If you also found the latest AirPods 4 underwhelming, these are a few alternatives you could look into.
Underwhelming ANC against high-end noise, uncomfortable fit, and poor battery life among a couple other things.
It's between the new AirPods 4, the 2022-AirPods Pro 2, and the ancient AirPods Max. Here's how to find the right ones for your ears.
Turn the dial down on typical commotion with Apple's new AirPods.
We also spend some time with the AirPods Max which now support USB-C charging and come in a batch of new fun colors.
The high-end AirPods 4 retail for $180 and the base model for $130. Both releases are open to pre-order today and will launch on September 20.
The Major V feature quite a few frills, but their overall sound is disappointing.
OpenRun Pro 2 sport of a host of welcome upgrades and finally ditches its proprietary magnetic charger for USB-C.
These buds are a great value but if you're in need of good ANC, you'll have to look elsewhere.
Average at best in some departments; critically underwhelming in others.
These features might help it pass the already high bar set by the previous generation Pixel Buds Pro.
The Pixel Buds Pro 2 promise better bass, treble, and ANC, but the most significant improvement may be the buds design.
Looking at the leap just a $70 difference is making in terms of value, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pros are the wiser option here.
Apart from the overly done bass, it's hard to find many flaws on the Buds 3 Pro.
Earbuds have featured the same kind of speakers for decades, and xMEMS is the first to replace those with MEMS speakers.
The Pros feature clearer, more treble-focused sound along with some bells and whistles such as blade lights.
The Bravia Theater U offers great audio, but it needs an app to measure your ears for a Bravia TV; plus, it requires a wired connection to a PlayStation 5.
If any company can revive the standalone gadget, it's the one that sold us all on it in the first place.
The Ace's biggest selling point is an audio swap feature that requires you to own an $800 Sonos sound bar.
The Sonos Ace is available for pre-order today for $450.
