What reviewers said
Nothing Ear 1
The Nothing Ear 1 are stylish true wireless earbuds that offer a well-rounded feature set for their price, including hybrid ANC, wireless charging, and a transparent design. While their sound is balanced and pleasant, it doesn't quite reach the top tier of the category, and they face stiff competition from cheaper rivals that offer similar or better performance in some areas. They're a solid budget-friendly choice, especially if you value design and a good feature list over absolute audio excellence.
- Pro:Attractive, distinctive transparent design
- Pro:Effective hybrid active noise cancellation for the price
- Pro:Supports wireless charging and USB-C
- Con:Battery life is modest, especially with ANC on
- Con:No multipoint Bluetooth connectivity
- Con:Companion app and case design have some compromises
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
