Wireless Earbuds: $200 For Silence You Paid For Anyway

Shopping for wireless earbuds in 2024 is like choosing your poison among incredibly tiny sound fortresses. The Sony WF-1000XM5 reign supreme with 'the company's best noise cancellation, powerful and lively sound, and a comfortable fit,' smashing your ears with clarity and shutting out your in-laws like a pro. But hey, brace yourself—these beauties are still a pricey gamble at over $200, slashing from $330 with Ricardo-level discounts. And don't worry about battery life; Sony fixed 'battery issues' from past models, so your earbuds might outlast your enthusiasm for Zoom calls. Pop these things in, and enjoy the 8 hours of blissful audio... if you can find them in that glossy case!
