An extra 14 hours in the case brings your total up to 21.

Lowest price! The Sony WF-C700N earbuds are seriously good value, offering top-quality sound and ANC at a bargain price. They also look sleek and have a very comfortable fit. There's no aptX or LDAC support, but otherwise you can't go wrong with these earbuds.
