This article was originally published on Make the Sound Better. I have edited this content, updating the recommendations to be more relevant for 2023. With the advent of the iconic Apple Airpods, wired listening is now a thing of the past. However, there are plenty of true wireless earbuds that sound comparable or even better than Apple’s…
The Lypertek PurePlay Z5 launched a few days ago as the successor to the superb Lypertek PurePlay Z3 2.0. These are the first ANC earbuds from Lypertek, and they are a surprisingly good first attempt. October 2022 Update – New Lower Price While Nothing has just hiked the price of the Ear (1) by an…
The Lypertek PurePlay Z3 & TEVI earbuds were widely praised by users and critics alike. Lypertek has now launched their successor, the upgrade is so big that it skipped the Z4 and went straight to the Lypertek PurePlay Z5 (though the PurePlay Z3 2.0 could be classed as the 4th model). The big upgrade is…
I have reviewed quite a few EarFun earbuds over the past two years, and they have consistently been good for the price you pay. I was impressed with the original Earfun Air Pro, which I reviewed almost a year ago. Now they are back with a second-generation model that claims to offer a superior level…
I have been impressed with all the headphones and earbuds I have reviewed from Cleer so far, they are big on features and performance while being low on price. The Cleer Ally Plus II are still one of my go-to pairs of earphones for both fitness and general walking around. The Cleer Roam NC is…
Honor launched their latest affordable Earbuds 2 Lite earlier this month. With an RRP of £69.99 they were cheap for ANC TWS earbuds to start with, but you can already pick them up for under £50 on Amazon. Most earbuds at this price offer quite a good sound quality nowadays but fail in many other…
The Nothing ear (1) earbuds have probably been the most marketed and hyped earbuds in existence. As much as I like Carl Pei and what he did with OnePlus I have found the whole Nothing campaign cringeworthy and annoying. Weekly press releases for minor details quickly became tiring. It wouldn’t have been bad if it…
Elevoc is a new company entering the TWS earbud market with the brand launching via Indiegogo. Rather than some generic earbuds, Elevoc has developed their earbuds to offer superior noise-cancelling for calls than most competing models. This is then combined with a relatively low price point for the ANC market, and it makes them quite…
After months of hype with incremental releases of information, the Nothing ear (1) has finally launched. While I think the hype around an earbud launch has been a little excessive, they do sound quite impressive, let’s just hope they can live up to this hype. Features: A unique transparent charging case The earbud stem and…
This morning I woke up to two press announcements about active noise cancelling TWS earbuds. One, which is the fifth press announcement about the Nothing earbuds over since April, trickling annoyingly small bits of details. The other from OPPO, that just went straight in and announced everything. The OPPO Enco Free2 earbuds are the perfect…
The Cleer Ally Plus II was announced last week, and I have been using them since. These build upon the success of the Cleer Ally Plus, upgrading the Qualcomm QCC5121 to the QCC5141, which brings with it Bluetooth 5.2, aptX Adaptive and improved ANC performance. Specification Qualcomm QCC5141 SoC with Bluetooth 5.2 & aptX Adaptive Superior sound…
Another day another TWS earbud review. In my recent review of the EarFun Free 2, they stood out for implementing the new popular Qualcomm QCC3040 SoC, which offers aptX and Bluetooth 5.2, plus they integrated wireless charging. The SoundPEATS T2, which are similarly priced, have active noise cancellation as their main feature. Specification Bluetooth Chip:…
