To recap

These true wireless in-ears are a class-leader in audio performance - if you’re willing to pay the weighty price ticket. They don’t come with the best active noise-cancelling (ANC) out there, but it’s still very good and backed up by truly awesome sonics. The wireless charging case is neat too, with Bluetooth transmission, so you can use it to connect a wired source to your headphones. A great debut in the field from Bowers & Wilkins.
