Nokia Noise Cancelling Earbuds
Mac Life
|January 2022
Friendly, but never best buds
Features Three listening modes, touch controls, Google Assistant, 25 hours battery life total
Nokia’s buds look like AirPods, but how do they compare? At $150, they are $100 cheaper than Apple’s AirPods Pro, yet still offer active noise cancelation (ANC). You get five hours of battery with ANC on (the same as AirPods Pro), a charging case, and Google Assistant (but no Siri). Unsurprisingly, there are compromises to accommodate all that.
