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.
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.
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.
With the stylish ColorBuds, 1more offers Bluetooth in-ear headphones in classy colour variations that set them apart from sterile stylings of AirPods.
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?

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.
