The wireless headphone market is no longer defined only by convenience, battery life and noise cancellation. In its upper tier, it is increasingly becoming a place where brands are trying to translate ideas from serious wired headphones and in-ear monitors into a format that still works on a train, at a desk or during everyday listening. Noble Audio is now pushing that direction further with two new models in its FoKus line - the FoKus Apollo Pro and FoKus Artemis. Both build on the original FoKus Apollo, which Noble describes as the world's first wireless headphone to combine dynamic and planar magnetic driver technologies, but they approach the idea in different ways.

Noble Audio is expanding its true wireless range with Osprey, a new hybrid in-ear model positioned as the most accessible entry in the company's wireless lineup. Priced below the brand's more ambitious FoKus models, Osprey has been designed to bring Noble's tuning approach, distinctive visual language and hybrid driver architecture to a wider group of listeners. The new model sits in an interesting place in Noble's catalog. It is not presented as a simplified lifestyle earbud with the Noble name attached, but as a more approachable way into the company's true wireless family. The price is lower than Noble's upper-tier wireless products, but the core ingredients remain familiar - a hybrid driver layout, careful tuning, app support, modern Bluetooth implementation and a shell design that tries to look more individual than the anonymous forms often seen in this category.

Sennheiser has introduced the fifth generation of its most important consumer wireless headphones. The new Momentum 5 Wireless is not an attempt to rewrite the story from the beginning, but rather to refine a formula that has become one of the most recognizable reference points in the premium segment over the years. The manufacturer has kept what is essential to the series - large over-ear earcups, extensive wireless connectivity, a characteristic sound and very long battery life - while introducing changes to noise cancellation, sound personalization, codec support, sustainability, packaging and product longevity. The result is a headphone that should be not only more technically advanced, but also more convenient in everyday use and better prepared for several more years of service. "When designing Momentum 5 Wireless, we focused on refining the entire user experience without moving away from the formula that made the previous generation successful. The new improvements increase the functionality of the headphones while preserving that special magic you feel every time you press play." - said Sreenath "Sri" Unnikrishnan, Product Manager at Sennheiser.

True Wireless In-Ear Headphones are immensely popular, but most currently available designs represent a compromise choice, one that trades sound quality for wireless convenience.

Now, after an extensive period of development, Bowers & Wilkins is proud to launch two new products that bring the brand's famous True Sound promise of absolute performance to the True Wireless In-Ear
