What reviewers said
Bluedio Hi Hurricane TWS
The Bluedio Hi Hurricane TWS are budget true wireless earbuds that mimic the look of popular earbuds at a very low price. They offer a simple feature set with basic Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity and a compact charging case, but their performance is hampered by reliability issues and subpar call quality. While they are cheap and comfortable, they are best suited for listeners with minimal expectations for audio fidelity and stability.
- Pro:Very affordable price point
- Pro:Comfortable fit for basic use
- Pro:Convenient play/pause by removing right earbud
- Con:Unreliable auto power on/off and pairing
- Con:Poor microphone quality for calls
- Con:Bulky design that may not appeal to all
Nothing CMF Buds Neo
The CMF Buds Neo deliver impressive value for around $22, combining a punchy, bass-forward sound with surprisingly effective adaptive ANC and marathon battery life of up to 52 hours with the case. They offer a comfortable, lightweight fit, app support with a custom EQ, and quick charging, though some premium conveniences like wear detection are absent. Overall, they stand out as a top budget TWS option for listeners who prioritize bass, battery, and noise cancellation over extra features.
- Pro:Strong bass-heavy sound with good volume
- Pro:Effective adaptive ANC for the price
- Pro:Excellent battery life (up to 52h with case)
- Con:No wear detection sensor
- Con:Finicky touch controls at times
- Con:No physical pairing button on the buds
