Admittedly, the name of these circumaural wireless headphones with active noise cancelling may sound a bit bulky, but that shouldn't prevent anyone from listening to the TT-BH085 more closely, because their features, workmanship and sound are quite remarkable for the price range of "around 50 Euros".
The Danish manufacturer Miiego designs its headphones especially for the athlete, and so I was somewhat surprised by the Miiego Boom: I find the idea of an everyday over-ear sports headphone difficult to imagine, but with the Boom, Miiego is saying: "This is possible!”. We took a closer look at these "2-in-1" headphones which are designed for both "sports AND relaxation"!
These Club 950NC foldable over-ears from JBL are powerfully tuned, quick-charging, have active noise suppression and, in addition to functional device control, offer a large button for interaction with voice services such as Google Assistant or Amazon's Alexa. Sound and system adjustments are also possible via these wireless headphone's app connection, while Ambient Aware and TalkThru technology can be used to enhance external perception or communication if required.
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.
JBL's wired Live 300TWS in-ears are powerful and punchy, support Bluetooth 5.0, and offer voice service integration and touch control for Android and iOS devices. The system can also be customised via app connection, while TalkThru and Ambient Aware technology provides functions for interaction with your environment or enhanced external perception.
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.
