ADIDAS Z.N.E. 01 ANC

They look good and they feel good, but battery life isn't all it could be

These buds under the Adidas banner are actually made by Zound, the same people who do Marshall and Urbanears headphones. Unfortunately for us - and perhaps you too - their sound is much closer to that of Urbanears, which we don't like, than they are to Marshall, which we do.

The main issue here is pricing. The Adidas Z.N.E. 01 ANC is the same price as the Jabra Elite 7 Active but, to our ears, clearly inferior. That is not to say they should be entirely discounted, however. Especially if you find them, erm, discounted... which they probably will be.

They shook loose a bit when we did press-ups, but never actually fell out
