In-ear headphones £190 whf.cm/ATH_TWX7
There are a lot of true wireless earbuds knocking around at the moment. It sometimes feels as if a new pair arrives every week. At £190, the Audio-Technica ATH-TWX7 undercut the premium class leaders but clearly aim a little higher than the myriad contenders sitting within the £100-150 mid-range.
At this level we expect a strong feature list and plenty of sonic performance for those who are not planning to go all-out on sound and price.
Their price places the ATH-TWX7 between the affordable Sony WF-C700N (£100) and flagship Sony WF-1000XM5 (£259) – both worthy Award-winners. The Technics EAH-AZ60M2 offer a more direct rival at £199, while the JBL Live Pro 2 TWS were tested at £130 but often drop down to just over £100.
The Audio Technicas are a goodlooking, nicely made pair of wireless earbuds that we would be happy sporting for long periods without issue or complaint. Such is the slight, diminutive nature of the earbuds that you can easily forget you are wearing them at all; at just 4.7g, they are light as a feather.
