True wireless earphones have flooded the market, and sorting through this abundance is sometimes difficult. We have collected top models of TWS headphones that are relevant this year. They are distinguished by both high-quality sound and support for modern technologies.<\/p>\n

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation)<\/b><\/h2>\n

Apple has updated its TWS noise canceling headphones this year.\u00a0Their design has practically not changed: short legs, oval case.\u00a0The case now has an eyelet for a cord and\u00a0a speaker\u00a0that helps you find your headphones through the\u00a0Locator\u00a0.\u00a0It would seem, trifles, but they make operation much more convenient.<\/p>\n

The sound was improved due to the new H2\u00a0chip\u00a0, in addition, the headphones support the Bluetooth 5.3 protocol – with it, the sound transmission delay is minimal.\u00a0Controls have also been updated: now it is enough to slide your hand up or down along the earpiece to adjust the volume of the music (no need to press the leg).<\/p>\n

Noise cancellation works great: users claim that external sounds are almost inaudible in the subway.\u00a0The transparency mode was made \u201csmart\u201d: the system itself can turn on the noise reduction if a sharp sound can deafen the user.\u00a0Autopause still works only for owners of\u00a0Apple\u00a0technology .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Airpods\u00a0Pro\u00a02nd generation also received improved autonomy: 6 hours instead of 4.5 with ANC turned off, and up to 30 hours with a case.\u00a0The standard set of ear pads complements the XS size set.<\/p>\n

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro released this year have slightly changed\u00a0ergonomics\u00a0compared to the previous version, and the case has become completely matte.\u00a0There are three color schemes: there is graphite, white and lilac.<\/p>\n

Inside, the Buds 2 Pro have dual dynamic drivers, as well as three microphones each for better noise-cancelling performance.\u00a0The manufacturer calls the latter\u00a0intelligent\u00a0: the device automatically switches to transparency mode when it\u00a0recognizes\u00a0a voice nearby.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you use Buds 2 Pro with Samsung gadgets, they are capable of playing 24-bit\u00a0Hi-Fi\u00a0audio.\u00a0In addition, the heapdhones supports Audio 360 spatial sound. The\u00a0Bluetooth\u00a05.3 protocol allows minimizing audio delay.<\/p>\n

Autonomy has become higher: on a single charge without a case, the headphones will live up to 8 hours without ANC, and with a case – up to 29 hours.\u00a0At the same time, the case supports wireless charging, and 5 minutes in the case gives up to an hour of music playback.\u00a0Finally, the case is IPX7 water-resistant, which means you can even swim (but not dive) for a short time while wearing the headphones.<\/p>\n

Marshall M\u00a0<\/b>otif ANC<\/b><\/h2>\n

Marshall’s first\u00a0TWS headphones\u00a0with active noise cancellation are made in a recognizable corporate style: both the\u00a0headset\u00a0and the case are covered with plastic imitating black leather, engraved with the brand logo.<\/p>\n

Dynamic 6 mm drivers are responsible for the sound here, for noise reduction and voice quality – three microphones in each earbud.\u00a0In terms of sound, users praise the “signature Marshall sound”, which has proven itself well over the years of the brand’s existence.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Autonomy is average: with ANC, the headphones will work for 4.5 hours, without it – 6 hours.\u00a0The case gives 20 and 26 hours of work, respectively, and 15 minutes of charging in it provides the headphones with 1 hour of work in playback mode.\u00a0The case also supports\u00a0Qi\u00a0wireless\u00a0charging .<\/p>\n

The control functions and the\u00a0equalizer\u00a0can be configured individually in the proprietary application.<\/p>\n

Sony LinkBuds S<\/b><\/h2>\n

Unlike the flagship WF-1000MX4, the new LinkBuds S are very small and light.\u00a0One earphone weighs only 4.8 g. Of course, the new product also has active\u00a0noise reduction\u00a0and a transparency mode that allows you to better hear what is happening around you.\u00a0The\u00a0Sony Headphones Connect\u00a0app offers 20 levels of customization for this mode, an equalizer, and headphone touch button settings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

High- quality sound is provided by the V1\u00a0processor\u00a0(as in the WF-1000XM4) and the DSEE Extreme co-processor – with the help of AI, it improves compressed audio files to a quality close to Hi-Res.\u00a0We also note the conversation recognition function: the headphones turn off when they \u201chear\u201d that you are talking to someone.<\/p>\n

The battery holds up to 6 hours with ANC and up to 9 hours without it, the case gives another 14 hours of operation.\u00a0The model is offered in white, black and beige.<\/p>\n

Realme Buds Air 3<\/b><\/h2>\n

These affordable headphones provide decent sound quality and support a number of flagship features.\u00a0Dynamic drivers with a diameter of 10 mm are responsible for the sound, dual\u00a0microphones\u00a0are responsible for noise reduction .\u00a0There is also a sound transparency mode.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In order to get the minimum audio delay, users are prompted to turn on the game mode.\u00a0Touch control, and thanks to the removal sensors, the\u00a0headset\u00a0activates auto-pause if you remove the earpiece from your ear.<\/p>\n

Water protection is implemented according to the IPX5 standard – neither sweat nor rain is terrible for the\u00a0gadget\u00a0.\u00a0As for autonomy, the model lasts up to 7 hours on a single charge, up to 30 hours with a case.\u00a0And fast charging allows you to replenish the battery in 10 minutes for 100 minutes of music playback.<\/p>\n

Xiaomi Buds 4 Pro<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Xiaomi headphones looks impressive: a streamlined case and the\u00a0headphones\u00a0themselves , black or golden colors.\u00a0The manufacturer promises that inside the case there is an\u00a0antibacterial coating\u00a0.<\/p>\n

The “stuffing” here is flagship.\u00a0The headphones are equipped with 11mm dynamic drivers and triple microphones for\u00a0noise cancellation\u00a0.\u00a0The bone conduction sensor helps to clearly transmit voice during calls.\u00a0The noise reduction has six levels of adjustment, the transparency mode has three.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Like many top models, it supports\u00a0gesture control\u00a0, autopause, spatial audio, auto-talk recognition (Smart Free Pick-up function).\u00a0Headphones support the new\u00a0Bluetooth\u00a05.3 protocol and can connect to two devices at once.<\/p>\n

The battery life of the Buds 4 Pro is impressive: without ANC, they will last up to 9 hours, and the case will extend the work up to 38 hours.<\/p>\n

Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3<\/b><\/h2>\n

The new generation of “music” True Wireless comes in a case with a fabric cover.\u00a0The case is still large, but the headphones themselves have become more ergonomic.\u00a0Noise cancellation is now adaptive, and the case has support for Qi wireless charging.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The sound quality of this model is traditionally at its best, and aptX and AAC codecs are used for its transmission.\u00a0All settings are made in the Smart Control application: there is a three-band\u00a0equalizer\u00a0, a function for sound testing, transparency mode adjustment, control settings and an interesting feature – sound zones.\u00a0Thanks to geolocation, you can set the sound and noise reduction settings in places that you often visit.\u00a0For example, at home, you can turn off ANC and make the music quieter, and turn on noise reduction when you go out onto a busy street.<\/p>\n

The model is presented in gray, black and white colors.\u00a0And the\u00a0headphones\u00a0themselves and the case are protected from water according to the IPX4 standard, that is, they are suitable for active training.<\/p>\n

Honor Earbuds 3 Pro<\/b><\/h2>\n

Introduced at the beginning of 2022, the model received an unusual function for headphones – the measurement of the user’s body temperature.\u00a0Sensors measure the temperature during sports and in everyday life.\u00a0Based on this information, Earbuds 3 Pro predict health problems.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Users praise the detailed and clear sound – for this, the manufacturer uses an original design with an 11 mm dynamic driver and a ceramic tweeter.\u00a0The touch\u00a0volume control is now on the earpiece.<\/p>\n

Triple microphones\u00a0and bone conduction sensors\u00a0are responsible for noise reduction and speech transmission .\u00a0The noise canceler has four modes, including ”\u00a0intelligent\u00a0“.\u00a0There is also a transparency mode.<\/p>\n

Headphones work with\u00a0iPhone\u00a0and Android smartphones, but you can only configure their functions on an\u00a0Android gadget\u00a0through the\u00a0AI\u00a0\u200b\u200bLife app.<\/p>\n

HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2<\/h2>\n

The FreeBuds Pro 2 was developed in collaboration with the\u00a0French\u00a0audio manufacturer\u00a0Devialet\u00a0.\u00a0Accordingly, the emphasis in it is on sound quality.\u00a0Each earbud has two speakers.\u00a0One emitter is responsible for bass, and the second – for high and medium frequencies.\u00a0The device also received\u00a0Hi-Res\u00a0Audio Wireless certification.<\/p>\n

The AI \u200b\u200bLife application is used for tuning: it has an adaptive equalizer with adjustment for each\u00a0ear\u00a0separately.\u00a0The All-Scenario Seamless AI Life function is also interesting – it allows you to quickly switch between sound sources.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As for ANC, the user can choose one of three modes.\u00a0Without noise reduction, the headphones work for about 6.5 hours, when\u00a0charging\u00a0from the case – up to 30 hours.<\/p>\n

Externally, the device is indistinguishable from previous generations and is presented in blue, white and silver.<\/p>\n

JBL Live Pro 2<\/b><\/h2>\n

The headphones of the past year is JBL Live Pro 2. The noise reduction in it has become \u201csmart\u201d, that is, it can adapt to external sounds.\u00a0It is accompanied by Ambient Aware and TalkThru modes.\u00a0The first is actually a transparency mode, the second is to reduce the volume of the music so that you can talk without removing the headphones from your ears.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Users note that this model has a powerful and clear sound, which is provided thanks to 11 mm dynamic drivers.\u00a0The nuances of the sound are adjusted using the equalizer in the proprietary application.\u00a0Also, with its help, you can accurately select ear pads, set up\u00a0a voice assistant\u00a0and prompts, see the\u00a0battery level\u00a0and much more.\u00a0By the way, autonomy is at its best here: the headphones offer 10 hours of operation on a single charge and another 30 with a case, that is, a total of about 40 hours.<\/p>\n

The design of the Live Pro 2 is minimalistic, the legs of the headphones have a\u00a0mirror\u00a0finish, there are four color options: silver, pink, blue and black.\u00a0The device is IPX5 protected from water.<\/p>\n
