Beats today announces Beats Studio Pro, the next generation of Beats' iconic, bestselling over-ear headphone. With all-new and improved interior components, Studio Pro offers next-level audio fidelity, fully-adaptive Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency modes, Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking, UltraPlush leather cushions, up to 40 hours of battery life, Lossless Audio via USB-C3 and enhanced call performance.

Starting tomorrow, Studio Pro will be on-shelf at Apple Store locations and authorized resellers in its beautiful new packaging that was designed with the environment in mind.

Luxury brands and consumer electronics don't tend to be a good mix, largely due to the luxury brands either not caring or not being knowledgeable enough about the product they're making. Montblanc has taken a very different route with its new MTB 03 ANC earbuds, as the company has cooperated with Axel Grell, who used to work for Sennheiser before setting up his own brand of audio products. In all fairness, Montblanc did a similar team-up for its MTB 01 headphones where they worked with the founder of Audeze. The MTB 03's feature 7 mm beryllium drivers and are built around a Qualcomm Bluetooth 5.2 chipset which Montblanc is leveraging by adding aptX Adaptive support.

Furthermore, Montblanc has added support for Mimi Hearing Technologies sound personalisation software, on top of the tuning provided by Axel Grell. Sadly these luxury buds aren't without shortcomings, as the battery life is said to be good for only six hours of listening time, with another two full charges in the charging case. That's far less than most competing products on the market today. The charging case can be charged wirelessly or via USB-C and a 15 minute charge of the earbuds is said to be good enough for 100 minutes of playback time, while a full charge takes 90 minutes. For those still interested, a pair of the MTB 03's will set you back £345 or around US$439, although that price includes 20 percent VAT.

soundcore, Anker Innovations' premium audio brand, today began shipping the soundcore Liberty 4 NC Earbuds through Amazon and soundcore.com. The Liberty 4 NC features a new Adaptive ANC 2.0 algorithm and enhanced ANC system to improve blocking noise in all of life's noisy environments. The Liberty 4 NC ensures optimal noise cancelling capabilities and quality entertainment experiences for travelers as well as daily commuters.

"Over the past few years, soundcore has strived to bring a powerful audio experience to our earbuds in our Liberty line, however, want to continue to make improvements in the noise cancelling system," said William Wei, GM of soundcore's Headphone division. "We want to provide consumers with the quietest experience to block out noisy environments while listening to music, podcasts or even watching content on phones or computers. Our brand new Adaptive ANC 2.0 allows the Liberty 4 NC to analyze and compensate for both noise around the user as well as noise that enters the ear canal."

Denon was a latecomer to the TWS earbud market and its initial offerings didn't exactly take the market with storm, largely due to lacking any headline features. The new PerL and PerL Pro TWS earbuds have plenty of headline features, but are in fact updated and rebranded versions of Nura's NuraTrue Pro TWS earbuds that originated on Kickstarter back in 2022. The reason for this is that Masimo, the company that owns Denon and Bowers & Wilkins, acquired Nura back in April this year. As such, Denon could leverage the work of Nura at the expense of Nura having stopped selling the NuraTrue Pro. That said, this should lead to a broader availability for consumers, which could be seen as a net positive.

The US$349 PerL Pro are more or less the NuraTrue Pro with added support for Masimo's Adaptive Acoustic Technology or AAT for short, as well as the use of the Denon app. We couldn't spot anything else that had changed hardware or feature wise, which means there's still support for adaptive active noise cancelling, Bluetooth 5.3 with multipoint connectivity, aptX Adaptive and aptX Lossless. The PerL Pro's are said to last up to 8 hours on a single charge and the case is good for another 32 hours. The non pro version of the PerL gets feature trimmed—but also carries a much lower price point of US$199—and get a more basic ANC, a shorter 6 hour battery life with only 24 hours in the charging case, Bluetooth 5.0, no multipoint support, basic aptX support and no spatial audio support. The only advantage of the non pro version is that each of the rather large earbuds weigh 1.5 g less than the pro version.

Earbuds have become an indispensable part our lives. We are using wireless earbuds at different times of the day and for different things - for good noise-cancellation on the commute; as reliable microphones for meetings; and to deliver sweat-resistant, effective sound when working out. As Technics set out to design its next generation of true wireless headphones, an emphasis was put on creating earbuds that work well for all lifestyle needs, that remain comfortable to wear all day, and that avoid the need to switch between different headphones or sacrifice sound quality, comfort, or features.

The new EAH-AZ80 and EAH-AZ60M2 models allow you to freely enjoy impeccable sound quality and express your personal style. When designing the new earbuds, Technics used its expertise as the legendary audio brand to make the sound quality pure, focusing on every aspect of sound - driver, acoustic structure, mechanical structure, and digital signal processing - so you can hear every detail.

A comfortable fit for on the go
The WF-C700N have been designed with comfort and stability in mind, for an inclusive fit.

The WF-C700N earbuds combine a shape to perfectly match the human ear with an ergonomic surface design for a more stable fit, so users can wear them longer without needing a break.

Jabra's 2022 research found that 80% of all meetings globally are either fully virtual or hybrid, and hybrid natives like Gen Zs consider their "office" to be their laptop or wherever they have a strong internet connection, including "third spaces" such as co-working spaces, cafés, or libraries. The new Evolve2 headsets empower users with the most useful and professional features to protect their focus zone and enable them to take calls and meetings no matter their environment. Additionally, they boast optimized sound for professional use and music, so there is no need to switch headsets when it is time for a break.

Philips brand licensee TP Vision, has launched updated versions of several of its earphones and headphones, with two new, high-end Fidelio products. The Fidelio L4 is an updated version of last year's L3, that adds a slimmer headband with leather trim, as well as an overall sleeker look. However, maybe more importantly, The L4 appears to have a non Qualcomm Bluetooth chipset, so gone is aptX support, in favour of LC3 and LDAC support. The Bluetooth 5.3 chipset also supports Auracast and Philips seems to be the first company to announce support for the standard. The speaker drivers remain at 40 mm and Philips have further improved the noise cancelling by relocating the microphones. The battery life has also seen an increase, by a whole 12 hours with ANC off and eight hours with it on, for a total of 50 hours with ANC off and 40 hours with it on. Thankfully Philips also dumped the 2.5 mm audio jack in favour of a standard 3.5 mm jack and charging is of course done via USB-C.

Last year's Fidelio T1 wireless IEMs were a bit of a bust, at least based on the fairly negative reviews the earphones, got and this year's T2 model has been given a big design overhaul. The new design is 20 percent smaller than the T1, but it still screams Philips and has an odd retro Bluetooth headset kind of look to it. As with the L4, the T2 is based on a Bluetooth 5.3 capable chipset and supports LC3, LDAC and Auracast. Like the T1, the T2 sports a dynamic driver, as well as a balanced armature driver, although the dynamic driver has shrunk somewhat from 10 to 9.2 mm in size. The T2 sports nine hours of battery life with ANC enabled or 10 hours with it disabled. The charging case adds a further 27 to 30 hours battery life. A full charge taxes two hours, but a five minute top up adds an hour worth of playback time. The T2 are also IPX4 rated, so they should have no issues with a bit of sweat or a light rain shower. No pricing was announced for either model.

An entirely new TWS earbud flagship that combines an industry-first LE Audio technology, the latest Qualcomm chip, Bluetooth 5.3, and low-latency aptX certification in an all-new elegant metallic texture body.

Adopting next-generation Bluetooth technology, the Air Pro 3 features LE Audio with the new audio codec LC3. This delivers an impressively-low power consumption, but with a significant improvement in sound quality over the common SBC codec during low-battery states. In fact, the bass response becomes guttural, powerful. The sound overall is simply superior. Paired with the QuietSmart 2.0 Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation system, the Air Pro 3 silences the outside world up to 43dB. In addition, the sound of wind shear is subdued with an Anti-Wind Noise algorithm that works every millisecond.
