Audio Reviews

The luxury price tag is justified by incredible sound and a clever personal EQ. While not perfect, the Noble Audio FoKus Artemis are still utterly beautiful.

Finally, sweat-proof over-ear headphones with ANC

Noise cancellation to give Bose a run for its money

The EarFun Wave Pro X are decent budget headphones. They boast clear vocals and pack 90 hours of battery life, but they have some flaws that I can't look past.

The AirPods 5 surprised me. The sound quality and ANC are highly impressive for just $119, and while the battery is disappointing, other areas make up for it.

The Tribit XSound Go is a decent portable speaker with crisp treble and IPX7 waterproofing, but it lacks punchy bass, custom EQ, and is prone to scratches.

The Beyerdynamic Aventho Y are comfortable over-ear headphones with effective ANC and long battery life, but they sound boxy and flat straight out of the box.

The SoundPEATS UU2 earbuds are a budget dream and prove that you can get great audio for less, even with some minor issues.

The Bose QC 2nd Gen add Immersive Audio and USB-C support to an incredibly comfortable frame, but they lack wear detection and top-tier battery life.

The Kanto UKI bookshelf speakers are now a staple on my desk for their great sound and cute looks, but additional purchases make them shine.
