Report: Premium true wireless earbuds 1.0
Our independent and unbiased reports helps specialists, product owners and marketeers objectively compare and measure premium earbuds and identify their strengths and weaknesses.
How well do premium earbuds really work?
The convenience and portability of wireless earbuds have made them increasingly popular among consumers. As demand for high-quality audio devices rises, the market for premium earbuds expands. For consumers and product developers alike, navigating the market can be confusing.
SenseLab's Premium true wireless earbuds 1.0 Quality Rating Report report offers companies and people interested in the earbud product segment a list of rating and score results for audio quality and consumers' most desired features.
The report features five products chosen based on their market-leading position in the high-end premium segment, with a price range from $200 and above, all with active noise cancellation.
The winner depends on preference
The report structure is based on evaluations of five parameters:
- Music
- Call
- Battery life
- Bluetooth
- Total noise cancellation.
For some people, audio quality matters the most when buying earbuds. Others prioritise speech performance or depend on the product's battery's ability to last from London to New York. Removing a noisy background while on public transportation is most important for others.
