SoundGuys conducts audio testing and reviews for headphones, earbuds, and related devices. Their coverage includes lab-based comparisons of sound quality, noise cancellation, fit, and battery performance across brands and models.
Bose's new Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds cost $99, plug into USB-C, and never need charging. SoundGuys measured their ANC performance against Bose's QuietComfort Ultra, Sony and Apple rivals.
SoundGuys compared the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) against the standard QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Gen) and found the cheaper model gives up little in sound quality or noise cancellation for $90 less.
SoundGuys reviewed the Audio-Technica ATH-AL5NC, open-back wireless headphones with noise reduction and leakage reduction, finding quieter surroundings, strong battery life, and some rough edges in sound tuning and app controls.
SoundGuys tested both the AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods 5 and found the Pro model ahead on noise cancelling, bass and battery life. The decision mostly comes down to whether ear tips bother you.
Dedicated audio testing shows compact in-ear monitors matching traditional gaming headsets across competitive shooters, dialogue-heavy titles, and cinematic blockbusters without the skull fatigue of over-ear bands.
