The Status Between Pro True Wireless are Status' first pair of in-ear headphones. These mid-range buds are designed with premium aesthetics in mind. Their hybrid triple driver system is unique among truly wireless earbuds, and can help deliver better quality audio. They deliver lots of thumpy bass, but they don't have active noise cancellation (ANC) or any sound customization features. Fortunately, their battery lasts long enough to get you through workdays without recharging them. They also support aptX codec for streaming higher-quality audio.
Our Verdict
The Status Between Pro are satisfactory for neutral sound. Their bass-heavy sound will please fans of EDM and hip-hop, but vocals and lead instruments are muddied by the overemphasized bass range. Additionally, the underemphasized treble range makes sibilants, like cymbals, sound dull. You can't change the sound profile either, as these earbuds lack a companion app or features like an EQ. However, they support aptX codec for better audio quality than the default codec.
- Stable and well-built.
- Decently comfortable.
- No EQ or sound customization features.
- Unremarkable passive noise isolation.
The Status Between Pro are good for commuting and travel. While they can't passively isolate you from rumbly public bus engines, they do a better job cutting out passenger chatter and high-pitched fans. Their long battery life will last lengthy rides or flights, but they feel heavy over time.
- Stable and well-built.
- Decently comfortable.
- Unremarkable passive noise isolation.
The Status Between Pro are great for sports and fitness. They have a durable build and are rated IPX5 for resistance against direct exposure to water, making these buds ideal for runs in the rain. You can change their stability fins between the three included sizes, so it's easy to find a fit that won't move around during moderate exercise. However, they protrude somewhat from your ear and may come loose during an intense workout.
- Stable and well-built.
- Decently comfortable.
- Rated IPX5.
- Unremarkable passive noise isolation.
The Status Between Pro are okay for use at the office. They're suitable for long days at the office, thanks to their nearly eight-hour battery and decently comfortable build. While they don't afford you the peace that ANC can provide, they still passively block out a good amount of ambient office chatter and the high-pitched hums of AC units. They also don't support multi-device pairing, meaning you'll need to manually switch between your laptop and phone all day long.
- Decently comfortable.
- Unremarkable passive noise isolation.
The Status Between Pro are Bluetooth-only earbuds, and their latency will likely be too high for wireless gaming.
The Status Between Pro are truly wireless earbuds; you can't use them for wired gaming.
The Status Between Pro are alright for phone calls. Their integrated mic has reasonable performance, making your voice sound clear and present, if not a little sharp. You'll be understandable in quiet and moderately noisy environments, but the mic doesn't do a great job of separating your voice from louder background noise, like a blaring car horn or a passing train. Their high noise floor also interferes with the clarity of incoming audio, which can be frustrating if you make many calls. Their unremarkable passive noise isolation also means your call audio can get easily drowned out by louder background noise.
- Reasonable mic performance.
- No EQ or sound customization features.

Popular Headphones Comparisons
The Status Between Pro are mid-range in-ears with a high-end design. However, they lack many extra features typically found on similarly-priced in-ears. Other mid-range headphones, like the Google Pixel Buds Pro Truly Wireless, feature multi-device pairing and an ANC system. Cheaper earbuds like the Nothing Ear (stick) Truly Wireless have ANC and a companion app with a graphic EQ. The Status have none of these features and only have a slightly longer, if not equal, battery life to the other buds. On the other hand, Status' real bragging point for these in-ears is their hybrid triple driver system, which they advertise to be a 'world first' and improve sound quality compared to most wireless buds' single driver build. As such, the sound is bass-heavy, which is great if you like metal or dubstep or are just looking for a fuller sound from your earbuds.

The Status Between Pro True Wireless are better headphones than the Status Audio BT One Wireless. These two headphones are made by the same manufacturer but have different designs and purposes. While on-ear BT One also have a better passive soundstage due to their design, the in-ear Between Pro have better passive noise isolation, better performance, and a more stable build. However, the BT One has a slightly more neutral sound profile, with a less overemphasized bass, but a more uneven treble range.
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II Truly Wireless are better earbuds than the Status Between Pro True Wireless. Although more expensive, the Bose have a powerful active noise cancellation (ANC) as well as a companion app with graphic EQ and presets, neither of which are offered with the Status buds. However, the Status have a longer continuous battery life.
The Status Between Pro True Wireless are better earbuds than the Nothing Ear (stick). Status' buds have better stability, better passive noise isolation performance, and longer continuous battery life. Status' buds also have a better-balanced mid-range, which helps ensure the accurate reproduction of vocals and instruments. However, the Nothing in-ears have a graphic EQ that lets you change their sound. They're also more comfortable.
The Status Between 3ANC True Wireless have the edge over the Status Between Pro True Wireless. While both headphones look very similar, are well-built, and have a triple-driver design, the 3ANC have noise cancelling and can block out more ambient noise across the range. They also have a companion app to help customize their sound to your liking, and they support multi-device pairing so that you can stay connected to your PC and smartphone simultaneously. However, the Between Pro support aptX codec for high audio quality via Bluetooth.
