Pros and cons
AGM Mobile

Cons
- Returns run 15 days, placing AGM Mobile at 28 of 42 brands on the return window.
- Support runs on email, help centre and community, and a voice line is not among those channels.
- A 12 months warranty ranks 12 of 33, so cover sits in the middle of the field rather than above it.
Bowers & Wilkins
Pros
- Product types run to headphones, earbuds and speakers, so a single maker covers travel and home listening.
- A warranty of 2 years compares with a site median of 1 years.
- Noise cancelling and multiroom are both supported, so commuting and whole-home playback share the same app.
Cons
- Entry price of $249 places the brand at 57 of 64 on price from, and the earbuds are the cheapest way in.
- Battery life of 30 hours falls short of the site median of 40 hours, ranking 36 of 61.
- Support runs on help centre, phone and chat, and email is not among them, so buyers who prefer writing need another route.
