Each part is measured the same way for every model (from specs and lab test measurements where they exist) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • Good sound for the price, plenty of EQ presets and a custom EQ
  • ANC and ambient mode both useful
  • Clear calls indoors and outside
  • Long battery and quick top-ups
  • More detail and space than the Wave Buds 2
  • Stem mics make outdoor calls a bit clearer
  • ANC handles fan and AC hum without ear pressure

Cons

  • Fit less comfy than pricier buds
  • ANC well short of premium models
  • Talk-through mode nearly mutes your music
  • U-shaped tuning pulls vocals back
  • About 7 h with ANC in real use
  • No in-ear detection
  • Great sound for the money and easy to live with; a good casual or second pair for work and gym.

    In a head-to-head with the Wave Buds 2, the Beam 2 edges ahead on detail and call clarity; both are solid budget buys.
