FEATURES Noise cancelling, transparency, custom EQ, gesture support, IPX4
Klipsch’s noise-cancelling true wireless headphones are a pricey contender, costing £60 more than the AirPods Pro.
The chunky metal case and side hinge is reminiscent of a Zippo lighter. A silicone base gives it solid grip when placed down and, on the inside, a three-bar light shows the case’s charge.
A generous six pairs of tips means it’s easy to get a snug fit, with each earbud sitting flush in the ear canal. Passive noise cancelling is very good, but active noise cancellation reduces ambient sounds even further. It’s effective, but not AirPods Pro effective, and while transparency is good, it’s not stellar.
There are some neat tricks: gesture control (nod to accept calls, for instance), and Sidekicks, which turns on ANC when music starts, and switches to transparency when pausing, or taking a call. But there’s no audio auto pausing when removing them.
