Status Audio is out to do things different. For one, they’re all over social media, talking about how their approach to true wireless earbuds is new and redefines the sound quality you can expect.

But they’re not perfect. At $249, they’re an expensive set that goes toe-to-toe with the biggest players in the industry in some ways and falls short in others. We’d recommend picking them up on sale, but they’re still a good set that’s worth considering if you can find them at a good price.
