What reviewers said

FiiO EH11

The FiiO EH11 blends a vintage-inspired look with modern wireless tech, featuring wooden ear cups that also act as control dials. Its semi-open design houses a 40mm dynamic driver, and with LDAC support plus 30 hours of playback, it offers solid performance for a budget-friendly price. Multipoint connectivity and app-based EQ add to its versatility.

  • Pro:Stylish retro-futuristic design with wooden earcups
  • Pro:Long 30-hour battery life
  • Pro:Supports LDAC for high-quality wireless audio
  • Con:No active noise cancellation
  • Con:Semi-open design may leak sound
  • Con:Plastic build might not feel premium

JLab Neon Wireless

The JLab Neon Wireless is an affordable on-ear option that delivers solid sound and comfort for its price point. With a lightweight 135g build, 13-hour battery life, and customizable EQ via buttons, it's a practical pick for budget-conscious listeners. However, it lacks noise cancellation and multipoint connectivity, and its build can feel a bit bulky for some.

  • Pro:Great value for the price
  • Pro:Comfortable fit for extended use
  • Pro:Decent battery life at 13 hours
  • Con:Max volume may not be loud enough for some
  • Con:Bluetooth pairing can be inconsistent
  • Con:Bulky on-ear design
