Sony Inzone H9
The Sony Inzone H9 is a gaming headset styles after the Playstation 5 and offers very good noise cancellation (noise cancelling, ANC) as well as the possibility to use wireless and Bluetooth connections in parallel.

Grado Labs GW100 (V2)
With the GW100, Grado have captured the sound and design of the wired classics from their Prestige range. These on-ear headphones deliver high wearing comfort, audiophile sound with deep bass and remarkable battery life. As an open design, they are the ideal solution for use at home, but not for public spaces. The voice quality is a minus point.
Grado GT220
The Grado GT220 excel with great sound quality and long-lasting battery life. However, you have to do without many comfort functions such as active noise cancelling, transparency mode, app integration and multipoint. With an RRP of 279 euros, the first true-wireless model from this family-run company from the USA has to go up against numerous competitors. "It's all about sound". But is that enough these days?
Waves NX Headtracker
Music today is increasingly consumed through headphones, but usually produced on and for loudspeakers. While playback on headphones can seem impressive and wide-ranging, it has little to do with the stereo image of well-positioned stereo speakers. The reasons for this lie in our perception of time differences, filtering and reverberation by our hearing and the corresponding evaluation by our brain. For a more natural reproduction of stereo and surround sound on headphones, a different solution is needed. Binaural stereophony has proven to be a suitable answer and is used by Waves NX, tested here in combination with the optional Headtracker.
