Sony WF-C710N
Widely stocked across European electronics retailers, Sony's WF-C710N is the affordable ANC bud that brings the brand's noise-cancelling know-how to a mainstream price.
Read the product overview
It pairs effective active noise cancellation and ambient sound mode with Sony's likeable, slightly bass-leaning tuning and a long battery life of around eight and a half hours with ANC on. DSEE upscaling, multipoint and 360 Reality Audio support add value, while a colourful, compact design including a striking translucent glass-blue finish has made it a popular pick in the EU mid-budget tier. There is no LDAC and the case lacks wireless charging, but for the money the cancellation and runtime are hard to beat.
