The verdict

The fit and comfort are so-so for some wearers, but those who can find a good fit with the T5 II ANC, will enjoy a host of good features and solid sound quality. The price may deter the budget-conscious among us, but a decent equalizer app, great noise cancellation, and Dirac HD Sound make the T5 II True Wireless ANC experience a pleasure, at least while the short battery lasts.
