Sony Electronics Launches WF-C510 Active Wireless Earbuds

Sony Electronics announced the WF-C510 truly wireless earbuds, a new affordable option that reinforces Sony's range. The compact earbuds pack a powerful battery life and offer updated Bluetooth 5.3 with multipoint connectivity, Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE), and Spatial Audio support for binaural Dolby Atmos and 360 Spatial Sound when paired with Sony Bravia TVs and compatible sources. Interestingly, although the WF-C510 earbuds are not ANC, they offer an active Ambient Sound Mode to keep the user aware of the surroundings.

JLab has launched the JBuds Sport ANC 4 True Wireless Earbuds, an affordable design that shows what is possible to do with up-to-date technology and good selection of features for a target market. A Sweatproof IP66 design, built to withstand workouts of all types, the JBuds Sport ANC 4 earbuds are the latest addition to JLab's lineup of audio products for fitness and sports enthusiasts with superior playtime, Hybrid Active Noise Cancelation and JLab’s first ever Swipe + Touch controls.

With a fast pace of innovation in the true wireless stereo (TWS) space, most brands are scheduling product updates outside of a regular refresh cycle. As the consumer arm of GN Group, Jabra has the resources to follow through with this accelerated pace and quickly embrace features that are relevant for consumers. Having updated the firmware of its original Jabra Elite 8 Active and Elite 10 products early this year, the company now announced the next iteration Gen 2 of those very same products.

Short after being unveiled at IFA 2023 and launched in the market, at CES 2024 Jabra unveiled a suite of experience-enhancing updates to its latest Elite wireless earbuds, the Elite 8 Active and Elite 10. The updates introduce new noise suppression algorithms for more powerful ANC, clearer calls and better awareness of the user's surroundings with HearThrough to provide a more natural audio experience. Bluetooth LE Audio maybe in a future update.

Part of xMEMS Labs announcements at CES 2023, the innovative MEMS speaker company introduced Skyline, the world’s first discrete solid-state MEMS DynamicVent, a specific design with a valve that opens or closes by sensor fusion input from the earbud DSP and enables the benefits of both an open-fit (spatially aware) and closed-fit (occluded) earbud design. This enables smart TWS earbuds and hearing aids that create best-of-both-worlds user experiences in the same product.

Apple announced its highly anticipated update to its best-selling AirPods Pro true wireless earbuds. We don't know which model Apple sells the most, if the updated "loose-fit" standard AirPods, or the in-ear and more expensive noise cancelling AirPods Pro. The AirPods third-generation were launched in October 2021. Nearly a year after that, the flagship AirPods Pro were announced, delivering 2x better Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), longer battery life, better drivers and a new improved charging case.
