Headphones reviews 2026

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.

The Tribit Stormbox Mini+ delivers 360° sound, a light feature, aux input and app support in a compact design. Great for camping, poolside or travel – but battery life could be better.

With refined carbon-fibre drivers, premium design and future-ready updates like Auracast and spatial audio, the PX8 S2 delivers sound quality that sets a new benchmark in the €700 class.

For under €100, the Huawei FreeBuds 7i deliver a well-equipped package that convinces both technically and sonically.

Bose is rolling out a major upgrade for the QuietComfort series. With improved ANC, USB audio, and spatial sound, these premium headphones are becoming all-rounders for everyday use and travel.
