The Best MP3 Players for 2023

Standalone MP3 players dominated pop culture for a long time, but in 2023 almost no one needs one. Any iPhone or Android phone is an audio player that works with subscription music apps like Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon Music and YouTube Music. You pay your $5 to $10 a month, and you get access to nearly every popular song ever recorded. And the tracks are downloadable, too, so you can listen to your music even when you leave a Wi-Fi or cellular coverage area. It’s quick, easy and convenient. What’s not to like?

“A lot,” I can hear some people saying. Maybe you’ve got one too many subscriptions already, so why pay for one more when you already have a music library of thousands of MP3 files sitting on your hard drive? Or maybe you’ve meticulously crafted iTunes playlists, like mixtapes of old, that you don’t want to re-create or transfer to another service. Maybe you have rare, one-off live tracks that don’t exist on mainstream services. (Phish fans, I’m looking at you.)

Now, truth be told, if any of that applies to you, you still don’t need an MP3 player — your iPhone can still sync music files from iTunes (on Windows) or the Apple Music app (on Mac), and it probably has more storage space than your old iPod ever did. Android phones, too, can play whatever music files you can load them up with. But if you want a dedicated device for your music — or, maybe, a parentally curated set of songs to give to a kid who’s not ready for a phone — there are still MP3 device options out there. They’re not all great, and they generally come with some caveats. But if you’ve gotten this far, here’s what I can recommend, more than two decades after the iPod was first released. 

Other MP3 players

Yes, the products above are really the only ones I can recommend in this category with any degree of enthusiasm. But they aren’t the only options. If you’re looking for a bargain basement option (under $50), a serious high-end alternative (starting at $350 and going to four figures) or some interesting workarounds, read on.  

Swim-friendly option: Aftershockz OpenSwim

Aftershockz

This 4GB “player in a headphone” model uses Aftershockz’s patented bone-conduction technology. It’s also fully waterproof, and retails for about $150. (Note that CNET hasn’t tested these hands-on.)

The budget hack: Any old smartphone

Samsung

If you’ve got an old phone — or you buy a new one without service — you’ll have access to the full realm of app-based music services, and any music files you care to upload. Something like the $160-ish Samsung Galaxy A03S (shown above) fits the bill nicely, since you can drop in a MicroSD card that you’ve preloaded with tunes.

High-end options: Sony Walkman, Astell & Kern

Sony is still making new Walkman models. 

Sony/Screenshot by CNET

Audiophiles have long looked down on digital music because the sound quality was notably inferior for golden-eared listeners with distinguishing tastes. But the development of lossless file formats (such as FLAC) and cheap ample multigigabyte storage have made portable high-fidelity music a reality.

At this point, there are really only two major players in the high-end portable music space: Astell & Kern and Sony (where the Walkman brand still lives on). We’ve used earlier versions of each brand, but not the current models. 

• Sony Walkman music players line starts with the new-for-2023 (really!) NW-A306, arriving soon for $348. 
• Astell & Kern players start at $1,299, and are strictly for true enthusiasts.

If you’re the sort of person who has hard drives full of uncompressed music audio files — and can hear the difference between that and comparatively low-resolution MP3 and AAC files — then, by all means, pair up one of those players with your wired headphone of choice. 

That said, nearly all of the streaming music services now offer lossless or high bitrate options — that’s nearly all the big players, from Tidal and Qobuz to Amazon and Apple. (Spotify HiFi, weirdly, remains a no-show.) 

If you like what you hear, consider upgrading to a decent headphone DAC (that’s “digital to analog converter”) like the Audiofly Dragonfly and a serious wired headphone. Then you’ll have a solid audiophile option that’s good for the road, without the need for a standalone music player.

Music lockers: YouTube Music and iTunes Match

If you’ve got a digital music collection that includes one-offs and live tracks that aren’t available on the mainstream services, you can upload them to online services, where they can live alongside subscription tracks and be shared among multiple devices (including smart speakers).

YouTube Music, formerly known as Google Play Music, offers this service at no additional cost for up to 100,000 tracks.

Apple users can opt for iTunes Match, which lets you upload your own digital music to live in tandem with Apple Music tracks. Once available for $24 a year, the service now appears to be bundled in as part of an Apple Music or Apple One subscription.

If you opt for either of these options, make sure you keep a local backup of your files, just in case these services go away.

Note that Amazon shuttered its “MP3 locker” service in 2018.

One-minute review

Sometimes, concessions have to be made. The Astell & Kern A&ultima SP2000T portable music player has an uninspired name, yes. It costs a lot of money, true. And it plays fast and loose with the definition of the word ‘portable’. But if you want a premium digital audio experience while you’re out and about, don’t look (or listen) any further. The SP2000T sounds superb.

Should I buy it?

Some of this is undoubtedly due to the hair-raising level of specification that’s incorporated here. Two amplifier stages offer seven distinct options, while no fewer than four DACs are deployed to handle two channels of audio information. The SP2000T is unconcerned by digital audio file size or type, and it will happily power any (and I mean any) pair of headphones you care to mention.

What else? Well, the control interface is clean and responsive. The player itself is not so much built as sculpted. Even the battery life is half-decent. And (as mentioned once, and not for the last time) the audio quality it’s capable of delivering is truly outstanding. 

The SP2000T is a deeply accomplished digital audio player, and it will keep you entertained and informed all day long. Just as long as you can justify the not-inconsiderable outlay to yourself.

Astell & Kern A&ultima SP2000T price and release date

• Available now
• $2,399 / £1,999 / AU$3,599

The Astell & Kern A&ultima SP2000T is on sale now. That’s all well and good, but much more relevant is the asking price: in the United Kingdom it sells for a pound short of £2K. American customers hoping to maximize their portable audio experience will need to put $2,399 aside, while in Australia you’re looking at AU$3,599.  

So we can safely assume the mainstream will ignore this product. In fact, unless the SP2000T can make a watertight case for itself and its price tag, the chances are the specialists will ignore it too. No pressure, then.

• 309g
• Angular, asymmetrical chassis
• 141 x 78 x 18mm (H x W x D) 

 Astell & Kern established its design vocabulary quite a while ago, and it’s not about to change now – certainly not after investing a lot of money on fancy-pants metalworking machines. So the A&ultima SP2000T is edgy, pointy and slightly unharmonious in its shape; it could never be confused as the product of any other brand. And as seems only sensible when asking this sort of money, the SP2000T is constructed with the kind of solidity more commonly associated with bank vaults – and it doesn’t weigh much less than one, either.

Being a fair bit bigger in every direction than even the biggest smartphone does at least mean there’s plenty of space, both inside and out, for all the specification Astell & Kern has decided to deploy. If the SP2000T doesn’t feature it, it’s because it’s not worth featuring.

Perhaps it’s the tri-amp element of the specification that’s most immediately attention-grabbing. In addition to its customary OP AMP amplification, Astell & Kern has also fitted the SP2000T with dual-triode KORG Nutube amplification – which is fundamentally an extremely compact vacuum tube, or valve, amplification stage. 

This is the sort of expensive, complicated and fragile amplification beloved of audiophiles, but not the sort of thing that tends to show up in a portable digital audio player. The user can select one method or the other to amplify their headphones, or can choose one of the five different hybrid settings that combine the two.  

(Image credit: TechRadar)

Oh yes, headphones. It should go without saying that the SP2000T demands high-end (and high-priced) headphones for you to enjoy the complete audio experience – but at least Astell & Kern has fitted three headphone sockets. So you’re able to deploy 2.5mm or 4.4mm balanced  headphones as well as the (much) more common 3.5mmm unbalanced alternative. 

But before your digital audio information gets anywhere near the amplification or the headphone output(s), it has to first get on board. Wireless connectivity is via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth – the latter can handle AAC, aptX-HD and LDAC codecs, so high-resolution wireless streaming is firmly on the menu. 

Once the information is on board (the SP2000T is able to handle any file type you care to mention) it’s pored over by four ESS Sabre ES9068AS DACs, capable of handling file sizes from the poverty-spec Spotify free-tier variety to huge DSD512 alternatives. And we think it’s worth saying that just one more time: four DACs. Two for each channel. There’s ‘thoroughly specified’ and then there’s the Astell & Kern A&ultima SP2000T.

Operating the SP2000T is done using the big (5in), bright, full HD (1920 x 1080) capacitive touchscreen. If previous Astell & Kern players have had a recurring weak point, it’s been the quality (or otherwise) of their control interfaces – but here the screen is responsive. It’s also clean and clear in its typeface, and smooth-scrolling. Which is exactly how it should be.

Battery life is an adequate-we-suppose nine hours (which is enough to see you through all but the longest-haul flights), and the SP2000T needs three hours to go from ‘flat’ to ‘full’ (which will seem a lot longer than it actually is). You can drain that battery by listening to music stored on the A&K’s 256GB of internal memory, which can be boosted by up to 1TB with a microSD card.

Audio performance

• Wide open soundstage
• Assured rhythmic expression
• Deep, controlled bass

So we can all agree Astell & Kern has made an effort with the A&ultima SP2000T. And the good news is that if you team this player with appropriately talented headphones (the majority of this test was done using Sennheiser’s splendid IE 900 in-ear monitors) you’ll hear the results of all that hard work in pretty unequivocal fashion. The SP2000T is a deeply capable, thrillingly musical and endlessly listenable audio player. 

Naturally enough, the A&K does its best work when given the best stuff to deal with – it only takes a brief listen to Stevie Wonder’s He’s Misstra Know-It-All in DSD32 form to demonstrate that. But unlike a lot of digital audio players with pretensions towards genuine hi-fi sound, the SP2000T isn’t picky or snobby. It’s just as happy to make the most of a bog-standard Spotify stream of Car Seat Headrest’s Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales as it is the big high-resolution stuff. 

No matter what you end up listening to, the A&K demonstrate really even, convincing tonality from the bottom of the frequency range to the top. Detail levels are sky-high (especially/inevitably with the more information-rich stuff) and there’s a wide-open, utterly believable soundstage established on which musicians can do their thing. If it’s the full picture you’re after, well, here it is.

Low frequencies are deep, controlled, loaded with detail and carry plenty of momentum. The midrange is absolutely alive with the finest details of technique and timbre – which means a singer as accomplished as Stevie Wonder sounds about as intimate and immediate as you’ve ever heard him. And the top end is assertive, substantial and just as fulsomely detailed as the rest of the frequency range. 

Rhythmic expression is assured, and the SP2000T is just as confident where both broad and minor dynamic variations are concerned. It’s utterly in charge of every recording you give it, and yet manages to make the fun stuff sound like fun. Some players with this sort of high-end emphasis can sound quite po-faced and analytical, but the Astell & Kern sounds enthusiastic without ever getting carried away.

Downsides are a) remarkably few and b) easily mitigated. Basically, the self-assurance the SP2000T demonstrates when reproducing the highest frequencies can quite easily tip into overconfidence if your choice of partnering headphones isn’t sympathetic. So make sure you audition a few pairs before making a decision. And the number of amplification options seems, in all honesty, quite a bit more interesting when written down than it proves in practice. The variations in sound are extremely subtle, and you’ll almost certainly find one of the seven options you like best and end up sticking with it.

In every other respect, though, the Astell & Kern A&ultima SP2000T needs no caveats. It’s as good a portable audio player as you can buy.

Best devices for music in 2017 | Articles | Gadgets, gifts and accessories

In everyday life, smartphones have almost ousted other music players from the market, but for a real music lover, one phone is never enough – you want to have gigabytes of the best music with you and always be able to enjoy clear sound in excellent quality. It is for connoisseurs of real music in its pristine sound that we have selected a list of devices that will provide the opportunity to listen to your favorite bands and performers.

This smartphone appeared back in 2016, but we remembered it for a reason. In the HTC model line, it became the fifth flagship device focused on high-quality audio playback. Compared to other, even very high-quality smartphones, the sound on the HTC 10 sounds really impressive. Despite the fact that the smartphone has a chip from Qualcomm, the company went the other way than usual and installed its own audio codec on the HTC 10.

The BoomSound system has been specially designed to provide a unique sound. Unlike the other speakers, the HTC 10 has a dual front speaker at the bottom. Amplifiers, signal processors and even software are all aimed at improving sound quality.

Crystal-clear highs, deep bass and smooth vocal reproduction even at high volumes are the hallmarks of the HTC 10. So you can safely call the HTC 10 the ideal smartphone for a music lover.

Those who really understand sound will agree that the mp3 format is not enough to hear the music properly. That is why premium players exist. One of these devices is the Astell&Kern AK70.

This is a very handy player with a color LCD touch screen. The body of the player is made of metal, and many note the unique stylish design. On the side it is equipped with a wheel to adjust the volume. Astell&Kern AK70 supports playback of the most common audio formats – MP3, OGG, FLAC, AIFF, AAC, WMA, WAV. Thanks to bluetooth, you can synchronize it with both a wireless speaker and wireless headphones. The Astell & Kern AK70 weighs 132 grams, and the assembly and quality please fans. The player is equipped with Wi-Fi, and it also has an SD card slot. Although it is worth noting that he already has a lot of memory – 64GB is enough to download hundreds of your favorite songs. And Astell & Kern AK70 will take care of the quality.

Any connoisseur of music faced an irresistible desire to watch concert recordings, clips or videos from youtube. To do this on the big screen, it is not at all necessary to pull out a laptop or trudge to a desktop computer – with Google Chromecast, all this can be done while sitting in front of the TV on the couch and using a smartphone. Google’s media player connects to your TV and lets you watch movies, play games, or use your browser without the need for additional devices. Three built-in antennas give Google Chromecast the ability to connect to your home network, and the device supports Netflix, Youtube, Huluu, Google Play Movies, Google Play Music and Chrome.

All you have to do is get comfortable, stock up on quality speakers, select a concert or video and enjoy high-quality playback.

When choosing headphones for music playback, any fan of pure sound knows for sure that it is best to trust a trusted manufacturer specializing in audio technology and professional music equipment. That’s why Marshall is the music lover’s first choice. Marshall Major II is the second generation of the legendary headphones. This model has improved ergonomics, added headset functions and a cable that can be connected from either side. The 40mm drivers handle the highs and lows perfectly, allowing the listener to experience their favorite tracks in a vivid way.

The appearance of the headphones does not disappoint either – a classic retro design with the logo of a famous company, a neat appearance and discreet fittings – all this looks very impressive.

Marshall Major II headphones are available in three colors – striking black, gorgeous white and stylish brown. They will allow you to completely immerse yourself in the beautiful sounds of music and disconnect from the annoying noises of the outside world.

A music lover needs music always and everywhere, and we want to listen to it not only in headphones, but also at full volume, infecting everyone around with the drive of our favorite performers. This is where Xiaomi Mi Round 2 helps us. A small portable cylindrical speaker is able to synchronize with a laptop, smartphone or player, while its range is up to 10 meters, that is, you can put it anywhere in the room and it will easily fill room with the sounds of your favorite music.

On the top of the speaker housing are controllers that control sound, playback mode, and so on.

Mi Round 2 gives clear and high-quality sound both at home and in nature. You can take it with you on vacation, on a trip, to the country house, to the car. It does not take up much space and, thanks to its discreet design, will fit perfectly into any interior. Mi Round 2 is a great gift for music lovers who are always on the go.

Of course, music lovers often find themselves at live concerts, often they are faced with the need to record sound at the notorious concerts. And this sound should not sound like horrible, but of high quality. An ordinary smartphone, voice recorder or camera is not enough in this case, so you have to turn to special audio recorders for help. Zoom recorders have long made a name for themselves in the recording world, and the Zoom h5n Pro continues that tradition.

Conveniently placed XY microphones capture surround sound without missing anything important. In addition, you can connect an external microphone to the recorder. The h5n Pro handles up to 140dB SPL and records 4 tracks simultaneously, making it ideal for recording any genre of music from hard metal to soft classics. An easy-to-read display lets you stay informed about battery life, recorder space, and more.

Zoom h5n Pro will record clear and high-quality sound for you.

Not everyone knows what a DAC is, but those who have a sensitive ear and for whom fundamentally high-quality sound have long been familiar with digital-to-analog converters. That’s what the SMSL SD-793 II is for. The SMSL SD-793 II uses the DIR9001 chip, which allows it to receive 24bit/96K signals. The transducer has an aluminum housing with a steel rear panel to provide protection from external damage. It has a volume control, a power button, an input selector, and a headphone jack.

If you prefer analog sound to digital, this is the device for you – it takes up little space, is easy to transport and operate, and comes with a 9 volt power supply. You can use it with an audio player, computer and any audio equipment, and the result will definitely suit any connoisseur of quality music.

On the road, many also prefer not to be bored, but to listen to their favorite tracks or watch videos (of course, everyone except the driver). The car radio can provide passengers with such an opportunity. DVD 2DIN with Pioneer monitor is specially designed for iPhone users – with its help you can listen to music, view photos and videos, run applications or navigator, charge devices via USB or turn on flash drives. This radio is distinguished by high-quality sound, which is very important for those who like to listen to music in the car.

The

Pioneer SPH-DA 120 will not leave you without the ability to stay in touch, allowing you to read messages, make calls and much more. In addition, a rear view camera can be connected to the radio.

In short, this device is incredibly versatile and, even if you do not count music, it will be very useful for your car.

Many of us lack a conventional car radio, to really get the most out of the sound in the car, we need powerful speakers. These are the speakers that Morel offers us. MRC-Tempo-6 Two way is a set of car speakers that provide high-quality and loud sound. The kit includes a tweeter, midbass and two crossovers. Thanks to unique technologies, the speakers cover all sound ranges, creating surround and loud sound. Treble sounds clear, bass and mids are clear and smooth.

Car speakers Morel MRC-Tempo-6 Two way will transform your car into a real concert hall and even on the road you can still enjoy loud music with high-quality sound.

Best Wireless Earbuds for 2023: Top Picks for Every Listener

• What are the best wireless earbuds overall?
• Best wireless earbuds 2023​
• Other wireless earbuds we’ve tested​
• Wireless earbuds FAQs​
• How we test true-wireless earbuds​

Nowadays when we talk about the best wireless earbuds, we’re primarily talking about true-wireless buds, which ditch the cord between the buds and are truly wireless. With each new iteration of Bluetooth — we’re currently up to Bluetooth 5.3 — and the upgraded Bluetooth audio chipsets that go along with it, we continue to see improvements to performance and battery life.

Some wireless earbuds are equipped with ear tips, while others like the standard AirPods have an open design without tips. Those are best for people who don’t like to have ear tips jammed in their ears and want to allow some sound in from the outside world. For the most part, only “noise-isolating” earbuds with silicone or foam ear tips offer active noise canceling — or noise cancelling (with a double l), as Bose and Google spell it — a feature that was once a rarity but has now become standard. But you can get decent sound quality from either style.

What are the best wireless earbuds overall?

There’s a lot of debate around this question, and it’s hard to name one single model as the best overall true-wireless earbuds. But a few models do stand out a bit from the rest of the pack, which is why we’ve given them our prestigious CNET Editors’ Choice Award. From 2022, these include the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 and Apple AirPods Pro 2 and I’m sure we’ll see some worthy Editors’ Choice candidates arrive in 2023, including the rumored next-generation Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds (the WF-1000XM4, available now, also earned an Editors’ Choice award, along with the Beats Fit Pro). These earbuds not only offer excellent ambient noise-muffling capabilities but a comfortable fit, very good sound and strong voice-calling performance. Those are the key factors I evaluate when determining which products end up on this list. Pricing is also a consideration for value picks.

I’ve fully reviewed or had hands-on listening time with all the devices on this best wireless earbuds list. My recommendations are updated regularly as I test the new models hitting the market and while the top true-wireless earbuds can be pricey, you can get surprisingly good ones for $100 — or even less. Keep scrolling to see the best earbuds 2023 has to offer.

Best wireless earbuds for 2023

Other wireless earbuds we’ve tested

Beyerdynamic Free Byrd: Beyerdynamic may be late to the game, but it’s finally introduced its first true-wireless earbuds, which feature active noise canceling, up to 11 hours of battery life (with noise canceling off) and impressive sound quality. Read our Beyerdynamic Free Byrd review.

Master & Dynamic MW08: These buds may not fit everyone’s ear equally well, but they certainly have a distinct look, as well as excellent sound and a great listening experience if you can get a tight seal (I was able to get a secure fit with the largest tip). They deliver more of an audiophile sound profile, with smooth, well-balanced sound and well-defined bass.

Status Between 3ANC: Status earbuds aren’t exactly the sleekest or most attractive earbuds you can buy, but if you don’t mind their utilitarian look and giant stems, you are getting an excellent-sounding set of earbuds. The Between 3ANC, the company’s first noise-canceling earbuds, also do a good job muffling ambient sound, though they aren’t up to the level of the Bose QuietComfort 2 earbuds for noise-canceling prowess. They did perform very well in my voice-calling test, reducing much of the background noise around me in the streets of New York while picking up my voice clearly, or so callers told me.

Sony Linkbuds: The LinkBuds are, in a sense, Sony’s answer to Apple’s standard AirPods. While they don’t sound as good as Sony’s flagship WF-1000XM4 or the Linkbuds S noise-isolating earbuds, they offer a discreet, innovative design and a more secure fit than the AirPods, as well as decent sound and very good voice-calling performance. Like the third-gen AirPods, their open design allows you to hear the outside world — that’s what the ring is all about. Read our Sony Linkbuds review.

JBL Live Free 2: Like the Live Pro 2, JBL’s new Live Free 2 buds are surprisingly good. With 11mm drivers, six microphones, oval tubes and oval silicon tips, they combine a comfortable fit along with strong noise canceling, very good sound quality and voice-calling performance. Features include multipoint Bluetooth pairing and wireless charging, and they’re rated for up to seven hours with IPX5 water-resistance (splash-proof).

Beats Studio Buds: The Beats Studio Buds look a lot like the rumored stemless AirPods some people have been waiting for. Geared toward both iOS and Android users, they are missing a few key features on the Apple side of things (there’s no h2 or W1 chip), but they’re small, lightweight buds that are comfortable to wear and offer really good sound. While their noise canceling isn’t as good as the AirPods Pro’s, they do have a transparency mode and they’re decent for making calls. Read our Beats Studio Buds review.

Sennheiser CX: If you can’t afford Sennheiser’s flagship Momentum True Wireless 3 earbuds, the CX are a good alternative. They feature very good sound, plus decent noise canceling and voice-calling performance. The only issue is they stick out of your ears a bit and may not fit some smaller ears. This model, which often sells for less than $100 on Amazon, doesn’t feature active noise canceling but the step-up CX Plus does (the CX Plus is also a good value, particularly when it goes on sale).

How we test true-wireless earbuds

We test true-wireless earbuds based on five key criteria, comparing similarly styled and priced models. These criteria are design, sound quality, features, voice-calling performance and value.

• Design: We assess not only how comfortable the earbuds fit (ergonomics) but their build quality and how well the controls are implemented. We also look at water- and dust-resistance ratings.
• Sound quality: We evaluate sound quality by listening to a set playlist of music tracks and comparing the earbuds to top competing products in their price range. Sonic traits such as bass definition, clarity, dynamic range and how natural the headphones sound are key factors in our assessment.
• Features: Some great-sounding earbuds aren’t loaded with features, but we do take into account what extra features are on board. These include everything from noise-canceling and transparency modes (ambient sound mode) to special sound modes to ear-detection sensors that automatically pause your music when you take the headphones off your ears.
• Voice-calling performance: When we test voice-calling performance, we make calls in the noisy streets of New York and evaluate how well the earbuds reduce background noise and how clearly callers can hear your voice.
• Value: We determine value after evaluating the strength of the earbuds against all these criteria and what the buds are able to deliver compared to other models in their price class.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro Review: Improved Design Pays Dividends

• Fairly pricey
• Some key features only work with Samsung devices
• No true multipoint Bluetooth pairing

When Samsung launched its original Galaxy Buds Pro noise-canceling earbuds, one of its headline marketing messages was the attention it paid to their sound quality. Indeed, they delivered on that front, but a certain subset of users, including me, found them to be a less than ideal fit for their ears. In my case, none of the included ear tips allowed me to get a tight seal, so I had to swap in a larger set of tips from a rival set of earbuds. So, needless to say, I was curious to see what Samsung’s engineers had come up with for the second-gen Galaxy Buds 2 Pro ($230, £219, AU$349), suspecting they’d address that fit issue. 

Sure enough, they did. The first thing you’ll notice about the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro — which are launching alongside the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4 — is that they simply have a better all-around design than their predecessor. Not only are they 15% smaller, according to Samsung, but they weigh slightly less (5.5 grams per bud versus 6.3 grams) and have a matte finish on both the buds and case that gives them a nicer feel and makes them a bit more grippy.

That makes the compact case a little less likely to slip out of your hand and — more importantly — it helps keep the buds in your ears a little more securely. And thanks to their new shape and smaller size, I was able to get a tight seal with the largest set of included ear tips and didn’t have to supply my own. Additionally, the earbuds don’t stick out of your ears as much as the original Galaxy Buds Pro did, and they look more discreet. They’re available in three colors — Bora purple, white and graphite — and while I can’t say they’ll fit all ears equally well, they should provide a better fit to more ears than the original Galaxy Buds Pro. 

Proprietary high-res audio and other Galaxy-exclusive features

Aside from the revamped design, Samsung is touting the buds’ improved noise canceling and support for 24-bit high-resolution audio. The catch is to get that 24-bit audio you’ll need a Galaxy device equipped with Samsung’s One UI 4.0 and a music streaming service like Qobuz, Tidal or Amazon Music that streams high-res audio tracks. On all other devices, including Android phones and iPhones, the buds default to the AAC audio codec. They use Bluetooth 5.3. 

Alas, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro don’t support the more common AptX Adaptive audio codec for Android devices, only the new Samsung Seamless Hi-Fi codec, which Samsung says delivers 256x more sound data than 16-bit (CD quality) audio. Numbers like that are a bit deceptive because, based on my experience, you’re really only going to notice a slight difference when streaming higher bit-rate tracks. But more on that after I round out the rest of the feature set.

The buds didn’t stick out of my ears too much. 

David Carnoy/CNET

Like their predecessor, these have touch controls (you can turn certain ones on or off, or you can turn them all off) along with an option to activate hands-free Bixby, Samsung’s voice assistant. Additionally, Samsung’s 360 Audio virtual surround feature (with head tracking) returns in an “Enhanced” version and now works with a variety of Galaxy devices out of the gate, though it’s not compatible with other Android devices. It works along the same lines as Apple’s spatial audio feature for AirPods and can enhance your movie and TV watching experience, though it doesn’t seem to be as pronounced Apple’s spatial audio, which I think is slightly better overall. It also works with music or any audio you’re listening to.  

The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are IPX7 water-resistant, which means they can withstand being fully submerged in 1-meter deep water for up to 30 minutes. I had no problem running with them and they didn’t slip out of my ears.

Like their predecessors, battery life is rated at five hours with noise canceling on and eight hours with it off at moderate volume levels, plus you get about three additional charges from the case (it charges via USB-C and wirelessly). You could quibble that five hours is pretty mediocre and that no improvements have been made to the battery life, but it’s hard to shrink buds while increasing battery life. Also, when you drop the buds in the case, there’s a quick charge feature that nets you an hour of use with a five-minute charge and double that with a 10-minute charge. 

Samsung says the buds have an improved air vent (to relieve pressure) and wind shield.

David Carnoy/CNET

Sensors detect when the buds are in your ears and will pause your music when you take both buds out of your ears and but won’t resume playback when you put them back in without you tapping on one of the buds (you can use a single bud while leaving the other one in the case). Additionally, you can opt to activate a “voice detect” mode in the Galaxy Wearable companion app that automatically turns off noise canceling and switches to “ambient sound” mode when you speak, allowing you to hear the outside world and engage in a conversation with someone. Sony offers a similar feature with its WF-1000XM4 and LinkBuds S earbuds.

Another new feature worth mentioning has nothing to do with audio. You can toggle on the “neck stretch reminders” setting that detects your head position and alerts you when you’ve bent your head downward for 10 minutes. As I’ve written this review, I’ve been alerted several times to stretch my neck.  

Like the AirPods and some other earbuds these have a find-my-buds feature that Samsung calls SmartThings Find. It can tell you your location when the buds were last connected to your device, but it doesn’t offer the more precise tracking capabilities of Apple’s enhanced Find My in its latest AirPods. 

The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have three microphones on each earbud along with ear-detection sensors.

David Carnoy/CNET

Lastly, like their predecessor and the more affordable Galaxy Buds 2, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro don’t offer true multipoint Bluetooth pairing that allows you to pair them with two devices, such as a phone and computer, at the same time. But Samsung says they seamlessly pair with all the Samsung devices logged into your Samsung account, including Samsung TVs built in 2022 or later and Samsung Galaxy Books laptops built after 2020. 

The Buds 2 Pro offer automatic switching between those devices. So if, for instance, a call comes in on your phone as you’re watching a movie on your Tab S8 tablet, the audio will automatically switch to your phone when you answer the call. That’s similar to how Apple’s AirPods auto pair with any Apple devices logged into your iCloud account. Note that I haven’t thoroughly tested the auto-switching feature with many Samsung devices (because I only own a few) so I can’t confirm exactly how reliable it is. I spent more time manually switching my audio between a Galaxy Flip 3 and non-Samsung devices.   

Impressive all-around performer

Samsung says it’s improved the noise canceling on the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 40% (it calls it “Intelligent ANC”). I found it an improvement on the original Galaxy Buds Pro, but noise-canceling performance is affected by how tight a seal you get from the ear tips (as is sound quality), so your perception of how much it’s improved may vary by how good a seal you get.

I thought the noise canceling was close but not quite there, compared with the noise canceling of the Sony WF-1000XM4, but it did a good job muffling a variety of noise on the streets of New York and underground in the subway. You can turn the noise canceling off or activate ambient mode, the equivalent of Apple’s transparency mode, which I thought sounded natural. But there’s no setting to adjust noise canceling levels; it automatically adapts to your environment.

The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are equipped with two-way drivers (10mm woofer, 5.3mm tweeter), which is nice, and three microphones, two of which are beam-forming for voice calls. I paired them with a Galaxy Z Flip 3, iPhone 13 Pro and Google Pixel 4 XL and streamed music using Qobuz. I also streamed some movies from Google Play and Netflix.

According to Samsung, there’s no way to check whether you’re getting 24-bit audio (nothing indicates whether you are — or aren’t), but if your audio setup meets the requirements listed — a Galaxy phone with Android 8.0 or higher and One UI 4.0 or higher with at least 1.5GB of RAM — you’ll be using the Samsung Seamless Codec, which transmits in 24-bit, assuming your audio files support it. (Qobuz files do.) I find it irritating that there’s no way to tell what bit rate you’re streaming at, but I’ll have to take Samsung’s word that I was getting 24-bit audio. 

I did notice a slight difference when streaming with the Galaxy Z Flip 3. However, using the iPhone 13 Pro, the sound quality was also very good with an amply wide soundstage. I went back and forth with Spoon’s Knock Knock Knock track and a few other songs. The Flip 3’s sound came across slightly more accurately (a bit more clarity) with a touch more detail and depth. The bass is punchy and well-defined and I didn’t experience any noticeable distortion at higher volumes. In short, they’re excellent-sounding buds, though I’m not sure they’re superior to other top earbuds in their price range, including the Pixel Buds Pro, Beats Fit Pro and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3.

I mostly went with the default sound setting, though you can tweak the signature profile in the Galaxy Wearable app with some preset equalizer settings, including a bass boost setting. The truth is a lot of these premium earbuds are starting to sound pretty similar and it’s really the fit — and how they fit your particular ears — that’s going to make you like one more than another.

I’ll finish by saying that once again Samsung has delivered a set of Galaxy buds that work quite well as a headset for making calls. They have good voice pick-up from the beam-forming microphones while providing good background noise reduction. Callers said they could hear me relatively clearly in the noisy streets of New York and the buds did a decent job reducing wind noise. They’re in the upper echelons in terms of voice-calling performance.

Galaxy Buds 2 Pro final thoughts

For better or worse, Galaxy Buds have always been an accessory for Galaxy smartphones and, as a result, more geared toward owners of Galaxy devices. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are no exception. They’re excellent earbuds, but you lose some of their key features if you’re not a Galaxy device owner. For that reason, it’s easy to see them as the Samsung equivalent of the AirPods Pro, which may very well get some sort of high-resolution wireless streaming option with the arrival of the AirPods Pro 2 that will likely use proprietary Apple technology that only works with its devices.

By comparison, the Pixel Buds Pro have fewer features geared exclusively toward Pixel owners (virtual surround), and such features as hands-free Google Assistant and true multipoint Bluetooth pairing are available across all Android devices. However, the Pixel Buds have no enhanced audio codec support, which may be important if you’re convinced it makes a big difference. I personally think it makes only a slight difference with this class of earbuds, which may have a premium price tag but aren’t high-end.   

The bigger question will be whether it’s worth upgrading to the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro if you already own a pair of Galaxy Buds, particularly the original Galaxy Buds Pro. I think that will largely depend on what price you can get the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro for. While their list price is $230, Samsung is currently offering trade-in deals (any Galaxy Buds in any condition) that bring their price down to around $155 and you can often get deals on them as part of a bundle with a new Galaxy phone.  

For me anyway, while the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro offer some small performance improvements over their predecessor, their design is the biggest upgrade. That makes them the best Galaxy Buds yet.

TOP 5: WIRELESS IN-EAR HEADPHONES | KARGO

Our permanent consultant for products from China, Mr. Che Pochem, is sure that no matter how beautiful the world around us is, no matter how magical sounds fill it, sooner or later even the most persistent resident of a big city will gladly go into the “acoustic underground” – puts on headphones. Regardless of whether you prefer – music or audio books – the requirements for “ears” are the same: high-quality sound, light weight and “so that without wires.” Well, let’s see, let’s see.

HUANG SHANG I11

Classic wireless in-ear headphones will appeal to those who prefer an active lifestyle and use a smartphone as a sound source. Quite compact and light, they “drive music” via Bluetooth and have a range of up to 10 meters for almost a day without additional charging – this is quite enough to listen to music while moving freely around the apartment. But if you are the owner of a spacious cottage, then just put the gadget in your pocket, and the problem will be solved. Stylish cylindrical storage and charging box included.

Price: ¥ 399.

Working radius: 10 m.

Warranty period: 24 months.

Bluetooth version: 4.2.

Waterproof: IPX5.

Dustproof: IP5X.

Sound: 20Hz-20kHz.

Working hours: 20-32 hours

Size: 16x24x26mm.

Box size: 32x110mm.

AMOI F9

These headphones come in two versions – classic black and trendy red – perfect for your Louboutins. Perhaps this – and also the price – is their main difference from the previous model. Other characteristics are almost standard – the same 10 meters range, the same Bluetooth connection, there is dust protection and moisture protection. Is that the box for storage and charging here is not a cylinder, but a “soap box”.

Price: ¥149.

Operation range: 10 m.

Bluetooth version: 4.2.

Waterproof: IPX6.

Dustproof: IP6X.

Battery: 3000mah.

Operating time: 240 hours

SONY ERICSSON T1

The products of this company hardly need any special introduction – the corporation won its reputation and fans a long time ago. The headphones in question come in classic black and white, one of the smallest and lightest in the test, weighing just over 4 grams. The radius is still the same 10 meters, but the operating time on a single charge is very modest – only about 5 hours. Enough for a walk or jog, but spending all day in them at the office or on a long-distance bus is hardly enough.

Price: ¥179.

Warranty period: 12 months.

Bluetooth version: 4.2.

Waterproof: IPX5.

Working time: 3-5 hours

Weight: 4.1g.

Size: 20x20x10mm.

Box size: 60x35x27mm.

Battery: 55mAh.

Radius: 10m.

DACOM

Cute headphones that look like ordinary wired earbuds, from which they simply took and cut off the wire. Girls will like it – you simply cannot find a more compact model, and even the color is only white, without options. They had to pay for the miniature size with the capacity of the batteries – they can sing and play only up to 5 hours, then – again for charging. But the manufacturer is sure that you don’t have to worry about the durability of his products – the warranty period here is already 2 years, which, as it were, hints and says a lot.

Price: ¥168.

Warranty period: 24 months.

Bluetooth version: 4.2.

Waterproof: IPX4.

Operating time: 5 hours

Size: 37x20mm.

Box size: 50x40x20mm.

Battery: 300mAh.

WOOMI X12

This model is definitely recommended for those who appreciate design developments – on the company’s website, the headphones are presented not in one or two, but in four or five options at once. Some – we are sure of this – will be appreciated by fans of Star Wars or Star Trek. In technical terms, everything is also in order here: the range is the largest in the test – not the standard 10, but as much as 15 meters! It also uses the latest version of Bluetooth. But most of all, the survivability of the functionality is impressive – up to 30 hours of work on a single charge! This is not a joke to you, but a very serious device, for which they also give a one-year warranty.

Price: ¥ 298.

Warranty period: 12 months.

Bluetooth version: 5.

Radius: 15 m.

Waterproof: IPX5.

Operating time: 8-30 h.

At Staples, we provide a broad range of office chairs and seating, so you can find the right fit for you. Select from multifunctional task chairs, computer & desk chairs, drafting stools and more. If you will be using your new chair for multiple hours a day, make sure to get an ergonomic office chair to prevent unnecessary strain.

Comfort, all day long

Office furniture that is the proper size and height makes a big difference. When shopping for chairs, the height of the seat should be adjustable so that the user’s feet can sit flat on the floor with their knees at right angles. Likewise, the accompanying office desk should be at a height where the users’ elbows can sit comfortably at right angles at their sides while typing or writing.

Show seasonal allergies who’s boss

If you suffer from seasonal allergies, now is when they are at their worst. Stock up on allergy season’s most important products to keep your home, classroom, and office allergen-free. Start with an air purifier to strip the air of allergens like pollen and pet dander and replace existing air filters for improved air quality. Frequently dust, wipe down hard surfaces, and vacuum carpets and furniture to help eliminate pollen tracked in from outside and dander left behind by pets. When leaving the house, check the pollen count and bring a face mask to help filter the air you breath outside.

No matter what you do, it’s unlikely that the symptoms of seasonal allergies can be avoided entirely. Make sure to have over-the-counter cold and allergy medications on hand to battle symptoms, and stock up on facial tissues so you’ll always have one available when you need them.

Spring (Cleaning) is in the air

Spring cleaning and decluttering is a tradition meant to refresh our spaces for the year ahead. Staples has everything you need to clear out the clutter, store and organize your belongings, and all the right cleaning supplies.

Clear out the clutter

Start by preparing a checklist and make sure you have all the necessary supplies. Use storage bins and a label maker to make sorting and organizing easier. Prepare extra boxes for donations and trash bags for the things you no longer need. Look for decorative boxes & baskets that will compliment your home’s décor and use them to organize. You can also use closet organizers and storage drawers anywhere they are needed.

Start with the basics

An all-purpose cleaner, cleaning brush and microfiber cloths will clean most surfaces. Use a duster to remove unwanted dirt and furniture polish to revitalize wood surfaces. Upgrade your broom, dustpan, wet mop, and vacuum to make cleaning any type of flooring a breeze.

The nitty gritty

Spring cleaning doesn’t stop there. There’s so much you can do to reset your home:

• Improve air quality and eliminate pollen and pet dander with a new air purifier and an air freshener with a scent you love.
• On a sunny day, take the opportunity to clean your windows – you’ll need glass cleaner, a bucket, a squeegee, and paper towels.
• Have a step stool or ladder on hand to access hard-to-reach places like the tops of cabinets and overhead lighting.
• Replace broken light bulbs and check the batteries in your smoke detectors.
• Use drain cleaner to clear up sink and bathtub drains.

Rest assured it arrives safely & securely

Whether you are sending business documents or customer products, shipping and mailroom supplies from Staples make the process seamless.

Keep packing supplies ready for easy shipping. Padded envelopes and bubble mailers are perfect for shipping small, non-fragile items. Pack larger items in shipping boxes that are slightly larger than the item, and use packing peanuts, bubble roll, or other packing materials to keep objects from moving in the box during transport. Choose the right packing tape to ensure your packages will stay sealed. Staples carries clear acrylic packing tape for everyday shipping and reinforced or water activated tape for packages that require a heavier duty seal.

Manage the day-to-day office correspondence smoothly with a wide selection of business envelopes, inter-office envelopes, and catalog envelopes in the mailroom. Have finger pads and envelope moisteners on hand for speedy document collation and a quick seal. Choose security envelopes for confidential office correspondence and inter-office communications. If your office or organization sends out large mailings, consider a paper folding machine and self-sealing envelopes to increase efficiency.
