For $299 Devialet's wireless earbuds come in at a fairly reasonable price especially considering the quality and attention to detail that is bound to come with the brand. Focusing on audio and premium noise-canceling features, this looks to be a very promising competitor to the Airpods Pro. While personally, I prefer the form factor and in-ear design of the Airpods Pro (the Devialet earbuds look a bit bulky and heavy in-ear), I'd be tempted to buy these just for the promise of high-quality sound with professional ANC, accessible to me on the go. One of my favorite features that What Hi-Fi mentions in their review is that "With Devialet Gemini, if one of the earbuds moves, the in-built microphones will detect the change in frequency and adapt, tailoring the signal to the ear up to 10,000 times per second". I'm sure you'll like this, @rrhoover!

@calum it's hard to beat the AirPods iOS/MacOS integration, but I'm very curious what these sound like. Love my Devialet Phantom.

@rrhoover Absolutely. If these had a W1 chip I'd seriously consider getting them, even if I'm not that keen on the form factor, just for the sound quality and 6 hour battery life

Devialet makes great premium speakers but their software and lack of reliable integration with AirPlay or other audio protocols makes them increasingly fringe. Their recent shift to their new platform, standing long-time customers, had also been handled poorly. Maybe earbuds is a less complex product to build, but without built-in voice assistant support and robust Mac/iOS integration, I'm not willing to take a chance.
