Sony's WI-C100 wireless in-ear headphones are a solid choice if you want long battery life, a comfy neckband design, and decent splash resistance for workouts or travel. They shine with up to 25 hours of playtime and clearer calls thanks to their built-in microphone. Just make sure to get the right earbud tips — a poor fit can seriously affect sound and mic performance.
