Sony WF-SP700N wireless headphones review

Extremely comfortable ; Clear sound with potent bass response ; Sweat-proof

Battery 40 percent less than competition ; Poor noise-canceling

The WF-SP700N are comfortable, well-functioning fully wireless in-ears, but short battery life and an oversized design keeps them off our list.

The best truly wireless earbuds to buy in 2018

Truly wireless earbuds are exactly what their name promises: they offer a level of convenience, lightweight comfort, and flexibility that traditional Bluetooth earbuds and headphones can't match. But which set is right for you? There are two clear...

Effortless pairing ; Great sound for what they are ; Excellent carrying case and battery life

Won’t fit all ears well ; Open design lets in all outside noise ; Ridiculed design

Sony WF-SP700N

Sony's WF-SP700N true wireless earphones are a rare misstep from a company that typically has much higher standards.

Secure in-ear fit. Solid noise cancellation for the price.

Poor audio performance. Short battery life. Low IP rating for gym-focused earphones.

Obviously, the fairly solid noise cancellation is rendered insignificant by the WF-SP700N's poor audio performance. With zero hyperbole, I can name 30 pairs of wireless—and some true wireless—in-ears that sound far better than this, and most of them...

Sony’s sporty wireless earbuds bring the bass but not battery life

For the bass heads

Powerful, rumbling bass that’s ideal for workout playlists ; Sturdy, secure fit ; IPX4 water and sweat resistant

Case is way too big ; Worst-in-class battery life ; Useless for watching videos ; Audio dropouts are still a thing

Mediocre battery life, a bad case, and other frustrations limit the appeal

Sony's latest truly wireless earphones are its best yet

The sporty WF-SP700N's battery life isn't so great, but it performs and fits well.

Fits comfortably and securely and sounds good for truly wireless headphones. Built-in noise cancelling helps muffle ambient sound. An included charging case delivers two additional charges.

Battery life is only OK at 3 hours. It's a little awkward to get the earbuds into their charging case. Some audio delay when using certain streaming video apps.

Despite some small downsides, the Sony WF-SP700N is one of the better truly wireless headphones currently available.

Sony WF-SP700N HEADPHONES

The Sony SP700N are average truly wireless in-ears for most use cases, with a unique earbud design. They're decently well built, stable enough for sports, and have a fairly well-balanced sound quality that packs a lot of bass, but won't as detailed...

Stable fit for sports. ; Compact and decently sturdy design.

High latency. ; Poor noise isolation.

I'd Love Sony's New Truly Wireless Earbuds If the Battery Didn't Suck

Despite many tries, no company has nailed truly wireless earbuds. Apple's AirPods come close, but the lack of sports-friendly features has always been a problem. That's why I was so excited to see Sony release a set of truly wireless earbuds that are...

Awesome fit and sound quality

Sony WF-SP700N review: true wireless noise canceling for sporty souls

Active noise canceling has been a bit of a revelation in headphone technology and 2018 feels like the year it went mainstream. Look at how many people you see on your daily commute wearing Bose Quiet Comforts or Sony WH-1000XM2's and M3s, for example....

Noise canceling is great ; Rock solid fit for sports ; IPX4 splash-proof ; Easy to connect via the app

Battery life ; Connectivity issues (in bulky clothing)

For active people who want a set of truly wireless earbuds with noise canceling, the Sony WF-SP700N headphones are an excellent choice. With a rock solid fit and good sound quality, plus impressive noise canceling, you won’t be disappointed. Just...

Sony WF-SP700N True Wireless Noise-Cancelling Earphones review

Sony's second-gen true wireless earphones make improvements, but not enough

Comfortable fit ; Sweat-resistant ; More bass...

Clarity could be better ; Poor noise-cancellation ; ...too much bass

Sony’s WF-SP700N are a middling pair of true wireless headphones. They’re lacking in clarity and in noise-cancellation prowess, but at least they’re comfortably to wear for extended periods and don’t fall out easily. While these are a decent sophomore...
