Astell&Kern UW100MkII review: Second time's a charm

These refined earbuds get some welcome upgrades - are they still ideal for audiophiles?

Improved battery life ; Much nicer case ; Great balanced sound

No IP water resistance ; No option for ANC

These earbuds are great for a very specific audience - they're not the most practical out there, but they sound superb and bring welcome improvements compared to last time out.

Astell&Kern UW100MKII review: sound of mind

These second-gen true wireless earbuds double down on sound quality. The UW100MKII don't do active noise cancellation, though

High quality Bluetooth playback ; Lots of scope for fine-tuning ; Long battery life

Lacks active noise cancellation ; No IP rating ; Touch controls can be sensitive

Wireless in-ears for those that value sound clarity, and who don’t listen in loud environments. The UW100MKII pack a sonic punch but aren’t as well-rounded as many rivals

Some might bemoan the absence of ANC on the Astell&Kern UW100MKII, but the reality is that the passive isolation is rather effective and in a market where many of the models that offer ANC lose a lot of their lustre with it engaged, the second version...
