Jabra Elite 85t

While Jabra is nowhere near as

well known as Bose or Samsung,

they are increasingly renowned

for their true wireless buds. With

active noise cancelling and a focus

on audio quality in a very compact

form, Elite 85t sits very much at the

midpoint between the Bose and

Samsung buds.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Live

Legume! Shake the room! These

unique, bean-shaped buds

combine the best qualities of both

AirPods and AirPods Pro. They

let in ambient sound so you’re

aware of your surroundings, and

they’re designed for all-day wear.

However, turn on their active noise

cancelling and the results really are

surprisingly musical.
