They may look strange, but the Free Buds 5 are excellent wireless earphones with an open fit that have a lot to offer - and at a reasonable price.

With the Sony WF-1000XM5, the best all-rounder takes the test winner crown. The in-ears combine very good sound with strong ANC and many practical functions. The Liberty 4 NC from Sound- core proves that cheap doesn't mean bad, holding its own in a strong test field and deservedly receiving the price-performance seal of approval.
