Review: Libratone Air+ (2nd Gen)
Price: £179 from fave.co/3HYPjZe
Libratone, based in Copenhagen, Denmark, builds wireless speakers and headphones featuring timeless Danish design. The company’s latest offering, the stylish Air+ (2nd Gen) true wireless earbuds, offer strong noise-cancelling, musical transparency, a good sound signature, and a great fit. A few design quirks – and the fierce competition at the price point – prevent me from giving them a strong recommendation.
DESIGN
These second-generation noise-cancelling true wireless earbuds are available in white or black (the colour of my review set, which I’d say is more of a midnight blue).
They sport a polymer diaphragm driver with neodymium magnets. Libratone says their sonic tuning is inspired by “Nordic audio tuning philosophy”. I’m not quite sure what that means, but as I’ll explain in more detail in my listening tests, I found the Air+ (2nd Gen) to be good performers in terms of bass response, but they sounded somewhat veiled when reproducing some other frequencies.
Note: In the interest of brevity, I’ll refer to these headphones as Air+
