Sony Unveils £99 IER-M500 Wired Earbuds for Aspiring Musicians

Summary
£99 IER-M500 earbuds are Sony’s most premium wired buds currently on sale, aimed at aspiring musicians and performers rather than mainstream listeners.
Sony is pitching the model around stage use: a secure in-ear fit, added “fitting supporters,” noise-blocking polyurethane walls and a durable 1.6-meter cable with a 3.5mm jack.
Audio specs include a 5mm driver, a bass-tuned acoustic chamber, 10Hz-40kHz frequency response and 16-ohm impedance; color options include clear, black and red-blue.
The launch gives Sony a lower-cost entry in in-ear monitors—well below its pricier IER-M series—as wired earbuds regain attention and the company continues backing headphone-jack devices.
