The perfect headphones for a big city
A bit pricey but nowadays we should come to expect that with good quality comes a certain pricepoint. These headphones walk the line and don’t go over it. You’ll get a quality sound, great for all of your music that gives you an escapism from the outside world in small, discrete form factor.

Jaw-droppingly accomplished neckband earphones
9/10
Sony's earphone game is getting stronger by the year, with its latest wireless earphones being testimony to that improvement. The WI-1000X are, without doubt, among the best in-ears we've tested in a while.

A noble noise-cancelling neckband with sublime sound
10/10
The WI-1000X is a fantastic mid-way point, untethering you from your smartphone but finding room in the neckband for a significantly bigger battery. You haven’t got to worry about losing an earbud with these, either.

Audiophile wireless earbuds for commuters
8/10
If you can’t stand over-ear headphones, the Sony WI-1000X are a great in-ear alternative. The inclusion of aptX HD support makes the Sonys one of the best wireless headphones we’ve heard.

Decent sound and noise-cancelling
10/10
The best of both worlds - great sound and noise-cancelling capabilities - make these a smart choice.

Offers top-notch sound tech
8/10
The WI-1000x offers great sound and Sony's top-notch noise-cancellation tech in a light and convenient package, but one that favours practicality over style.

Radical new form, same great sound
9/10
The Sony WI-1000X can't be considered cheap by most measures. But when you consider its excellent noise-canceling performance and wireless features, plus app support to boot, you can start to see its appeal.
