What reviewers said

1MORE Dual Driver ANC Pro

The 1MORE Dual Driver ANC Pro is a comfortable neckband-style earphone that combines hybrid active noise cancellation with a dual-driver setup for balanced, warm sound. It offers solid battery life, LDAC support, and an IPX5 rating, making it a feature-rich choice at an affordable price. While ANC is effective for low-frequency noise, higher-pitched sounds may still pass through.

  • Pro:Strong hybrid ANC for the price
  • Pro:Warm, balanced tuning with dual drivers
  • Pro:Good battery life, especially with ANC off
  • Con:ANC lets some high-frequency noise through
  • Con:Sound signature shifts when ANC is toggled
  • Con:No multipoint connection

Realme Buds Wireless 2

The Realme Buds Wireless 2 is an affordable neckband that packs a surprising number of features for its price, including adaptive ANC, multipoint connectivity, and LDAC support. It offers long battery life, a bass-forward sound signature, and a handy companion app, making it a strong value pick for budget-conscious listeners. While its audio quality is decent and call handling works fine, some users may notice slight audio lag and the ANC isn't the most effective at blocking out noise.

  • Pro:Excellent battery life with up to 22 hours of playback
  • Pro:Supports LDAC, AAC, and SBC codecs for flexible audio streaming
  • Pro:Adaptive ANC and transparency mode for versatile listening
  • Con:ANC performance is limited and lets in some ambient noise
  • Con:Occasional audio delay can be noticeable in videos or games
  • Con:Sound quality is good but not exceptional for critical listening
