Ahead of CES 2024, Raycon, the audio brand that gets a lot of love from social media influencers, has created a new tier for its flagship Everyday lineup of wireless earbuds and headphones: the Everyday Pro.

Both the Everyday Earbuds Pro and the Everyday Headphones Pro are priced at $149 and come in three color choices: white, black, or blue. You’ll be able to buy them at the end of January.

The Everyday Earbuds Pro are a significant departure from Raycon’s previous models from a design point of view. Instead of the usual stemless shape, the Everyday Earbuds Pro adopt a small stem, and Raycon says that their shape is based on international ear scans for “increased comfort for endless listening sessions.” To help with getting a better fit, the Earbuds Pro includes five sets of gel eartips and three memory foam eartips.

Also new for the Everyday Earbuds Pro is the availability of active noise cancellation (ANC), support for Bluetooth Multipoint, and a six-mic array. Raycon claims that your voice will be “glass clear” when using the buds for calls, but that should probably be taken with skepticism– we’ve been disappointed by Raycon’s call quality in the past.

The case charges wirelessly or via USB-C, and Raycon claims you’ll get 10 hours of playtime per charge, with 40 hours total when you include the case.

The Everyday Headphones Pro have a new design that swaps the traditional forked earcup pivot for a sleeker, single pivot connection at the top of the earcups, mirroring the approach taken by Sony on its WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones.

The headphones offer more battery life (up to 60 hours with ANC off versus 40 hours for the Everyday Headphones) and support for Bluetooth Multipoint. Like the Everyday Earbuds Pro, the headphones are compatible with voice assistants, but triggering the feature requires a somewhat awkward simultaneous press of the ANC button and the volume + button for 2 seconds.

Anker's Soundcore audio brand has a new set of wireless noise-canceling headphones that can fold up to become 50% smaller. The Space One Pro come in black and cream color options and are available starting September 5 for $200.

Soundcore calls the new folding system FlexiCurve. In addition to the usual pivots and hinges we see on normal fold-up/fold-flat designs, the Space One Pro use a five-segmented headband, where each segment maintains a folding angle of 5 to 8 degrees, letting the headphones fold into an almost circular shape.

Legendary cymbal brand Zildjian dives into headphones
Zildjian Alchem-e Perfect Tune headphones.

Even folks who have never picked up a pair of drumsticks probably know the name Zildjian -- or at least, they probably recognize the company's distinctive script-like logo. It's emblazoned on every Zildjian cymbal, making it pretty hard to miss in hundreds (if not thousands) of music videos. Now, for the first time, you'll find it emblazoned on the side of wireless headphones thanks to the company's Alchem-e Perfect Tune, a $400 set of noise-canceling cans that can be personalized to your hearing.

The new headphones -- available in three colors --  share the same Alchem-e branding as the company's first electronic drum kit, which launched earlier this year, starting at $4,500.

Only one person will win these diamond-encrusted Bose earbuds
Diamond encrusted Bose Ultra Open Earbuds.

It's Bose's 60th anniversary, so the company is celebrating with an appropriate creation: a set of diamond-encrusted Bose Ultra Open Earbuds valued at over $9,000. The blingy buds are one-of-a-kind and they aren't for sale. Instead, Bose has decided to award them to one lucky person: the winner of its Diamond-Studded Giveaway contest.

Is this an obvious marketing move to generate buzz for the audio brand? For sure, but it's also a way to drive sales of Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, Ultra Earbuds, and Ultra Open Earbuds in the new limited edition "Diamond Collection" product color.  Each Diamond Collection purchase on bose.com between August 26 and September 16 gets you one entry into the contest, up to a maximum of three entries per person.
