Anker calls Thus the 'first Compute-in-Memory (CIM) AI audio chip with neural networks.' The chip integrates computing power directly into NOR flash memory cells, providing faster read speeds than NAND memory.

The new buds are rated at up to 55 dB of noise suppression and provide 54 hours of battery life, with the case. For context, the Ace 2's advertised battery life was 43 hours.

The Tour One M3's blitz of features might be intimidating to some, but these noise cancelers also stand on their own for basic use. The sound performance isn't the best I've heard at their price point, but it's still quite good, with brilliant instrumental separation and enough detail to surface new moments in songs you've heard dozens of times.

For some time now, I -- like many audiophiles -- have looked down upon such earbuds. And although these aren't anywhere near the best earbuds I've experienced, the sound they produced was quite surprising. There was rich, clear bass, clean highs, and (mostly) mellow mids. For me, that's a winning combination out of the box. And, thanks to the EarFun app (and a firmware upgrade) the noise cancellation and connection stability were both much improved.

Unlike Apple's AirPods, the Beats Studio Buds Plus play well with both iOS and Android devices, which is why they're among our favorite wireless earbuds. You don't get every ecosystem perk, but you do get a lot of the essentials. Apple iPhone owners, for example, get hands-free Siri, Find My support, one-step pairing, and Control Center integration. You miss out on AirPods-exclusive features like automatic device switching and spatial audio head-tracking.

After wearing the XM6 earbuds for three weeks while working, exercising, and running errands, I can confidently say the XM6 appeal to Sony's legion of power users. With powerful noise cancellation, high-performing microphones, Bluetooth LE Audio compatibility, and a list of customization options in Sony's companion app, there's no doubt the XM6 earbuds are Sony's best yet -- at least on paper.

They do sound good in open mode. When they're not covering your ear canals, the Aerofit 2 Pro rank among the best open earbuds in their price class, with an airy sound signature that naturally focuses on the upper registers. While no open earbuds I've tried accentuate bass as well as regular buds, the Aerofit 2 Pro have more resonance down low than most, accompanied by splashes of keen instrumental detail and clear stereo separation.

JBL Tune 770NC Headphones are wireless over-the-ear headphones featuring adaptive noise cancellation, smart ambient features, and a lightweight foldable design ideal for watching video, making phone calls, and listening to music. They provide an over-the-ear fit that encloses your ears, Bluetooth 5.3 for a steady wireless connection, and JBL Pure Bass sound that delivers much more bass to your music.

In the fast-paced race to load AI into every smartphone, laptop, tablet, and earbud, the flashiest AI-powered features usually receive the most attention. When your earbuds use AI to perform real-time translation services or allow hands-free access to a gen AI chatbot, you'll know. There's another way your earbuds use AI that isn't as exciting to talk about, but when it's done well, it's incredibly valuable: AI-powered adaptive noise cancellation.

Premium true wireless earbuds have evolved into more than just an audio accessory. In 2026, they play a central role in how users in India listen to music, take calls, attend meetings, and block out noise during daily commutes. The top-end segment now focuses on refined sound tuning, intelligent noise cancellation, stable connectivity, and deep integration with smartphones and digital ecosystems. Buyers are also looking for better comfort, longer battery life, and features that adapt to different environments automatically.

The new devices are an update to the Fairbuds XL with noise cancellation, first launched in 2023 and designed with repairability in mind. On these headphones, owners can replace the battery, cushions, speaker covers, headband, and drivers on both the new and older models. To make repairs, you can easily open up the headphones with a guitar pick or a credit card and a basic screwdriver. The company has tutorials on its YouTube channel to guide you through the process.
