Noise cancelling performer
Needless to say, AirPods Pro 2 are stem earbuds (even though it looks shorter than AirPods). Together with Dynamic Head tracking and Spatial Audio they are excellent NC performance. But the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC are half cheaper - but the ANC is still thrilling as well as its sound.

Straight, thin stem and half-in ear earbuds make Fiil CC2 look really stylish in matte-metallic grey. Small body means that they don't have lot of room for larger battery that Fiil CC2 just last more or less 5 hours between charges.
