Grell Audio TWS/1
Although not a household name, amongst headphone aficionados, Axell Grell, who designed headphones for Sennheiser for 27 years (including the $55,000 Orpheus headphone system) is about as big a celebrity name as you can get. So we were expecting big things when Grell left Sennheiser to start his own company, with its first product being the Grell Audio TWS/1 wireless earbuds. They sound great, but with a $200 price tag, they don’t outperform the competition enough to justify leaving your AirPods Pro behind. They’re also a bit large as far as modern wireless earbuds go, with finicky touch controls. But the biggest disappointment might be the fact that the left and right earbuds aren’t located in the left and right slots in their charging case, which can be confusing when you take them out and stick them in your ears.
