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. 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.
