CUTTING-EDGE Ear Candy

New headphones from PSB Speakers and Sony will help you find respite on your next adventure.

Meanwhile, Sony has also added to its headphone lineup with the WF-C700N, small and lightweight wireless noise cancelling earbuds. Comfortable and compact, the WF-C700N have been designed by utilising extensive ear shape data collated since Sony introduced the world’s first in-ear headphones in 1982. The new additions combine a shape to perfectly match the human ear with an ergonomic surface design for a more stable fit. Available in black, white, lavender and sage green, the WF-C700N earbuds can cancel out background noise or, using Ambient Sound Mode, which uses feedforward mics to capture more of the ambient sound around you, you can enjoy a natural listening experience while staying connected to your environment. The cylindrical charging case is small and easy to carry around in a pocket or bag so you can take the earbuds anywhere you go. sony.com — NICK WALTON
