RHA TRUECONNECT 2

£129.95 The TrueConnect2 is a ‘noise-isolating’ earbud with one of the best audio qualities on test. It has a lovely depth to the bass and extremely clear vocals. Vitally, they allow you to safely enjoy music while remaining aware of environmental sounds while running. Coming in at only 6g each, the lightweight buds have different-sized tips for adjustability, though we still had trouble keeping them in our ears at times; in fact, we had to push them quite far into the ear canal so they didn’t fall out, which can cause a fair bit of discomfort. An upgrade from the previous model sees touch control on the buds, which works well and makes them highly functional. A claimed 9hr single-charge battery life is better than many on test, with the slim charging case said to provide a further 35hrs. Meanwhile, an IP55 rating means they can withstand light showers and aren’t damaged by dirt/dust. rha-audio.com
