The three latest Sony truly wireless earbuds (as of August, 2020)
Sony WF-1000X
Avg. rating: (63%) (2729 reviews over 4 sources)This Sony WF-1000X Bluetooth headset may not have the best battery specs (like most other cord-free models), but its 3-hour single-charge working time is supplemented by features like an ambient sound mode, NFC support, and adaptive sound control.

Sony h.ear in 2
Avg. rating: (75%) (70 reviews over 2 sources)The Sony h.ear in 2 has a sound-enhancing DSEE HX feature, an 8-hour working time, and high-resolution audio support in its arsenal of specs, but its vibrating neckband is perhaps the most unique thing that sets it apart from other Bluetooth headsets.
Sony WH-H800
Avg. rating: (89%) (312 reviews over 2 sources)The Sony WH-H800's 24-hour battery life will likely impress audiophiles on its own, but other specs, such as support for high-resolution audio, NFC capability, and a Digital Sound Enhancement Engine HX feature make it appear like an even more promising Bluetooth headset.
Sony WH-1000XM2
Avg. rating: (88%) (4463 reviews over 3 sources)This premium-class Bluetooth headset from Sony unsurprisingly sports promising specs and features, which include adaptive sound control, sound optimization based on atmospheric pressure (for in-flight use, in particular), a 38-hour music playback time (30 hours if noise cancellation is turned on), and touch controls.
Sony WH-H900N
Avg. rating: (90%) (1188 reviews over 4 sources)The Sony WH-H900N Bluetooth headset boasts convenience-enhancing tricks like a quick attention feature and an ambient sound mode, all while having the basic specs covered -- with a 28-hour working time (with noise cancellation turned on) that comes at the price of a relatively-long 6-hour charging time.
Sony WI-1000X
Avg. rating: (79%) (1110 reviews over 4 sources)Aside from a sophisticated-sounding atmospheric pressure-optimizing feature, the Sony WI-1000X also offers an ambient sound mode, a comparatively-lengthy (compared to most other Bluetooth headsets' specs) 13-hour maximum playback time, and only 100 hours of stand-by (with the noise-cancelling option turned off).
Sony MDR-XB950B1
Avg. rating: (81%) (3642 reviews over 3 sources)The NFC-enabled Sony MDR-XB950B1 promises an enhanced bass experience (compared to the average Bluetooth headset), an option for wired use, and a better-than-most usage time of 18 hours -- although its 200-hour stand-by is unfortunately not as satisfactory as its other specs.
Sony Xperia Ear
Avg. rating: (81%) (51 reviews over 2 sources)Joining the group of high-priced Bluetooth headsets, this IPX2-rated single earbud is packed with features and specs like echo cancelling, motion control (yes/no through head movements), multi-lingual voice control, and a 4-hour playback. Sadly, it is not compatible with iOS devices.
Sony MDR-XB80BS
Avg. rating: (78%) (1569 reviews over 4 sources)Aside from being compatible with NFC devices, the Sony MDR-XB80BS markets itself as a user-friendly Bluetooth headset by banking on its IPX5 rating (even claiming that it is "washable") and bass-enhancing feature -- but its longevity specs (200 hours of stand-by and seven hours of usage) are obviously not the best.
Sony MDR-XB50BS
Avg. rating: (83%) (4644 reviews over 4 sources)Weighing only 0.76 oz, this lightweight splash-proof in-ear Bluetooth headset is NFC-capable and equipped with specs like 12mm drivers and neodymium magnets, which Sony claims to create a powerful sound experience, especially for bass-heavy listeners.
Sony MDR 100ABN
Avg. rating: (85%) (1433 reviews over 4 sources)The 100ABN Bluetooth headset builds its music-oriented portfolio through features like aptX and high-res audio support, Beat response control technology for "low-end focused music styles", AI which automatically selects the level of noise cancellation based on ambient noise, and 20 hours of music playback which, to no surprise, requires a relatively-longer charging time of six hours.
Sony SBH70
Avg. rating: (77%) (474 reviews over 2 sources)Although this lightweight around-the-neck Bluetooth headset is IP57 rated (water-resistant) and made with smart memory metal (The unit remembers your fit), it mixes below-par specs like Bluetooth 3.0 with better ones, like the promise of 27 days of stand-by battery life.
Sony MDR-XB650BT
Avg. rating: (80%) (6521 reviews over 7 sources)The XB650BT Bluetooth headset is the mid-range model from the Sony Extra Bass line, featuring the noise-cancelling Bass Booster technology, aptX, and above-average working and stand-by times of 30 and 300 hours, respectively -- which unsurprisingly also entails twice the battery charging time
Sony ZX770BT
Avg. rating: (83%) (3266 reviews over 6 sources)A 2200-Ohm speaker impedance stands out most in this Bluetooth headset's specs list that also features one-touch pairing (NFC) and a 17-hour music time.
Sony MDR-1ABT
Avg. rating: (81%) (185 reviews over 2 sources)Touch control panels along with approximately 30 hours of music streaming are some of the key factors of this 11-ounce Bluetooth headset's list of features.
Sony MDR-AS600BT
Avg. rating: (73%) (1074 reviews over 5 sources)This NFC-enabled Bluetooth headset places itself in the sports category with a splash-proof IPX4 rating and offers around 8.5 hours of playback on 8.89mm neodymium drivers.
Sony MDR-ZX330BT
Avg. rating: (84%) (3281 reviews over 3 sources)The MDR-ZX330BT Bluetooth headset could be noted for its music playback time (30 hours) and its 30mm ferrite-magnet drivers.
Sony MDR-ZX770BN
Avg. rating: (81%) (2257 reviews over 3 sources)A 13-hour music time (19 hours with noise cancellation off) and NFC capability are two of this Bluetooth headset's key features, as well as its included audio cable (Sony says it provides a better sound) and a bass-distortion-control system.
Sony MDR-AS800BT
Avg. rating: (90%) (920 reviews over 4 sources)This Bluetooth headset, which leans toward the sporty end with IPX4 water resistance, can play music continuously for around 4.5 hours with its 6mm dynamic drivers=.
Sony SBH80 Stereo
Avg. rating: (75%) (5187 reviews over 5 sources)Stereo Bluetooth 3.0 headset with 650 hours (27 days) of standby time, a music/call remote control, and NFC touch-less technology.
Sony MBH10
