TWS recommendation list

This is a recommendation list for TWS. Choose the TWS which fit the description of your preferred sound signature. You can still ask the sender for help, which one to choose, when you like a specific kind of sound. Alternatively, you could choose one of the TWS and EQ it with the app made for the TWS, to change the sound signature.

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

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

As always, please check the pricings in your country, as they may differ from the price on this list. The TWS here are listed at their MSRP.
