  "account": "In a recent guide to the best wireless earbuds in Australia, TechRadar's audio expert has compiled a list of five affordable options, priced from AU$70 to AU$349, catering to various music styles. Two of the recommended pairs - Technics and Bose - are currently on sale at Amazon, further enhancing their appeal.\n\nThe first entry on the list is the Air Pro 3, originally priced at AU$129.07, now available for AU$69.99 after a 46% discount. These earbuds offer a comfortable fit, decent active noise cancellation (ANC), and a punchy, engaging sound. With an impressive battery life that outperforms other options on the list, and multipoint pairing, they provide excellent value for money at just AU$70.\n\nNext up is the Nothing Ear (3a), originally priced at AU$179, now discounted to AU$122.82. As Nothing's budget-focused earbuds and successor to the popular Nothing (a), these earbuds feature slightly tweaked sound quality, a more curved case, and static spatial audio. Comfortable to wear and delivering excellent ANC for the price, the main drawback is a call-recording feature that raises concerns about privacy. The Nothing Ear (a) is also currently discounted to AU$99.46.\n\nMoving on to the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, these earbuds, priced at AU$198 (down from AU$289.95), offer very good noise cancellation, up to 8.5 hours of battery life, customizable tap control, and a comfortable fit. While they lack some higher-res audio codecs and have a slightly bulky case, Bose's earbuds excel in terms of sound quality and comfort.\n\nThe Tour Pro 3, originally priced at AU$399.95, is now available for AU$299.95 after a 25% discount. These feature-packed earbuds boast a touchscreen on the case, which can also function as a Bluetooth transmitter, brilliant head-tracked spatial audio, and a competitive 55 hours of battery life when recharged with the included case. The sound quality is vibrant and detailed, with ANC that, while not class-leading, is still commendable.\n\nFinally, the pièce de résistance of the list is the Technics EAH-AZ100. While these earbuds are not cheap, they are currently priced at AU$299.95, just a hair above their all-time low of AU$344.99. Praised for their exceptional sound quality, effective ANC, comfortable wear, and impressive features like triple device multipoint connectivity, these Technics earbuds are an outstanding buy for audiophiles seeking top-tier performance.",
  "summary": "Wireless earbuds come in a huge variety of shapes and styles, with prices ranging greatly. These 5 pairs cater to all budgets and all types of listener, and all promise a solid audio upgrade.",
