TheWF-SP700N are earphones that are completely wirelessand go straight up competing against the AirPods and the Gear IconX. While the battery life on these is a mere 3 hours, you can get an extra 9 hours of charge thanks to a so-called “one-touch open” case.
The earphones also come with IP4X water protection rating, so sweat shouldn’t be an issue. Priced at$200, the earphones come with Sony’s signature strong bass output while maintaining a light profile that’s comfortable to wear.Sony WI-SP600N Wireless Neckbuds

Similar to the WF-SP700N, these neckbuds also come with noise cancellation and IP4X sweat-resistance capability. With a price tag of$150, you get more battery life than the truly-wireless variants, just for that tiny strap around your neck.
