The Movo UM300 is a tiny USB microphone with enough features to cover most people's microphone needs. The UM300's small body fits easily onto a desk, and its small price tag should fit easily into anyone's budget.

During CES 2022, Shure debuted their new over-ear headphones AONIC 40. The slim and foldable headphones are designed to deliver studio-quality sound on the go. With more than 25 hours of battery life, ANC, and both wireless and wired connection options, the headphones are the ideal travel companion for music lovers.

The OnePlus Buds Z2 are relatively inexpensive True Wireless in-ears with active noise cancellation with an MSRP of less than 100 Euros (~$114). Read whether the wireless Bluetooth headphones are worth the money and justify a purchase in the review of the latest OnePlus TWS.

Making a splash. The Elite 4 Active is another offering in Jabra's in-ear headphone series designed for an active lifestyle. The headset comes well-equipped with features like active noise cancellation, an IP certification, and aptX support.

Impressive audio. The Sennheiser CX True Wireless feature great sound quality and wearing comfort, promise a long battery life, and carry an IPX4 rating to boot. Is that enough to earn a recommendation?

The PAMU Z1 ANC earbuds are an affordable pair of wireless buds with a comfortable ergonomic design. While the Z1s lack features and high-end sound quality found on other TWS earphones, they fit comfortably and outclass many options in their price bracket.

More power with less power. Qualcomm presented the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 at this year's Snapdragon Tech Summit, its new high-end SoC for smartphones and tablets. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is Qualcomm's first chipset manufactured on a 4 nm process and relies on a completely redesigned GPU from the Adreno 700 series. Still, the youngest dragon does not show improvements in all areas.

Greatly improved. Samsung has launched the second generation of its Galaxy Buds and has not only given the TWS headphones a new look and new colors, but also Active Noise Canceling. The price of 149 Euros (~$169) is quite attractive. Read our review to find out what else the Galaxy Buds2 have to offer.

While many brands use a software app to compensate for weak hardware or provide above-average hardware to make up for the lack of a customization app, Padmate brings both into the equation. Today, we will see how inspired is this brand's product labeled "Pamu Z1 Pro" and advertised to eliminate up to 40 dB of noise while providing excellent quality audio.
