TWS Recommendation List

last updated on: April 3rd, 2025

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE LOOKING AT THE LIST

This is a recommendation list for TWS.

Choose the TWS which fit the description of your preferred sound signature.

(recommendations are based on different opinions within the In-Ear Fidelity Discord server, this has nothing to do with my own preferences)

If you don't have any preference in terms of sound signatures, choose the one which aesthetically looks the best for you.

(All recommendations have Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) included unless otherwise stated)

As always, please check the pricings in your country.

The TWS here are listed at their original MSRP.
