The Sennheiser IE 300 are wired in-ear headphones designed for audio enthusiasts.

That said, the IE 300 aren’t exactly cheap — they still cost $300. They’re expected to be released in the US later this year.

Like the company’s other headphones, the M-200 ANC have interchangeable shields on the outside of each earcup, meaning you can customize the way they look. The M-200 ANC cost $500 and are available now.

Last fall, Jabra announced the Elite 85t, its first wireless earbuds with active noise-cancellation. (The company also announced and released a software update that brought active noise-cancellation to its previous wireless earbuds, the Elite 75t.)

According to the company, the A-3 are more than 20-percent smaller than most other wireless earbuds. They’ll cost $199 and will be available within the next few months.
