The Philips T5506 True Wireless Headphones with Noise Canceling Pro (ANC PRO) and up to 32hrs Playtime with Wireless Charging Case is a great choice for those looking for a middle-of-the-road price for name brand noise canceling earbuds.

The battery life is impressive, with up to 8 hours of playtime (7 hours with ANC) and an additional 24 hours from the portable charging case, which can be charged wirelessly or via USB-C. The earbuds are water-resistant and tested to meet an IPX5 rating, making them suitable for outdoor activities or workouts. The earbuds have instant pairing and are ready to pair the moment you open the charging case. The controls on the earbuds make it easy to pause music, take calls, and wake your phone assistant. The soft silicone interchangeable ear-tip covers provide real, lasting comfort for extended playlists and long commutes. The Philips Headphones App lets you adjust levels yourself or choose from preset sound styles, and you can also use the app to switch between noise-cancellation modes or control the Voice Enhanced Mode.
