"If you're well-versed in the world of premium earbuds, you might take one look at Sony's clip-on earbuds and think it's taking notes from Bose's clip-on earbuds, as the two earbuds bear several similarities. For one, they have a similar form factor. Additionally, both companies designed the earbuds to deliver immersive sound while keeping listeners aware of their environments - they're the opposite of noise-canceling earbuds."
