If you prioritize call quality and listening to music with the option of exercising while wearing them, the Audio Technica ATH-TWX7 earbuds are a great midrange option; they are also equipped with active noise cancelling, low latency for gaming, and the convenience of LDAC codec for higher-quality audio. However, if you're looking for over-ear comfort, especially for long periods such as during air travel, and don't mind sacrificing call quality and suitability for exercise, the Soundcore Space One headphones may be more economical. They offer very good noise isolation and robust build quality but have lower overall performance in other areas. Both are wireless, yet the Soundcore Space One also includes a wired option, which might come in handy if you run out of battery. Give Feedback

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."

"The Anker Soundcore Space One noise-cancelling headphones are stylish, comfortable, and affordable. They offer better active noise cancellation than we expect for the price, and their sculpted audio impresses thanks to the adjustable EQ and support for the hi-res LDAC codec. Overall, they’re an excellent value and well worth your attention if you're on a budget."
