You’re pretty spoilt for choice today if you want a pair of true wireless earphones that sound fantastic but don’t break the bank. The latest you should add to you must-listen list is the Sennheiser CX Plus True Wireless.

The CX Plus True Wireless sits comfortably between the CX True Wireless and Momentum True Wireless 2, at a price point that is reasonable for a Sennheiser. While the MTW2 delivers a more refined sound, the CX Plus provides all the bells and whistles at S$100 lower.

Most affordable ANC and Transparency Hearing from Sennheiser, Supports EQ customisation via smartphone app, Supports touch control personalisation, Cheaper than Momentum TW2 with identical features

Not able to adjust the ANC and Transparency levels, Sound quality not as refined as Momentum TW2

In contrast to the CX True Wireless , the new Sennheiser CX Plus True Wireless model offers functional noise cancelling and a coherent, powerful sound image for an extra 30 euros. These new True Wireless earbuds also fit comfortably.

With only a small bump in price, adding active noise-cancelling (ANC) - even though it's mediocre - into the CX earbuds was worth it in our view, making for another solid budget outing from Sennheiser.

Good sound; Solid value; Excellent battery life;

Noise-cancelling could be better; Middling build quality;

Not what you’d call a complete success, but when the CX Plus True Wireless are good they’re very good indeed.

Very decent specs at the price; Balanced, confident sound; Numerous (and effective) control options;

Not the most effective noise-cancelling; Not too certain where rhythms are concerned; Predictably ungainly design

Excellent comfort and fit; Well-featured app and specification; Warm, weighty sound;

ANC isn’t the most convincing; Short on detail and clarity;

The Sennheiser CX Plus deliver natural, balanced audio at an affordable price, but noise cancelling misses the mark

Crisp, clean sound; Great range of customisation options; Comfortable fit;

Disappointing ANC; Chunky design; Call quality could be better;

Customisable touch controls; Impressively punchy sound; Good performance across music, videos & gaming;

Infuriating companion app on Android; May not fit smaller-eared humans; Intermittent connectivity issues;
