Sony's revolutionary Xperia Ear Duo earbuds coming to the US on May 25, pre-orders open

It's been more than a year since Sony showcased its Xperia Ear Open Style Concept, but it will take another month until the revolutionary earbuds will make their debut on the market. The result of the beta test under Sony's Future Lab project, the Xperia Ear Duo will officially be introduced in the United States on May 25.

Pre-orders for the Xperia Ear Duo buds are now open on Amazon and customers can buy a pair, black or gold, for $280. Although they are meant to compete with Apple's AirPods, Sony's earbuds are much more expensive.

Unlike most of the other earphones available on the market, Sony's Xperia Ear Duo have been specially designed to allow users to listen to music and their surroundings at the same time. Apparently, the earphones can easily adjust the volume depending on the ambient noise levels. Moreover, Sony's earbuds allow users to skip tracks and answer calls using head gestures.

It's worth mentioning that the Sony Xperia Ear Duo are fully compatible with Android and iOS devices, as well as Google Assistant and Siri. They promise to offer 4 hours of playback with 3 full recharges in the included charging case (7 minutes of charging allow for 1 hour of use).
