AirPods 5 Brings Stronger ANC, Longer Battery, and a Cheaper Price Than AirPods 4

Apple unveiled AirPods 5 at its Surprise and Shine event in two ANC‑equipped models. The $129 base version ships without a wireless charging case, while the $149 model adds wireless charging and a Find My speaker. Apple says the 5’s ANC is 1.5x better than AirPods 4 with ANC, and the wireless‑charging version delivers about 5 hours of battery life with ANC (one hour more than the base). AirPods 4 cases work with AirPods 5. There’s no Ultra Wideband (no Precision Finding). Sound reportedly has more bass and punchier mids, though a full review is pending; AirPods Pro 3 remains the top choice for best ANC overall.

Open-ear Galaxy Buds On leak hints at loop design and mixed feature set

Samsung's Galaxy Buds On leaks reveal open-ear, loop-style earbuds with pogo-pin charging and a flat touch surface, offering gesture controls and head-tracking but reportedly lacking active noise cancellation (ANC) and 360 Audio. The device is said to support Bixby and Google Gemini, include a Galaxy AI-powered voice recording feature that can summarize notes, and may auto-pause playback when the user falls asleep.

Momentum 5: Refined Sennheiser Buds Blend Design, Sound and Replaceable Batteries for Editors’ Choice

Sennheiser’s Momentum True Wireless 5 earbuds feature a redesigned shell, upgraded ANC and voice-calling, a larger microphone array, Bluetooth 6.0 with AptX (where supported), and the novel option to replace batteries in both the buds and the case. They deliver cleaner, more natural sound with a wider stage, and the companion app adds EQ and personalization. Battery life tops out at about 12 hours without ANC (6 hours with ANC), and the $300 buds come in five colors. However, ANC isn’t class-leading, occasional dropouts can occur in high-quality modes, and features like Speak-To-Chat and Auracast aren’t available at launch.
