Nothing Ear 2 – [Added 01/07/2023]
The Nothing Ear (2) stands as a testament to the innovative spirit of the London-based tech company, Nothing. With a unique transparent design and advanced features, these TWS IEMs offer a seamless blend of aesthetics and functionality. Weighing just 4.5 grams each, the Ear (2) is equipped with an 11.6mm custom graphene + polyurethane diaphragm full-range dynamic driver. This, coupled with the LHDC codec, enables the delivery of 24bit Hi-Res Wireless Audio with compatible Android devices. The sound quality is impressive, characterized by a dynamic, clean, and fun sound signature. The bass is impactful, the midrange is clean and neutral, and the treble reaches the top octave without any shrillness. The inears handle congestion well, offering impressive imaging and instrument separation even with complex tracks.
The Ear (2) also delivers a good Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) performance and an exceptional Transparency Mode. While there is room for improvement in the treatment of higher-pitched sounds, the IEMs are a significant step forward for Nothing. However, the battery life of the Ear (2) is a slight drawback. With ANC activated, the inears provide approximately 3.5 hours of hi-res music playback. While this duration may suffice for everyday use, it may prove inadequate for those who spend long hours outdoors. In conclusion, the Nothing Ear (2) is a remarkable product that offers excellent sound quality, advanced features, and a unique design. Despite its minor shortcomings, the Ear (2) stands as a strong contender in the TWS market, offering a high-quality audio experience at a competitive price point.

Earsonics AERO – [Added 10/03/2021]
If you’re looking for an “audiophile-oriented” TWS, this is the one you should take a serious look at. The AERO is special in my eyes simply because of its tremendous coherency, which I think is already a shining example in this particular market.
It’s one of the best options in the TWS category with an excellent sound performance which exceeded my expectations. The Earsonics AERO is one of the models that can change my stand against wireless IEMs.

Apple Airpods Pro 2 – [Added 01/01/2022]
The Apple AirPods Pro 2 is the best TWS the brand has to offer, and the best TWS you could get at the moment – especially if you’re an Apple user. Sound is great, noise-canceling is world-class, software integration is perfect and the simple fact that Apple keeps improving its earphones through wireless updates, makes them worth every penny you’re gonna put on them.
Yes, their design is “meh” at best. But, once you wear them, all of those considerations fly away. Sure, the white glossy plastic finish is deceiving. Yet, that’s what makes them fit swiftly into the charging box. Once again, Apple did what they do best, take one of their product and improve some of the previous flaws, with millions of dollars paid for engineers’ brains.
If you want to hate these earphones or the brand, feel free to do so, but at the moment, this is one of the best options you can possibly get in the sub €300 range, matching or even surpassing most DAP+IEM combo, with one of the best user-focused experiences. Period. And if I didn’t give the 1st gen my recommendation award, this time, I can confidently label the AirPods Pro 2 as my top pick in this category. Hurray!

Noble FoKus Rex5 [Added 04/03/2025]
The Noble FoKus Rex5 is, without question, one of the most technically impressive TWS IEMs I’ve heard. It’s airy, detailed, and fun, combining technical prowess with musicality in a way that feels natural and effortless. The bass is snappy and impactful, the mids are clean and articulate, and the treble is extended and transparent without unwanted sharpness.
I honestly believe that Noble wasn’t just trying to make another high-end TWS with the Rex5. They were pushing past the limitations of wireless audio and succeeded in many ways. It’s my new daily driver, period.
The Nobel Audio FoKus Rex5 is now featured on our Recommended Buy list.
