The AirPods Pro 2 are the alternative to the Galaxy Buds2 Pro and a clear recommendation for iPhone users. They offer great sound and very effective noise cancellation. The battery life is even longer than that of the Samsung. But here too: Optimal surround sound is only available with in-house mobiles.

In-ears made for iOS: Apple restricts usability without the Android app, but delivers good sound, strong ANC and Dolby Atmos support.

With the Sony WF-1000XM5, the best all-rounder takes the test winner crown. The in-ears combine very good sound with strong ANC and many practical functions. The Liberty 4 NC from Sound- core proves that cheap doesn't mean bad, holding its own in a strong test field and deservedly receiving the price-performance seal of approval.

The AirPods Pro are one of the best Apple products ever. USB-C and improved dust protection of the charging case are welcome, but the software is the real star!
