Though Cyrus Audio is best known for its range of amps and loudspeakers, it occasionally dips a toe into more mainstream waters. The in-ear soundBuds2 is very much aimed at the more affordable end of the market and so is not overburdened with added extras, but does have a sturdy and comfortable design.
The lightweight earbud is well built, housing a 6mm driver in an earpiece a little more streamlined than the original soundBuds. It boasts IPX5 water resistance and is very comfortable to wear – with three sizes of ear-tips and two sets of ‘fitting bands’, which wraps around the earbud and uses a little rubber hook to secure itself inside the ear.
