Airthings 325 Corentium Home 2 vs Airthings Wave Plus

Full Smart Air Quality Monitors comparison in 2026

Updated July 2026
Data from Amazon and official Airthings site.
2026 verdict
Newer, cheaper and better reviewed: the Airthings 325 Corentium Home 2 defeats the Airthings Wave Plus on price, rating, battery life and display. Its LCD spells out rolling radon averages as Good, Fair or Poor, and two AA batteries run about 3 years versus roughly 1.5. The Wave Plus fights on sensor count alone, stacking CO2, VOCs and atmospheric pressure (plus a slightly fuller alert set) onto the shared radon, temperature and humidity, but it offers no screen beyond its wave-to-check ring. Otherwise they mirror each other: Bluetooth-only, SmartLink hub expansion, 5-year warranties, Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant and IFTTT. Radon-first buyers should take the Corentium Home 2 and pocket the difference; only a genuine need for CO2 and VOC data justifies the Wave Plus.
