Airthings 2950 Wave Radon vs Airthings Wave Plus

For most radon-focused buyers, Airthings 2950 Wave Radon is the better pick: it costs noticeably less, holds a slightly higher owner rating, and covers the fuller alert set in the app. Airthings Wave Plus only makes sense if you want its extra CO2, VOC and air pressure sensors on top of radon.

The sensor count. The Wave Plus measures six things: radon, CO2, VOCs, temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure. The Wave Radon sticks to radon, temperature and humidity. Physically and functionally they are near twins otherwise, with the same wave-to-check ring, Bluetooth syncing and battery-powered design.

No. Both the Airthings 2950 Wave Radon and the Airthings Wave Plus are screen-free and Bluetooth-only. You wave a hand over them for a green, yellow or red status ring, and you get numbers and history in the app when in range. Both can link to an optional Airthings Hub over SmartLink for continuous online data.

Choose Airthings 2950 Wave Radon if radon is the main thing you want to monitor, in a basement, crawlspace or ground floor room. You get the same continuous radon tracking, app history, 5-year warranty and platform support as the Wave Plus for less money, plus low battery alerts the Wave Plus does not confirm.

Choose Airthings Wave Plus if you want one device covering indoor air quality broadly: radon plus CO2 and VOCs for ventilation and airborne chemicals, along with temperature, humidity and pressure. It suits bedrooms, offices and living spaces where stuffiness and air freshness matter as much as radon.
