large 10 mm drivers to reproduce the music with the …
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! …
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 …
The replacement for the Bose QuietComfort 35 II is not surprisingly called QuietComfort 45. It is confusingly similar to the QC 35 II, with physical buttons and all. The earcups have a slightly smoother design, where the joints were more angular with the predecessor. The headband is now upholstered in smooth imitation leather instead of …
The JBL Tour One feels solid in the hands, and sits comfortably on the head. And I like the feeling they give when they are in the hands. Physical buttons for sound level, wireless connection and sound processing such as noise cancellation and ambient sound make them easier to get to know than some others, …
When Bose gave us the QuietComfort 35 5 years ago, it was something very special. They had cut the cable on their best noise-canceling headphones (QC25), thus changing the entire market for wireless headphones. It was not long before “everyone” followed Bose’s lead, and the shops were flooded with wireless, noise-canceling headphones. Now no one …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
When Skullcandy started, there was more attitude than content. But over the years, they have also grown up and produced headphones that even adults dare to be visible in, and which have received significantly better sound. Like the excellent budget headphones Grind, or the rudely cheap noise-reducing headphones Venue. A good example is that we …
