Sony WF-SP700N Truly Wireless Noise-Cancelling Sports Headphones with EXTRA BASS and IPX4 Splash Proof - White

I was a little sceptical about these as some of the reviews gave me concern, so I will explain about that later.The box they came in was fairly heavy, but the headphones and charger are really light, it is the weight of the all paperwork that makes it feel heavy !For starters I am using these with my Sony XZ Premium, which has Bluetooth 5.0 whereas the headphones only have Bluetooth 4.1 , which I found strange as they were brought to the market well after my phone, I suspect Sony have done that so that they are compatible with older phones, and for all practical purposes the 'mis-match' will make absolutely no difference !Right, the first thing I did was charge them up fully, but this didn't take long as it was obvious they had some charge already in them, but I charged them in the charger box anyway.I then downloaded the Sony 'Headphones Connect' App from Google Play.I started to follow the instructions, and touched the NFC on the phone to the NFC symbol on the charger but when it tried to pair with the headphones it failed every time (it discovered them OK though), then I realised that I should have taken the headphones out of the case first, (it must turn the headphones 'off' when they are in the charger case - exactly the same as it does with my Sony Xperia Ear) as soon as I did that everything was up and running !Well the sound was good, and as a few people have said, a little 'tinny' but the TV was on and people were chatting to me, so I couldn't really concentrate at the time and I was a little disappointed at that point so I just put them away for the night.The next day I decided I was going to check them out properly, and the first thing to remember is to put them into your ears "one at a time" - don't take them both out of the case at once, as apparently if you do that only ONE earpiece will sync, which explained what happened to me the previous night and why I thought the sound and noise cancelling wasn't good - if I have been in a quiet environment, I would have took an earpiece out one at a time and then would have discovered there was nothing coming from one of them !I was very fortunate that the size of the 'bud' and the 'hook' were perfect for my ears, one less thing to do, but please be aware you MUST find the correct size of buds to block out the external noise first physically, otherwise the inbuilt noise cancelling will be ineffective if you don't do that, as sound from outside will 'leak' in to your ears and you will say "the noise cancelling doesn't work".Now for the awful 'tinny' sound - well that is Sony's default setting it appears (Just why do that Sony ? Default should be 'Off' really !), and if you go to the App (the logo is shown as a yellow circle with headphones in it and is called 'Headphones') open it up and got to "Equalizer', the default was "Bright" but for me is should have teen "tinny" it was awful, very harsh too. the next worse was "Treble Boost"... nearly as tinny.So PLEASE change them to anything but those two, even turning the equalizer off completely was better !To alter the equalizer just touch the word after "Equalizer :" whatever that might be and the display will drop down and you can move left or right to the other choices.There are 8 choices plus 'Off' in total so depending on your choice of song and personal preference you will find one that suits you - for me I personally preferred "Bass Boost", and even so I didn't think the bass was excessive, but please don't say the earphones are tinny until you have played with the Equaliser !In the "Ambient Sound Control" there are 3 settings : Noise Cancelling, Ambient Sound - Voice Mode and Ambient Sound - Normal Mode.There are a couple of other setting in the A[[ but those are the most important two.Of course there are some settings you can change from the earpieces themselves, but curiously NOT volume, that has to be done from your phone or tablet and I prefer to do it via the app or the volume toggle on the phone anyway really.They are SO comfortable to wear, you literally don't know you have them it, but you really must find the right combination of actual 'ear bud' and 'hook' to get the best out of them, yes, it takes a little experimenting, but you will end up with a good result, rather than complaining !Well I could have done a more thorough review, but I just wanted to get the main problems people seem to be having sorted, and hope I have helped a few people in doing that !I am VERY happy with mine and I can wander round the house up to about 25 feet from the phone with no problem, and with no 'dropout' either, but of course this might not be the case for everyone depending on the phone they have.I travel a lot on public transport and the constant background chattering around drives me mad, and without noise cancelling, listening to music is infuriating, and of course you MUST NOT just turn the volume up as that can/will damage your eardrums and these are the perfect solution now, so well worth the money.I personally NEVER walk round the town etc with earphones in it is just too dangerous, but I know a lot of people do, and the two "Ambient Sound" modes should be used for that, if you insist on walking round like that.

Update 23 Dec 19:Really want to like these earbuds but the max 1.5 hour battery life is ridiculous. DO NOT BUY. YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED.=========Like:WirelessGood sound qualityNoise cancellation worksFit in my ears well (a few attachments came with them to support that)Easy to useThe case charges the ear pods in between useDislike:Easy to use, but Sony over completes things by trying to get you to use their app. Balls to that. Set the earphones up then just use with your favourite music app.The battery life is terrible. I get 1h 45m use out a charge. The use case for these is commuter only. Listen on the bus/train, charge in the case through the day, listen on commute home. Don’t expect to use these all day.

I was really worried before giving my order for those. I read all comments all over the internet, watched all reviews and videos and I actually thought to buy another brand. However after some technical comparisons I ordered.First of all, sound quality is a-ma-zing. I couldn't believe how those tiny earbuds give such powerful base and loud sound. It blocks out the noise as it supposed to do. Do not expect the best noise cancelling experience you had from headphones but come on now, those are tiny earbuds and still doing a great job. I also have Sony WH-1000X headphones but I had almost similar sound quality.I have tried it in a very crowded gym and it totally blocks the noise out. There are plenty EQ options in Headphones app and I must say they are really good.I have tried before firmware update and never had cut out issues. I am using it with Sony XZ Premium and I have changed my setting on my phone from best connection to best sound and still they didn't drop out. After the firmware update it got better. I mostly keep the phone on best effort connection so I don't have any issues.They fit quite well but I still haven't tried the other buds to find the best fit for my ear but still I have never dropped them. I ran quite fast and did some intense workouts. I felt they slightly got loose when I ran very fast but I think that's because I couldn't find the best fitting bud for my ears yet.I love skipping tracks when I am listening to music and I am used to controls on the headset from my WH-1000X. I was a bit upset as they don't have controls on the buds. Every time when I need to skip track I need to do it on my phone. There are buttons on each bud I believe Sony could make it happen to change tracks my multiple clicks.The other con is case. The lid of the case feels like it will break with a simple nudge. It feels cheap. I would expect Sony to do a much sturdy and small case for those lovely buds.The color yellow looks great but pink one was £99 and I paid £142 just because I wanted yellow. Amazon's pricing really doesn't make sense to me.Also I tried to use google assistant after firmware update. (You can change the function of the left earbud button between ambiance sound and assistant.) Mic picks up the voice quite well however the assistant's voice is very low and I couldn't find a way to increase the volume of it. When playing music it is very loud but assistant voice is really hard to hear.I bought those only use at the gym during my workouts and they do the job more than they supposed to do. They are great with great sound quality and bass. I didn't have any battery problems cause my workouts mostly take 2 hours but who would use a sports earbud to listen to music every day anyway. Headphones are much better options for that.If you know Sony quality and want an earbud for workouts don't hesitate like I did for 2 weeks. Just buy these extra bass sports buds.Edit: finding the right bud is the key. Luckily there are 4 in the box. If you use small buds, noise cancellation doesn't work and they fall off. I tried them all and biggest one (default one on the earphones) are great. If you having problems try changing your buds.Also right button changes the track, just found out. One click start stop, two clicks next track, three clicks previous track.2nd Edit: I had to return those earbuds as after 1 month the battery life went down and it didn't even last for an hour. Thanks to amazon for their help and make it easy to return. For the first time in my life Sony disappointed me and I will change it to Bose.

Junk. Nothing like my c 500. These are junk. I'm trying to get a refund now. Prolly screwed.

Diese Kopfhörer sind nun seit einem Jahr im Gebrauch und ich finde sie nach wie vor super. Akkuleistung ist konstant, die Dose mit dem Drehdeckel ist super praktisch und stabil, die Hörer sitzen sehr angenehm und sicher - und: Sound und die Abdichtung gegen Geräusche von außen (im entsprechenden Modus) sind klasse. Habe sie damals als warehouse deal gekauft zu einem tollen Preis. Erfreue mich immer wieder daran und kann sie nur empfehlen. Hatte damals auch harman kardon getestet im Vergleich - die deutlich teurer und schlechter im Sound waren.

Buenos auriculares. Compré unos para mí y otros para mí padre poco después y la verdad que ambos queramos encantado aunque sí es cierto que he tenido que descambiar un par de veces los míos y una los de mi padre porque a los pocos meses de uso dejaba de escucharse por un auricular, pero el departamento de atención al cliente gestionó estupendamente el cambio y los que tengo ahora van como la seda y se escuchan genial.Son muy cómodos para correr, la batería tiene muy buena durabilidad y se cargan rápido.

Écouteur très confortable, reste bien en place quand on faire du sport (course à pied ou vélo même sport en salle).Le son est très bon et l'autonomie est correct largement suffisamment pour mon cas. Je porte quand je travail (bureautique) et quand je fais du sport.Au téléphone ca marche bien pour mon cas, l'interlocuteur m'entends bien sans aucun problème.Pour Noise Cancelling, c'est efficace certe pas le meilleur du monde mais reste unique dans catégorie écouteur sans fils.

Le restituirò! Non cambia nulla tra modalità "ambient" e "noise canceling". Qualsiasi rumore esterno è ben udibile. Anche mentre ascolto musica.
