Battery life is up to nine hours at moderate volume levels the slightly bulky charging case stores an additional three charges versus seven hours for the previous model.

The CX also adds an extra microphone on each bud, which does improve the voice-calling experience and makes it easier for callers to hear you speak, even in noisy environments.

To be clear, however, these are not active noise-canceling earbuds, they simply offer noise reduction for calls. Read our Sennheiser CX first take. Samsung's Galaxy Buds Pro are slightly superior to the new, slightly more affordable Galaxy Buds 2 -- at least when it comes to sound, noise-canceling performance and water-resistance they're fully waterproof. They also have a couple of features missing from the Buds 2, including Samsung's new Audio virtual surround feature that's similar to Apple's spatial audio Audio only works with certain Galaxy devices, but the list is growing.

The Buds Pro are mostly impressive, although just how good you think they are will ultimately depend on how well they fit your ears. For some people, the smaller Galaxy Buds 2 will be the better fit -- and better choice.

Read our Galaxy Buds Pro review. Edifier has a few different new true-wireless earbuds and most, including the TWS NB, are very good values. While the TWS NB buds are missing a sensor that automatically pauses your music when you take them out of your ears, they feature very good sound quality for the money, decent active noise canceling with a transparency mode, and solid voice calling they have three microphones in each bud for noise canceling and noise reduction during calls.

They fit my ears well -- they're essentially AirPods Pro clones -- and while the touch controls are a little limited, they are programmable using the Edifier Connect app for iOS and Android you can also set their level of touch sensitivity. They have an IP54 rating, which means they're splash- and dustproof, and battery life is rated at four hours with noise canceling on and five hours with it off at moderate volume levels. That's only OK, but you do get an additional two charges via the charging case.

They're also available in black, light purple and pink. The MW08 offers some significant improvements, including the addition of solid noise canceling and call quality, that make it one of the top models on this list. The app currently has no way to tweak the sound profile I'm OK with that because the sound profile is just fine for my tastes. Each earbud has a physical button to control playback, not touch controls.

These buds may not fit everyone's ear equally well, but they certainly have a distinct look, as well as excellent sound and a great listening experience if you can get a tight seal I was able to get a secure fit with the largest tip.

They deliver more of an audiophile sound profile, with smooth, well-balanced sound and well-defined bass. This model has new 11mm drivers, which add a bit of punch to the bass and a touch better clarity.

The MW08 works well with all genres of music. I prefer the matte finishes of the cases that come with the black and blue versions, and you also get a secondary pouch for safekeeping yes, the charging case can get scratched up if you leave it in a bag. Water-resistant : Yes IPX5 rating -- withstands sustained spray. Say what you will about the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live's bean-shaped design, but they might just be the most innovative new true wireless earbuds of the past year.

Like the standard AirPods, they have an open design -- you don't jam an ear tip into your ear -- and they're quite comfortable to wear and fit my ears more securely than the AirPods. That said, they won't fit everybody's ears equally well. These wireless buds are discreet and basically sit flush with your ear without a little white pipe extending out from them. They deliver good sound and work well as a headset for making calls, with good background noise reduction so callers can hear you clearly even when you're in noisier environments.

While they feature active noise canceling, it's mild compared to the noise canceling in earbuds that have a noise isolation design. In other words, buy them for their design and sound, not their noise-canceling features. Water-resistant : Yes IPX2 rating -- sweat-resistant and protects against light splashes.

At one time, we had the cheaper EarFun Free on this list, but the newer and more feature-rich EarFun Free Pro buds are the ones I'm using more for sporting activity these days. They have active noise cancellation with a transparency mode, wireless charging and Bluetooth 5.

Rated for seven hours of battery life without the noise-canceling function on, or about six hours with it on, they're IPX5 water-resistant, which means they can withstand a sustained spray of water. They sound very good for the money, with relatively clean, balanced sound and bass that has some kick to it -- they're pretty open-sounding.

Lightweight and comfortable to wear, they have little fins that help keep them securely in your ears, and they're fairly discreet-looking. Don't expect them to cancel noise as well as the AirPods Pro , but they do provide some decent muffling. It's worth noting that you can use either the left or right earbud independently and there's a low-latency mode for video watching and presumably gaming. Call quality was decent, too: Callers said they heard some background noise but it wasn't intrusive and they could hear my voice well.

The touch controls were responsive. Water-resistant : Yes IPX5 rating -- can withstand a sustained spray of water. While Jabra's Elite 75t series has been out a while, they're still one of the best true wireless earbuds out there and have added noise canceling via a firmware upgrade. Earlier firmware updates improved voice-calling performance. The Elite 75t isn't quite as comfortable to wear as the AirPods Pro, but they arguably sound a touch better, with clearer overall sound and slightly better bass definition, so long as you get a tight seal.

The step-up 85t has more powerful bass. Water-resistant : Yes IP55 rating -- can withstand heavy sprays of water. Read our Jabra Elite 75t review. Google's Pixel Buds A-Series are kind of unusual, in that they're new but not exactly an upgrade. However, instead of adding new features -- like active noise canceling -- they've actually lost a few.

That new lower price is the real story here and what makes these a bonafide true-wireless value, particularly for Android users. Read the Pixel Buds A-Series review. One of our top picks for runners, the Jaybird Vista is a good set of true wireless sports earbuds that lock in your ears and are fully waterproof. With the Vista 2 arriving, the Vista is being discounted and may be the better value.

Water-resistant : Yes IPX7 -- fully waterproof and sweat-proof.
