Cut all cords!
In-ear headphones that completely dispense with cables have been the trend for more than two years! And now all well-known headphone manufacturers offer this type of headphones. Although the completely wireless headphones have been around for some time, it took Apple to bring real momentum to this product category. With the omission of the headphone jack with many smartphones, the only option left is to enjoy your favourite tracks via Bluetooth.
In this list you’ll find all True Wireless In-Ears we’ve tested so far in descending order of our star rating – so you can see at a glance which headphones are currently in the top 10. All future individual tests will automatically go into the leaderboard – so you won’t miss a thing and you’ll see any changes immediately and at a glance.
Electro-Harmonix EHX Sport Buds
Electro-Harmonix are best known as a manufacturer of guitar effects. Recently, however, the American manufacturer has also been trying their luck in the growing headphones market. We take a look at their Bluetooth in-ears, the EHX Sport Buds from Electro-Harmonix, designed for Work-out & Co.
Bowers & Wilkins PI7
Bowers & Wilkins like to take their time in the innovation race and do not always try to jump on the technology-driven bandwagon immediately. Better late and done properly was what I thought when B&W announced the first True Wireless in-ears in their range with the PI5 and PI7.
Koss TWS250i
In April of this year, Koss already earned an editorial recommendation for the smallest model in their Bluetooth in-ear series. Back then, it was the TWS150i that earned our recommendation thanks to their decent price-performance ratio. Now the next model up in the series reports to the kopfhoerer.de command centre for testing, and naturally, and they want to leave at least as good an impression as their predecessor – if not a better one. And of course, we were happy to give these little earbuds the chance to take the stage (or the ears, as the case may be) to try to impress us.
Soundcore by Anker Liberty 3 Pro
Relative to their price (159.99 euros RRP), the new Soundcore by Anker Liberty 3 Pro are outstanding True Wireless in-ears. They have individual sound profiles, adaptive noise cancelling (ANC), a high-quality LDAC codec and an extensive feature list. In short: We can expect sound and technical excellence with only a few compromises!
Lypertek PurePlay Z5
The Lypertek PurePlay Z5 raise the bar in the category of true-wireless headphones priced between 100 and 150 euros. In addition to convincing sound performance, these headphones scored points for their cutting-edge technical features which include effective noise cancelling and a user interface that should be an inspiration to the competition.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3
The new Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 show how successful a version upgrade can be: new design, new functions as well as many small improvements together with a price reduction of 50 euros.
Apple AirPods Pro 2
The new Apple AirPods Pro offer very good sound, remarkable and clever technical details, as well as active noise cancelling, which is supposed to be twice as effective as with the previous model, according to the manufacturer.
Soundpeats Capsule3 Pro
The SoundPEATS Capsule3 Pro cost very little, but deliver a lot with effective ANC, long battery life, High-Res Audio capability and a customisable EQ curve.
Sony WF-1000XM5
The Sony WF-1000XM5 is a remarkable headphone with long battery life.
Denon PerL Pro
With the PerL Pro, Denon offers unique True Wireless in-ears, which are very impressive thanks to the personalised calibration to one's own hearing ability.
