Soundcore and Fender release new wireless headphone models

New wireless headphone models from Soundcore and Fender are entering the market with distinct feature sets.

Soundcore has introduced the Sport X20 ANC, which features an integrated AI live translator capable of supporting over 100 languages via the Soundcore app. These sports-oriented headphones include adjustable ear hooks, IP68 water and sweat resistance, and a battery life of up to 12 hours, extending to 48 hours with the charging case. They also utilize HearID technology to customize sound profiles and include six microphones for enhanced call clarity.

Fender has released the Mix wireless over-ear headphones, priced at $299.99. These headphones are noted for a smooth sound profile with balanced bass and include a USB wireless transmitter that supports lossless audio transmission, Auracast, and low-latency modes. While they offer user-replaceable parts, reviews indicate that their active noise cancellation is average compared to industry leaders and they lack LDAC support.
