The CX True Wireless improve on their predecessor’s sound and features – but the competition has caught up and, in some respects, surpassed what Sennheiser is offering here.

If you're looking for earbuds on a medium budget, these are a great option that will last days at a time, although they might not feel like the highest-quality bit of tech you own.

More true wireless earbud for your money than is usual - and mostly in a good way.

The Sennheiser CX 400BT is a really solid mid-range set of TWS earphones, but bargain hunters may want to find something else if ANC is important to them. Still, having high-end audio hardware at a mid-range price point is a good bargain in our opinion.

With great sound and upgraded battery life, the Sennheiser CX True Wireless goes high on quality and low on price.

The Sennheiser CX True Wireless are a worthy upgrade compared to their predecessors, yet they’re even cheaper than the CX 400BT and many other true wireless earbuds on the market. They offer excellent audio performance, great connectivity, and a decent battery life. Despite not being sold on the design, these buds are still well worth checking out.

Robust customizability through an app is unheard of at $130, and while many will consider these “no frills” wireless earbuds given the lack of ANC or ambient sound boosting, Sennheiser has obviously made those compromises to focus on creating an affordable set of wireless buds that that sound fantastic for those who prioritize audio over everything else.

Overall performance of the earphone is worth the price, the battery life, design, and connectivity. The best part is- they are sweat proof, so you can hit the gym hard while listening to your favorite songs.

By SmartphoneCrunch on July 07, 2021

Hands on: Some people may have an issue with their size and fit, but the upgrades on the inside and price drop make the CX True Wireless an appealing choice for folks who can't afford more premium true-wireless earbud options but want premium performance.
