Transparency mode is now more useful because it’s adaptive, allowing you to have natural conversations when you don’t want to remove your buds.īattery life has had a boost.

During our testing, we rated the sound on offer from the Pro 2 as excellent – there’s rich audio across genres and a wide and expansive soundstage.ĪNC is also improved and performs remarkably well, blocking out almost all external noises.

Design changes are subtle, but audio performance is upgraded with new drivers and amplifiers.

The Pro 2 buds are a significant step up from the original AirPods Pro. The Apple AirPods Pro 2 are excellent earbuds, offering improved audio performance and fantastic ANC in Apple’s comfortable and familiar AirPods-esque design. But they're a much better choice if you have an iPhone than if you don't. It's a resounding triumph – and Apple should be worried. Basically, the two individual drive units are built concentrically so that they radiate sound from the same point. But rather than joining the ever-growing poor imitation pile, Honor has taken the shape of the pro-suffixed AirPods and added on-device volume control to the stems, a more customizable and enjoyable noise-cancellation experience, a new slick and easy app (as long as you don’t own an iPhone – it's only available for Android) and most importantly delivered a fuller, meatier bass, a more expansive soundstage and a better, more detailed sonic experience overall.Īnd it has managed to do it all at a more palatable price point than Apple’s Pro alternative. Despite the Earbuds 3 Pro's familiar headshell and toothbrush-head design, under the hood Honor has gone out on a limb by implementing the world’s first coaxial dual-driver design with 11mm dynamic driver and piezoelectric ceramic tweeter here.

Yes, they look very much like Apple’s AirPods Pro and no Honor Earbuds 3 Pro review worth its Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity can ignore this fact. That’s why the Sony WF-1000XM4 are hands-down the best true wireless earbuds you can buy today.

That may mean that other true wireless earbuds surpass the Sony WF-1000XM4 in particular areas – noise cancellation, for example – but no other model comes close to offering such excellent quality across the board. ‘Communicative’ may seem a redundant word when discussing a person’s singing voice, but here it’s absolutely appropriate: if they’re anything, the WF-1000XM4 are communicative. Listening to Kate Bush’s Lake Tahoe, the ability of the WF-1000XM4 to identify and incorporate the tiniest details or the most fleeting transients into a much broader picture was obvious. They may lack aptX support, they make up for that with great call quality, excellent in-app features, and a sense you've bought a classy pair of earbuds. With the WF-1000XM4, the company has combined performance, ergonomics, and build quality more effectively than ever before.Ĭompared to their predecessors, the Sony WF-1000XM3, these new wireless earphones offer enough quality-of-life features to make them worth upgrading to, even if they are more expensive. Sony is largely responsible for the health of the active noise-cancelling, true wireless earbuds market. The best earbuds are a great option if you want a way to listen to your favorite music on the move, whether you enjoy working out to a high-energy soundtrack at the gym, putting on relaxing classical music on a long haul flight or catching up with podcasts on your commute.

We also recommend the Honor Earbuds 3 Pro, an excellent Android alternative to Apple's AirPods Pro – but then, of course, there's the new, enhanced AirPods Pro 2. For example, the JLab Go Air Pop buds are punching above their weight for battery, features and sound performance, as are the Audio-Technica ATH-SQ1TW. As we move calmly into the last quarter of 2022 (in the UK you might be grabbing a sweater, elsewhere you're perhaps putting one back in a drawer), Sony's WF-1000MX4 continue to hold off the competition at the top of our recommended earbuds list, but they're far from the only buds to deliver a best-in-class excellent mix of comfort, features and sound – and the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro prove that.Īnd although the Sonys are a premium proposition, you don’t need to spend a small fortune to get the best buds.
