JBL Live Pro 2: Over the years, JBL has put out some decent wireless headphones, but nothing that really excited me too much. It has finally changed with the arrival of the new Samsung brand Live Pro 2 and Live Free 2 sprouts Both sets of tops – the Live Pro 2 have stems while the Live Free 2 have a pill-shaped design – offer a comfortable fit with strong noise cancellation, very good sound quality and voice call performance , plus a robust set of features, including multi-point Bluetooth pairing, an IPX5 splash-proof rating and wireless charging.

Sony WF-1000XM4: Released in 2021, Sony’s WF-1000XM4 won a CNET Editors’ Choice Award. They are still excellent headphones, but Sony has now released the next generation WF-1000XM5. They can be a good option if you find them at a good discount.

They are still among the best truly wireless headphones, but Sennheiser has released the updated Momentum True Wireless 4. Also, the latest AirPods Pro 2 and Sony I bud WF-1000XM5 are undoubtedly superior, so just look to buy the Momentum True Wireless. 3 when they are significantly discounted.
JBL Tour Pro 2: JBL’s Tour Pro 2 headphones have received a lot of attention for bringing something new to true wireless headphones: a full-color touchscreen display integrated into the case that allows you to access the key functions of the headphone and to control the playback and adjust the volume. levels. It’s a bit of a gimmick but still useful. The buds might sound slightly better for their list price, but overall the JBL Tour Pro 2s are very good headphones that offer a good fit, a robust feature set, strong battery life, plus solid noise cancellation. and a voice call performance.

B&O, with three microphones in each earcup that helps. reducing background noise while recording your voice. They’re out of most people’s price range, they’re arguably the best earbuds with stems and they offer slightly better sound than the AirPods Pro 2 with better clarity, deeper, more powerful bass and a richer sound and precise.
Soundcore by Anker Liberty 4: Its sound is not quite at the level of the higher peaks like Apple AirPods Pro 2 and the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 which cost significantly more, but Anker’s Soundcore Liberty 4 headphones have a strong feature set, including spatial audio mode with head tracking, multipoint Bluetooth pairing, up to nine hours of battery life, wireless charging and support for Sony’s LDAC audio codec. which can offer sound improvements if you have the right configuration.
