Status is an audio brand based out of New York since 2014 with an emphasis on Bluetooth wireless headphones and earphones. I first heard of Status thanks to friends based in the greater NYC area asking if I had any experience with its products given they seemed to be inundated with ads on social media. In particular, one such product kept being marketed to them and it was fitting then that a marketing firm I know and trust ended up representing Status for review coverage. The product in question is the new Between 3ANC TWS earphones and thanks to Status for providing a review sample to TechPowerUp!
The Status Between Pro is a triple-driver hybrid set of wireless IEMs that currently sells for $99, and the reason I bring this up is because the newer Between 3ANC builds upon the Between Pro directly. We have the same driver system—1 DD/2 BA—but with improved tuning and a completely updated electronics system to add in active noise cancellation and better DSP on top. The Between 3ANC also comes in two color options as seen above and the design is striking in being quite different from the usual TWS earphones. Status also confirms app support on top of both physical and touch control buttons as well as a unique wings + ear tips system to help achieve a good fit and seal. The Between 3ANC has also got a price cut recently, along with the Between Pro, to where I do feel it's of interest to many readers here. As such, let's begin this review with a look at the product specifications in the table below.
