If you prefer a more immersive audio experience for calls and meetings, the Audio Technica ATH-TWX7 earbuds have excellent mic quality and are also very good for music and TV. They're lighter, have a low latency mode for gaming, and are sweatproof, making them suited for exercise. However, if you prioritize a luxurious feel and the best noise isolation for air travel, the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay H95 headphones might be worth the higher price. They offer superior comfort and longer battery life but are less portable and not exercise-friendly. Both have very good overall sound quality and active noise cancelling. Give Feedback

Engadget
Billy Steele | January 2024
"There’s plenty to like about the ATH-TWX7. A robust set of features brings a lot of convenience to your day. But a few of those tools could still use some fine-tuning and the lack of automatic pausing in 2024 is a head scratcher. Still, the audio is mostly good, and transparency mode is better than most. Add in the solid call quality and the in-app voice test and the ATH-TWX7 are a worthy consideration, especially at this price. Too bad it falls short of being a more complete package some of the competition offers for a slightly larger investment."
