We looked at every headphone in our catalogue with a known release date (32 devices across 2022–2025) and averaged the headline specs by launch year, using verified specs only. (Averages reflect the devices we track, not the entire market.)
| Year | Devices | Battery (ANC) | Driver | Weight | Launch price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 8 | 39h | 39mm | 299g | $384 |
| 2023 | 11 | 39h | 39mm | 262g | $281 |
| 2024 | 8 | 40h | 39mm | 270g | $310 |
| 2025 | 5 | 31h | 42mm | 284g | $1,029 |
Method: mean of each spec across the catalogue devices released that year (years with fewer than 5 tracked devices are omitted). Specs are validated from manufacturer sources; see how we score. Analysis by the Let’s Compare Data Engine.
