In-ear reviews & products

UPDATED Not the latest Bose noise-cancelling earbuds, but still amazing all-rounders and up there with rivals from Sony and Sennheiser.

UPDATED Sennheiser’s wired earbuds look the part and have some sonic strengths, but they struggle against the very best.

The AZ60M2 aren’t perfect, but there’s enough here for us to be charmed by Technics’ wireless buds, if not entirely won over.

The Technics EAH-AZ80 face an uphill struggle if they are going to offer a viable alternative to their high-flying rivals at this ultra-competitive price point.

The JBL Tour Pro 2 feature an innovative on-case display, but can they make a case for themselves with class-leading sound?

Sennheiser brings its ‘audiophile’ IE wired earbuds to a lower price point than ever before.

B&W has a lot to prove with the premium Pi7 S2 wireless earbuds, but are they a cut above the current class leaders?

The Ear (2) wireless earbuds continue to look the business, but question marks remain about their ability to deliver balanced, quality audio.

JBL’s wireless earbuds tick a lot of boxes and don’t cost the earth, but is their audio quality up to scratch?

Jabra’s betting that cramming full-sized functionality into some of the smallest, lightest earbuds around is a recipe for success.
