Bluetooth Headphones

The Soul Emotion Max might win you over with ANC, bass and comfort, but much of the rest is a letdown.

TCL’s MoveAudio S600 are an amazing value, delivering effective hybrid active-noise cancellation for less than $100.

The Master & Dynamic MW08 Sport is a sturdier, more expensive version of the original with similar performance.

The Jaybird Vista 2 retains the original’s unbreakable design and lively sound, with newly added ANC, but not everything runs smoothly.

The $129 Cleer Ally Plus II offers respectable noise cancellation and sound, though it requires more features and fine-tuning in some areas.

The Cambridge Audio Melomania Touch delivers more than its money’s worth in audio and battery life, but acts buggy at times.

The Status Audio Between Pro is a worthy AirPods competitor, though it could benefit from more features and a lower price point.

The House of Marley Positive Vibration XL ANC has great sound and battery life, but also lacks performance in many areas.

The Beats Studio Buds delivers dynamic sound and effective noise cancellation at a great price, but compromises on select features.

The Cleer Enduro ANC gives you enticing sound and extensive playtimes at an unbeatable price.
