#322 Beats Studio Buds: $99.95 TWS Amazon $99.95 eBay

Pros: In oratory1990’s measurement the upper mids sit within 1 dB of target and the response holds a 2.2 dB standard deviation, so voices come through clean and forward. Sub-bass still reaches 30 Hz within 1 dB of target, giving kick drums a solid foundation. Active noise cancelling, 8 hours per charge (24 with the case), IPX4 splash resistance and a light 5 g earbud make it a practical daily pair.

Cons: The 60 to 200 Hz bass range sits about 4 dB below target, so bass guitar and male vocals sound leaner than the rumble down low would suggest. Treble runs about 5 dB under target from 3 to 10 kHz with a 7.5 dB dip near 6.4 kHz, which softens detail and can sound veiled. The EarFun Air Pro 4 matches its rating for less money.
