#176 Beats Powerbeats Pro 2: $249.00 TWS Amazon $249.00 eBay

Pros: A preference score of 77 in hobbyist measurements on squig.link, with a smooth 1.8 dB standard deviation and every band from 20 Hz to 10 kHz within about 2 dB of target, gives a balanced and natural sound. Bass holds to 30 Hz within 1 dB of target, so low notes keep their weight. Battery life is a standout at 10 hours per charge and 45 with the case, alongside active noise cancelling and IPX4 splash resistance.

Cons: Treble above 10 kHz runs about 8 dB below target, with a 13.6 dB dip near 11.2 kHz, so cymbals and room ambience lose their airy shimmer. At 8.7 g per earbud it is heavier than most true wireless buds, and codecs are limited to SBC and AAC.
