Headphones reviews 2026

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.

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.

The new Apple AirPods Pro 3 improve ANC, comfort, and bass while adding a heart rate sensor and USB-C charging. Our full review reveals why they remain the best true wireless in-ears for iPhone users.

The Nothing Ear (3) combine a unique Super Mic in the case with adaptive ANC, LDAC and a bold sound signature. Stylish, weatherproof and feature-rich – but with room for improvement in transparency mode.

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.
