What reviewers said
Edifier X2
The Edifier X2 is a budget-friendly true wireless option that mimics the AirPods design, offering strong call quality and long battery life for the price. Sound performance is decent but can be inconsistent depending on how well the semi-in-ear fit works for you, and the lack of extra features like app support or multipoint is expected at this cost. It's a solid pick for basic use, but comfort may be a dealbreaker for some listeners.
- Pro:Very affordable price point
- Pro:Good call quality for the money
- Pro:Long total battery life with the charging case
- Con:Fit can be problematic for some ears
- Con:Sound quality is average and depends on fit
- Con:No app support or EQ customization
Soundcore Space A40
The Soundcore Space A40 earbuds deliver a well-rounded budget experience, combining effective adaptive noise cancellation, balanced audio, and long battery life with multipoint connectivity. They offer strong value at around $100, with a comfortable fit and support for LDAC, though a few ergonomic and performance quirks keep them from being flawless.
- Pro:Effective adaptive ANC for the price
- Pro:Balanced, pleasant sound with LDAC support
- Pro:Long battery life with wireless charging case
- Con:Microphone quality is mediocre
- Con:Touch controls can be inconsistent
- Con:Case hinge feels less sturdy
