What reviewers said

Honor Magic Earbuds/ Huawei Freebuds 3i with ANC

These budget true wireless earbuds offer a premium build and hybrid active noise cancellation, but their performance doesn't quite match the price. Sound quality is average, noise cancellation is modest, and battery life falls short of expectations, making them a mixed value proposition.

  • Pro:Premium, refined look and feel
  • Pro:Hybrid ANC included at a budget price
  • Pro:Lightweight with touch controls and wear detection
  • Con:Mediocre sound quality for the cost
  • Con:Noise cancelling is not very effective
  • Con:Battery life is below average, especially with ANC on

Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 2

Sennheiser's second-gen true wireless earbuds combine rich, detailed audio with effective noise cancellation in a premium, compact design. While the sound is polished and the feature set is solid, they lack multipoint connectivity and may not deliver perfectly neutral tuning for purists. Overall, they remain a compelling high-end choice for those prioritizing musicality and build quality.

  • Pro:Excellent, refined sound quality
  • Pro:Effective noise cancellation
  • Pro:Premium, comfortable design
  • Con:No multipoint connection
  • Con:Sound not perfectly neutral
  • Con:Touch controls can be finicky
