While both pairs of wireless headphones share a similar look overall, there are actually some major design differences worth noting. One of the biggest differences is in color. While the Headphone 1 come in just black or white, the Headphone A expand the color options to include pink and yellow in addition to black or white, though the latter is limited edition.
The Nord Buds 4 Pro are equipped with 12mm titanium-coated dynamic drivers, which OnePlus claims can deliver up to twice the power output of the Nord Buds 3 Pro. Each earbud houses three microphones and supports features such as AI Clear Call for improved voice clarity.
The Pixel Buds Pro 2 were everything I wanted in a successor. They're even smaller and have a silicone ear fin to ensure a snug fit, but their upgraded features - better sound quality, active noise cancellation, and transparency mode - hang with the best of them.
The ring-like portable speaker has a lanyard that lets users hook it onto a backpack or simply carry it around the wrist. Another option is to wear it around the neck, turning the device into a personal stereo system that surrounds the user with sound while remaining lightweight and portable.
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.
