Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 review: Premium and practically future-proof
Sennheiser's flagship earbuds get even better, but they're still pricy
Sennheiser’s done it again. The German company has launched a showstopping pair of truly wireless earbuds –– the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4. The earbuds bring a lot of what fans loved about the previous models and adds a few more bells and whistles. The earbuds retain its stylish, durable design, excellent Sennheiser audio quality coupled with powerful adjustable noise cancelling technology and Auracast, a new future-forward, audio sharing feature –– all for the budget-breaking price of $299.
JBL Tour Pro 2 review: Smart earbuds, smart case
No gimmicks here, the case should be a template for premium buds going forward
It’s refreshing to see a company experimenting with something different in the sea of wireless earbud homogeneity. JBL’s Tour Pro 2 breaks new ground for premium earbuds by pairing them with a touchscreen-equipped charging case. While they’re not cheap and have some bugs and half-baked aspects, JBL did a great job on its first time out.
JLab JBuds Mini review: Big battery life in a tiny package
They may be mini, but these JBuds punch above their weight
When I use the Jbuds Mini, I’m reminded of a scene from the movie Moneyball. A recently acquired player learns that, unlike other teams around the league, the Oakland A’s make players pay for soda in the locker room. When he asks management about it, he’s informed that the team likes to keep the money on the field — giving them the best chance to win.
Sony WF-C700N review: Signature sound without breaking the bank
Premium listening without paying a high premium
Sony is no stranger to the wireless earbud category, and its flagship WF-1000XM line has topped our favorite earbuds roundups for years. Suffice it to say, Sony knows how to make fantastic earbuds. While the WF-C700N earbuds aren’t quite entry-level at $120, the cost-cutting calculus involved in designing great earbuds in this price range is nothing like it is with flagship ones.
SoundPeats Capsule3 Pro earbuds review: Premium sound, not-so-premium price
Hard plastic and a mediocre app are the only things holding these earbuds back
The wireless earbud market has exploded in recent years, with more good options than ever before. Not all of those quality picks are pricey, either: with 12mm drivers, low-latency gaming mode, and active noise cancelation for a bargain-bin MSRP of $70, the SoundPeats Capsule 3 Pro are a good pick for anyone looking to save a buck on their next pair of true wireless earbuds.
HP Poly Voyager Free 60+ review: Great — if somebody else is paying
They're pricy, but it's justified by great sound and features
It’s easy to find great true wireless earbuds, but most of them feel very similar, lacking anything interesting to stand out from the crowd. However, Poly’s new Voyager Free 60 series is taking a stab at enlightening the experience with a case featuring touchscreen controls and a mind-blowing set of features. While these buds are marketed toward corporate buyers, and even feature certifications for the top video chat services, they’re pretty great for just about everybody, as long as you can stomach the price — or get your employer to cover it.
Samsung got into the true wireless earbud game early on, but its Icon-branded buds were unreliable and had terrible battery life. The Galaxy Buds line has been far superior, and Samsung has only beefed up its true wireless credentials over time. Almost every Unpacked event has featured a new pair of Samsung earbuds, and the most recent one was no exception. Alongside the new foldables, Samsung unveiled the $150 Galaxy Buds2.
Tribit FlyBuds C1 review, one month later: Buy these (or something like these)
Lots to like about these earbuds, but there are plenty like them
