Klipsch T5 II True Wireless ANC
Functionally, the T5 II True Wireless ANC deliver a complete set of features that fulfil almost every desire: Noise cancelling, clever transparency mode, a comprehensive app connection and more. And, thanks to Dirac HD, they have a coherent and powerful sound.
Nura NuraTrue
Nura adds a pair of exciting True-Wireless headphones to the market with NuraTrue. Their ease of use is excellent, and the technology used in individual listening profiles based on otoacoustic measurements is unique.
Etymotic EVO
Etymotic has been building in-ear headphones since 1984 and has plenty of experience in the field of acoustics and hearing aids. And for more than 20 years, the Illinois, USA-based manufacturer has been active in the field of in-ear monitoring (IEM) and during that time, they have consistently pushed the use of balanced-armature drivers. In fact, the classic ER-4 is considered a pioneer in this field. Now, for the new Evo model, Etymotic has fundamentally revised the design in many respects. The result is the first Etymotic IEM with multiple drivers.
Korg NC-Q1
With the closed NC-Q1, Korg is initially targeting musicians and DJs and aims to offer them a pleasant listening environment and protection from levels that are too high with a specific combination of passive external insulation and active noise cancelling. At the same time, these headphones can be used as a mobile accessory via Bluetooth. With a recommended retail price of 349 euros, Korg confidently enters the market with a robust design and lush features.
Lypertek PurePlay Z7
The new premium model among the True Wireless headphones from Lypertek is an upgraded version of the model formerly called TEVI. The Chinese manufacturer has set higher standards for sound quality. The PurePlay Z7 uses a hybrid driver configuration. For the first time, Lypertek is using one titanium-coated dynamic driver and two balance-armature drivers on each side; these work together in tuned frequency ranges in a correspondingly tuned housing and are thus supposed to ensure particularly good detail resolution.
Sennheiser CX True Wireless
These new low-cost true wireless headphones from Sennheiser go by the name CX True Wireless and, with a recommended retail price of 129 euros, are cheaper than the now discontinued CX 400BT and also remain well below the price of the Momentum True Wireless 2.
Sony WF-1000XM4
With their previous model WF-1000XM3, Sony already offered one of the most comfortable True Wireless in-ear models. Now in its fourth generation, the popular device has undergone a general overhaul - both internally and externally. Is the upgrade worth it?
1more ComfoBuds Pro
With the ComfoBuds Pro, 1more are targeting price-conscious users who are looking for well-equipped true-wireless headphones with noise-cancelling. Here, we see what that looks like in practice and how it sounds.
1more ComfoBuds
Along with our love of the best sound quality and sophisticated materials, there is also a high demand for inexpensive headphones for everyday use. There are hardly any young people who don't use their Smartphones in combination with headphones. With a retail price of 49 euros (RRP), 1more are aiming at precisely this market.
Cambridge Audio Melomania 1+
The dynamic true-wireless Melomania 1 headphones from Cambridge Audio have been provided with a successor. The new model, Melomania 1+, uses the same dynamic drivers and identical housing that led to an impressive overall rating for their predecessor. New features added for the same price are the possibility of app control, which should result in higher ease of use, the so-called "High Performance Mode" for improved sound quality and USB-C connections on the charging case.
