Sony WI-C100
With a 25-hour battery, IPX4 splash resistance, and a lightweight 20g neckband, the WI-C100 offers reliable all-day wear without sacrificing portability. Sony’s DSEE restoration and the Headphones Connect app add audio refinement typically absent at this budget-friendly price point. Best suited for budget-minded listeners and casual fitness use who don't need strong call performance.
