It’s annoying when during a really good endurance run your in-ear headphones suddenly slip out of your ear canal and fall to the ground. With many true wireless headphones, this can hardly be avoided, because they are not fixed solidly enough to your ears. The Powerbeats Pro are completely different, with a sturdy bridge and a rubber claw that clings to your ears. But if the price that Apple charges is too high for you, then you should consider the Soundcore Spirit X2 from Anker, which realizes this concept for less than half the cost.
Sennheiser returns to the true wireless market with its true wireless Momentum True Wireless 2 headphones. This pair is more or less the same recipe as the previous model but claims to provide longer battery life and active noise cancelation (ANC).

Not least because of various YouTubers publishing rave reviews, fake AirPods enjoy great popularity. These so-called BlackPods Pro cost a fraction of the original Apple headphones, but how close to they come to the real thing? Let’s find out.
The smallest device with active noise suppression comes from Finland. The QuietOn Sleep are a combination of cuddly earplugs and noise-canceling headphones. We tested the €220 earbuds.
On March 13, the Montblanc MB01 wireless headphones were launched. However, with Sony, Samsung, and Apple in the headphone business, Montblanc faces strong competition. The company is mainly known for its famous and expensive pens, but I wanted to find out whether the manufacturer is also ready for the audio market.
Samsung’s new true-wireless in-ear Galaxy Buds+ convinced me during my one-week test. Compared to their predecessors they come with significantly improved battery life. There’s also improved music quality and especially speech quality for calls. But would I pay the price for the Buds+ myself? Find out in this full review.
If you’re looking for some good over-ear headphones with ANC, you don’t necessarily think of Marshall headphones. But with the new Monitor II A.N.C. the manufacturer now wants to enter the territory of Sony and Bose. Whether or not you have a third ANC option with the Marshall headphones, we will find out for you in this full review.
