he current generation of truly
wireless earphones (go.
macworld.com/twbd) are not
without their issues. Battery life
is often lackluster. Connectivity between
the earphones, their audio source and
even between each earbud, can still be
less than dependable. Then there’s the
cost: As with most new technologies, a
decent pair of truly wireless earphones
doesn’t come cheap. One would think
that the priority of headphone makers
would be to find ways to bring these
issues to ground.Sony Xperia Ear Duo true wireless

With the Xperia Ear Duo, Sony pursued style over substance. The result? Disappointment.
