Wireless

Weirdly-named Hong Kong wireless earbud manufacturer Soundpeats has released what it calls its best-sounding hybrid wireless earphones yet, and since we were so impressed with the last set we tried, we thought we'd check out the latest and greatest.

When the Phantom wireless speaker dropped in 2015, it looked like nothing on the market and sounded as good as it looked. Devialet's Gemini true wireless earphones have a similar look and promise a "truly unmatched on-the-go listening experience."

Grado Labs opted to take its sweet time for its first wireless headphones, not joining the already crowded space until 2018 with the GW100 open-backed over-ears. Now the company has followed a similar path for its first true wireless earphones.

True wireless earphones are a great way to listen to music on the move without the blight of cable spaghetti. But getting a good fit is vital and the supplied tips might not be up to the job. Ultimate Ears aims to fix that with the UE Fits.

Around this time last year, Marshall released a new version of its Major wireless headphones that offered a ludicrous 60 hours of per charge use time. Now the brand has thrown another 20 hours into the mix with the release of the Major IV on-ears.

Not everyone's hearing is the same, and the Xellence earphones account for this by offering real-time app-based sound profile tweaking. The buds also feature active noise cancellation, and are fine tuned by renowned DJ, songwriter and producer Kygo.

For years, the noise cancellation prowess of the QuietComfort range of headphones from Bose has been at the top of the game. Now the audio gear maker has managed to miniaturize the tech and squeeze it inside a new pair of true wireless earphones.

Though ditching cables for on-the-move listening can be liberating, ensuring a tight fit – which is vital when employing noise cancellation – can lead to discomfort. Qualcomm is looking to make a secure fit less of a pain with Adaptive ANC.

Mobile music lovers are pretty much spoiled for choice when it comes to true wireless earphones these days, and now there's another option courtesy of Samsung – the much rumored, and quite unusual-looking, Galaxy Buds Live.

A New Zealand-based startup has developed a method of safely and wirelessly transmitting electric power across long distances without the use of copper wire, and is working on implementing it with the country's second-largest power distributor.

Danish high-end audio gear firm Bang&Olufsen and Swiss sports footwear brand On Running have teamed up for a limited edition pair of B&O's E8 Sport true wireless earphones to help you power through your workout with music.

Last year, LG launched some true wireless earphones that came with a charging case designed to blast the buds with UV light to kill any bacteria. Now the company has brought the latest version of the bug-killing mobile music solution to the US.
