Shure are known as one of the premier manufacturers in the field of professional in-ear technology. However, their current model, the True-Wireless Aonic 215, is aimed at the consumer market. These headphones are targeted at demanding listeners who are looking for a True Wireless solution for their musical enjoyment, and for use during sports and workouts.
The Miiego Boom ANC is an ear-cup wireless headphone with active external noise cancellation. So far, so good, but the Boom ANC also wants to be athletic! An over-ear headphone for an everyday workout is something I find difficult to imagine, but the Danish company Miiego said: "It works!" So, we took a closer look at the "4-in-1" headphones for "sport, relaxation, travel and the office".
With Echo Buds, Amazon presents some interesting true-wireless earbuds. They feature active noise reduction – licensed by Bose – and integrate very well with their system via voice control. As a bonus, they are very reasonably priced.
Mackie's entry into the headphone market can certainly be described as successful. Especially the – second place in terms of price – MC-250 which convinced us with their price-performance ratio. All three previous models in the series (MC-150, 250 and 350) had one thing in common: they were all closed designs. With the MC-450, Mackie now introduce their first studio headphones with an open back, and these have all the advantages associated with such a design, like less heat build-up and the feeling of still being in contact with your surroundings.
With the Tune 220TWS, JBL extend their range to include wireless EarBuds that support Bluetooth standard 5.0, allow intuitive control of Android and iOS devices and, thanks to their special fit, they do not cause a feeling of pressure even in sensitive ears.
The new Powerbeats Bluetooth in-ears are aimed - like their True-Wireless counterparts the Powerbeats Pro - primarily at an audience who want to use them during sports and exercise. And they are particularly suited, thanks to their securely fitting ear hooks and their sweat- and water-resistant design. Their powerful sound and long battery life provide additional motivation for power workouts.
Sennheiser's HD 450BT wireless over-ears support high-quality audio codecs with AAC as well as aptX, they also offer low latency for watching movies and playing computer games thanks to aptX LL. For everyday use and when travelling, they also benefit from exceptionally long battery life, both with and without active noise reduction.
Version 2 of these True Wireless in-ears - now with active noise cancelling
There are quite a few True Wireless in-ears available in the around 50 Euro price range. The TaoTronics SoundLiberty 79 (TT-BH079) is another addition to what’s on offer in this highly attractive price bracket.
