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.
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?
Priced under 30-Euros, the CX 80S in-ears deliver an amazingly balanced and transparent sound. The built-in remote control not only operates the music played exclusively via cable but also handles telephone calls. The enclosed ear tips in three different sizes ensure an optimal fit.
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.
With the RZ-B100W, Panasonic expands its True Wireless series and provides a more affordable EarBud version of the RZ-S500W and RZ-S300W. In terms of sound, we were particularly impressed by the RZ-S500W. Will Panasonic pull off the same coup with the RZ-B100W?
Bone conduction (actually quite precisely: bone conduction transducer, because bones don't usually make sound) is the rather creepy term for the – pleasing to music lovers – a phenomenon that sound vibrations can be perceived not only with the eardrum but also with transmission through the body (to the cochlea).
The JLab Epic Air Sport ANC differ from the Epic Air ANC primarily in their more ergonomic and thus more comfortable design, including improved playing time. Technically, they are blessed with the same luxurious features, such as active noise cancellation, sound management via EQ and app pairing for individual customisation of all functions.
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.
The dominance of Apple's AirPods has one unquestionable benefit: it forces other manufacturers to be inventive and try out innovative concepts to compete with the omnipresent AirPods. The T5 II from Klipsch, tested here, are just such a case and are aimed specifically at water (and dust) loving hi-fi enthusiasts. Fully dust- and splash-proof, these True Wireless in-ears aim to be there for all those activities where Apple's fancy white earphones would be out of place.
