Adidas Z.N.E. 01 ANC

£170, adidas.com

Adidas launched two sets of true wireless headphones in 2021 and the pricier Z.N.E. 01 ANC option comes with slightly better all-round skills. That includes ANC, in-ear detection with auto pause and a 26-hour total battery life, with six hours in the buds and 20 in the compact back-up case.

The wingtip-free, stem-style buds are light, but there’s a lot of plastic involved. The sound is loud but tinny, with limited EQ options. The ANC and transparency modes work well. They’re sweatproof and water-resistant, and support wireless charging.
