Why you should buy the Sony WF-1000XM5 

We tested these buds a couple of years ago, and reviewer Simon Cohen said, “Smaller, sleeker, and with awesome sound, the XM5 are Sony’s best buds.”

If you’re the kind of person who demands accuracy from your in-ear audio products, the warm, bass-friendly sound profile of the XM5 buds should make you very happy. Everything from rock and rap to less traditional genres like classical and jazz sound fantastic through these earbuds, and the Sony Sound Connect app gives you several audio customizations for dialing in the perfect sound based on your listening preferences. 

As Sony’s flagship earbuds, the WF-1000XM5 also deliver a noise-canceling experience that’s tough to beat. Bid farewell to annoying engine noises and HVAC hum. Other noteworthy features include up to eight hours of battery life on a full charge (with ANC enabled), Bluetooth Multipoint, and memory foam ear tips for some of the best in-ear comfort you’ve ever experienced. 

Save $50 when you purchase the Sony WF-1000XM5 Wireless Earbuds today. We also recommend taking a look at our collections of the best headphone deals, best Sony TV deals, and best Amazon deals for even more discounts on top audio products!

The company has officially unveiled the Acton IV and Stanmore IV, bringing a series of meaningful upgrades that go beyond simply making them louder. While improved bass and cleaner sound are part of the package, Marshall is also making a welcome push toward repairability, allowing owners to replace several external components instead of replacing the entire speaker.

I was skeptical of clip-style open earbuds. After trying my first pair, I don’t want to go back
No pressure, no plugged-up feeling, no fatigue. After months of all-day wear, open-air audio earclips have earned a permanent spot in my routine.
Baseus Bowie MC2 earclip earbuds.

I am not what you would call an audiophile. I don't obsess over terms like LDAC and DSEE upscaling. For me, they're just another utilitarian gadget to get the job done. Somewhere along the way, however, I stopped judging earbuds purely on how they sound and started paying closer attention to how naturally they fit into an ordinary day.

So much of this category now chases bass, noise cancellation, and a spec sheet full of features that comfort has quietly become an afterthought. I recently got a chance to try the Baseus Bowie MC2, my first pair of earclip-style earbuds. It came as a revelation for me. I picked them up from Amazon at $40, so it wasn't a big hit on my wallet either. The leap of faith, I'd say, was well worth it.
