If you prioritize high-quality calls and meetings, the Audio Technica ATH-TWX7 offers excellent performance and very good gaming, TV, and video capabilities, with the added benefit of active noise cancelling to reduce background noise. For music enthusiasts, they provide a very good listening experience, though they also come with a higher price. On the other hand, the Baseus Bowie MA10, while less expensive, may not deliver the same level of audio quality, especially for music and calls. However, they are a great choice for exercise with their sweatproof certification and long battery life. Both options offer customization through an app and a comfortable fit, but if budget is a concern and you're looking for earbuds for more casual listening and fitness use, the MA10 might suffice. Conversely, for premium sound and noise isolation, particularly during travel or in noisy environments, the ATH-TWX7 is the superior choice. 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."

"Even if the Bowie MA10 only had some of the features and performance they offer at double the price, they’d be a helluva good value. But given that they far exceed any other earbuds at this price, if you’re looking for an ultra-affordable set of wireless earbuds and you don’t mind their big charging case, you just can’t go wrong."
