The verdict

The Sennheiser CX Plus True Wireless is a better all-around true wireless option than the previous CX True Wireless, which is saying something. It's reasonably priced, and it nails a lot of different high value features. It's a little bit of a pricey upgrade from the last generation, given how similar it is, but otherwise it's pretty good for most needs.
