Libratone Track Air+ review: the noise-cancelling AirPods Apple won’t give you

Digital music and audio | The Guardian 2019-09-20

Summary:

Great fit and sound, long battery, attractive design and pocketable case make for an excellent set of buds

Libratone has given us the better fitting AirPods that Apple wouldn’t, with great sound and noise cancelling.

The Danish audio firm’s Track Air+ are a set of true wireless earbuds, priced at £179, that follow the familiar design of earbud with stalk but no cable.

The Track Air+ are sweatproof (IPX4), so fine for running or the gym.

The angle of the stalks can clash with some larger earrings.

The case has an LED on the inside that shows when it’s charging, but you have to have the lid open.

If you have Bluetooth 5.0 on your phone then when you pair the left earbud the right one requests automatic pairing immediately afterwards so you can use them independently.

You can only connect to one device at a time (but can pair many).

Pros: great sound, noise cancelling, super comfortable, brilliant case, aptX and Bluetooth 5, long battery life, solid connectivity, small and attractive.

Cons: no AAC support, no volume control on buds, problem with wind noise, noise cancelling not the best.
