Samsung’s Galaxy Buds+ will reportedly lack active noise cancellation
[ad_1] When we reviewed the Galaxy Buds last March, one of our complaints was the average audio quality. The new earbuds promise improved sound, but we don’t know yet how they’ll deliver that. The Galaxy Buds lost points, too, for poor microphone quality. SamMobile says the Galaxy Buds+ will have four microphones — two more […]

Skullcandy’s Crusher ANC block noise while you feel the bass
[ad_1] The Crusher ANC still offers the adjustable haptic low-end tone that’s the trademark feature of this headphone line.

Skullcandy says the Crusher ANC has the “broadest range of […]
Sennheiser’s new Momentum headphones are improved, but still pricey
[ad_1] Active noise cancellation (ANC) and a Transparent Hearing tool allow you block out what’s going on around you, or let some of the outside world in.

Simply the best true wireless earbuds
