Audio Reviews

The EarFun Air Pro 4+ are the best budget earbuds I’ve ever tested. With delicate, balanced treble and a rich midrange and bass, these are the buds to beat.

Creative Stage Pro goes where very few soundbars go: a soundbar-and-subwoofer for $170. It’s surprisingly impressive, but can’t contend with premium options.

The Soundcore Sleep A30s make serious headway over the previous and are the only sleep earbuds I'd recommend you buy.

The Skullcandy Push 720 Open are decent waterproof workout buds with a useful case, but you can get more for your money elsewhere.

The Denon Home Sound Bar 550 is a premium soundbar with incredible audio quality and sound system integration, but at a cost.

The Beyerdynamic Aventho 100 on-ear headphones make nearly every genre sound phenomenal, and they boast highly effective ANC and long battery life too.

The Beats Powerbeats Fit bring an improved fit and a different sound profile, as well as a smaller charging case. They don’t get some of the upgrades we were hoping for, however.

The Rode NTH-50 are studio headphones with faithful audio reproduction, especially for the mids and high-end, and an utter steal at just $109.

The Samsung Q600F soundbar + subwoofer is an affordable way to get cinematic sound quality at home, but there are no smart features.

Cambridge’s new earbuds might just be the best sounding buds for the price, while packing in solid ANC and excellent battery life. All in a handsome, if unremarkable-looking, package.
