Ever since Apple released the wildly popular AirPods in 2016, audio companies have followed suit and released their own renditions of truly wireless earbuds year after year. The category has exploded in popularity and now you can get TWS (truly wireless) earphones ranging all the way from 1K to 25K or even higher. Owing to this, we decided to divide this segment of audio into two different categories this year - Premium (above 10K) and Budget/Affordable (under 10K). 2020 saw a lot of action in the premium true wireless segment with manufacturers pushing a horde of features in their offerings such as Active Noise Cancellation, wireless charging, smart pause and play, multipoint connection, and much more. The audio quality and wireless connectivity have progressively become more sophisticated since the inception of TWS earphones, and this year, we saw multiple premium truly wireless earbuds offer excellent audio chops in addition to improved features and build. So let’s get right into revealing the winner in this burgeoning category. Note: We recently updated our test process for IEMs to include objective scoring in addition to our subjective assessment. We utilise an innovative product from SLS Audio (Denmark) which is specifically designed to test in-ear headphones called the 07mm MiEMi-M & iSEMcon EMX-7150 Measurement Mic. This is plugged to our audio interface device - Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. To measure the frequency response of the earphones captured by the microphone, we hook these devices up to a PC running the comprehensive SMAART-Di v2 software. We measure pink noise to get a frequency response graph of the earphones and pit them against each other. Once we have the frequency graph, we can look at it to determine how the audio device is colouring the sound, and arrive at the objective sound profile of the device.
