The Danish high-end manufacturer Bang & Olufsen celebrate their 95th birthday with the special model H95, which - as of 2020 - seeks to combine all their experience and technical know-how in a pair of stylish ANC headphones.
With their QuietComfort Earbuds, Bose are seeking to demonstrate that even in the cable-free class, True Wireless in-ears are extremely effective at reducing noise and delivering high-quality sound. We test whether they actually manage it.
With the Soundcore Life P2 Anker offers inexpensive, cable-free in-ears that sound good, support high-quality audio codecs with aptX as well as the AAC format and offer a decent runtime. For clear intelligibility during phone calls, these wireless headphones are also equipped with four microphones and the cVc 8.0 noise canceller.
Mackie has added three more headphones to their MP series: The MP-460 I am testing here is their new top model in this series.
With a purchase price of just under 40 Euros, the completely wireless Aukey EP-T28 offer amazing performance in terms of both sound and workmanship. Here once again, as with the EP-T21, the feeling that current technology can be quite affordable is reinforced. Nevertheless, there are upsides and downsides.
Crusher Evo, fast-charging wireless headphones from Skullcandy, offer outstanding battery life and combine the company's in-house haptic bass response technology with flexible sound adjustment via an app. It offers EQ settings for music, podcasts and films, as well as its own sound profile based on a listening test provided by the Swedish company Audiodo.
About two years ago Mackie released their MP series: All three pairs of headphones – the MP-120 , the MP-220 and the MP-240 – were aimed at musicians and sound engineers who are looking for monitor headphones for the stage and the FoH/monitor mixing desk. Now Mackie has added three more pairs of headphones to the MP series: the MP-360, which I'm testing here, ranks in the middle of the hierarchy of the three MP newcomers.
A little more than a year ago, we completed our test of RHA’s debut True Wireless headphones the TrueConnect. Their successor is now available with even better support and they are even a few Euros cheaper.
With the Stockholm Plus the Swedish manufacturer Urbanista have added light, cable-free earbuds to their range, they are weatherproof according to IPX4 and are characterised by a crystal clear reproduction of voices. In addition to Bluetooth standard 5.0, these slim wireless earbuds with AAC format also support a high-quality audio codec.
I remember when I had the pleasure of testing Mackie's first three in-ear headphones about two years ago: The MP-120 , the MP-220 and the MP-240 were aimed at musicians and sound engineers who were looking for monitor headphones for use on stage, with FoH/monitor mixing desks or in the recording studio. Now Mackie has added three more technically advanced headphones to the MP-series: The MP-320 that I am testing here is higher in the price hierarchy than the MP-240 and the most affordable of the three new ones.
