Headphones reviews 2026

Up to 80 hours of playback, LDAC, Auracast, and one of the best headphone apps around — our review shows what 180 euros gets you today.

Premium sound with an extremely long battery life and a replaceable battery: a review of the Sennheiser Momentum 5 Wireless. What it can do, where it beats Sony, Bose and Apple, and what’s missing.

Lightweight clip-on open-ears with IP55, 9h battery and surprisingly good sound. Stylish, sporty and affordable.

AI earbuds with 12h battery, Bluetooth 6.1, LDAC, AI recorder, and excellent ANC. Bass-heavy sound, strong call quality – AI features require paid subscription, restrained treble.

On-ear with 80h battery, Bluetooth 6.0, adaptive ANC and replaceable battery. Punchy sound, compact – EQ lacks reset function, Auracast in beta stage.

Comfortable fit, effective ANC, LDAC, and AI translation make the Soundcore Space 2 a strong value pick. Transparency mode hiss is the one trade-off.

Premium in-ears with 2-way speaker, 24-bit/96 kHz audio and strong ANC. Mature, confident – but poor case handling.

These over-ears last longer than a week of music listening – and they're even waterproof! The Nothing Headphone (a) have just two small catches you should know about.

JBL’s Sense Pro deliver open-ear sound with LDAC, Spatial Audio, and Auracast. Great features, strong sound – but imperfect fit.

The Marshall Stanmore III delivers classic rock’n’roll style with powerful, warm sound and analogue charm. A premium Bluetooth home speaker for under €300.
