It's been a funny old CES 2025 for wireless headphones and earbuds. On the one hand, we've seen plenty of new launches from the world's annual consumer technology show, with brands such as Earfun, Soundpeats and JLab dropping multiple pairs in a bid to get their respective years off to a flying start. Even LG dropped a pair of noise-cancelling Xboom wireless earbuds in collaboration with will.i.am, and tech journalists everywhere scrabbled to get their best "Xboom-boom-pow" puns online the fastest.
What most of those unveilings have in common, as you might have sussed out already, is that they're all pretty much budget products. There's a huge desire for cheap and cheerful tech, even at shows as gargantuan as CES, and that's understandable given the current financial circumstances, in which many users want reputable quality from named brands without handing over a month's wages to get them. More strength to their arms, of course.
