Available in white and black, these brilliant wireless earbuds offer great noise cancellation, a comfy fit, and clear voice calls – and an IPX4 water resistance rating means you can use them while working out.

The Panasonic RZ-S500W true wireless earbuds come with active noise cancellation to rival the AirPods Pro – and they’re considerably cheaper, making them a great alternative for anyone on a strict budget. 

With an understated design, the RZ-S500W look subtly stylish and come with a choice of five differently-sized silicone eartips that makes it easy to find a snug and comfortable fit. They’re also suitable for working out, thanks to an IPX4 waterproof rating, though the lack of earfins means we’d be hesitant to take them out on a vigorous run in case they fell out. 

Sound quality isn’t quite on the same level as their rivals, with an overly bassy presentation – bass heads however, will probably love these earbuds.

They come with a USB-C charging case, which gives you 20 hours of juice, on top of the 6 hours contained within the buds themselves – that’s better than the Apple AirPods Pro, and more than enough to get you through a week’s worth of commuting.
