Top TWS headphones of the first half of 2024

 

Buying headphones with a wireless connection is easy. However, the variety of models and their similarities make this process difficult to say the least. We decided to look at all the offers on the market and help choose the best, in our opinion, TWS headphones.

 

The selection was based on price, our experience testing various headphones and freshness – only the 2024 model. The latter, as a rule, differ in the latest Bluetooth adapters, up-to-date codecs and work algorithms. Moreover, the software component has a positive effect on the adaptation of the sound and the operation of additional systems, noise reduction, for example.

In general, it should be noted that other brands in these price segments will also be good options. For example, Basesus, Realme, Anker, Vivo, Ugreen, Oppo, Edifier, ColorWay, Bloody, Bose and others. Of course, with the caveat that the Chinese still do not claim the class of high-end headphones. But in more affordable segments, the fact that most models have OEM components works, but the design may differ. Although not always. And this is the considerable part that contributes some part of the uniqueness.
