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.
Razer Barracuda X
With the Barracuda X, Razer brings a one-fits-all solution to the table: thanks to mini-USB-C wireless transmitters, the Barracuda X is supposed to excel with PCs, Playstations, Switches as well as Android devices. We tried it out.
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.
Google Pixel Buds A-Series
Boasting almost the same features and almost the same look - with the new Pixel Buds A-Series Google offers a cheaper alternative to the Pixel Buds that appeared just under a year ago. The search engine giant has cut the price in half so that the new Pixel Buds no longer cost 100 Euros. We find out what the differences are in the features and whether the new A series is worth it.
Astro A20 Gen. 2
For some time now, the A20 gaming headset from Logitech's subsidiary Astro Gaming has been available in its second generation, which is offered in two variants. Based on colour coding, the area of use can be visually assigned: Xbox gamers (Xbox One, Xbox One X, Xbox One S, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S) go for the version with green colour accents, Playstation gamers (PS4 and PS5) opt for the blue version. Both have compatibility with Macs and PCs in common. Fans who use game consoles from Sony and Microsoft still do not have to buy both versions - it is "enough" to buy the USB wireless transmitter (approx. 20 euros) to achieve full platform compatibility.
Huawei FreeBuds 4
The successors to the Huawei FreeBuds 3 are called FreeBuds 4. Like their predecessors, they rely on an "open-fit design", i.e. an ear fit without silicone attachments - also called "Ear-Buds". Despite this airy design, which the first noise barrier does not have due to the design because of a sealed ear canal, they want to ensure peace with a two-stage active noise cancelling.
1more ColorBuds
With the stylish ColorBuds, 1more offers Bluetooth in-ear headphones in classy colour variations that set them apart from sterile stylings of AirPods.
Bowers & Wilkins PI5
After we tested the PI7 some time ago and found them to be pretty good, we were naturally curious to see how the PI5s from Bowers & Wilkins, which have been stripped of a few features, would perform. It was already clear after the first time we tried them that there was no need to worry about the sound quality from the smaller model: the British naturally set the bar high in terms of sound quality.
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?
JBL Live Pro+ TWS
JBL's Live Pro+ TWS cable-free in-ears are tuned for bass and designed to provide flexible ambient noise control in daily life and when travelling. These headphones feature customisable noise cancellation as well as ambient and TalkThru modes. App connectivity also supports customised system and sound adjustments, as well as integration with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
