The buds are held in place magnetically and every time you go to put them back in their case they’re practically snatched out of your hands, such is the strength of the magnetic pull.īesides your traditional black and white finishes, Sony has added a couple more colourful options for the WF-C700N in the way of lavender and sage green. There’s no wireless charging here, but it’s not hugely surprising at this level. Rivals from the likes of Apple and JBL favour a slightly squarer case design, but this one is still easy to slip into a pocket. The WF-C700N come with a cylindrical charging case which features a USB-C socket for charging and a pairing button on the back plus an LED that indicates charging levels on the front. Smaller earbuds can sometimes be tricky to get into place, but the ever so subtly textured surface used here allows you to get a grip and manoeuvre the buds into place with minimal fuss.īattery life 7.5 hours (BT + ANC), 15 hours (including charging case)įinishes x4 (White, Black, Sage Green, Lavender) And, dare we say, they’re more comfortable than the more expensive WF-1000XM4. The net result is that they’re easy to live with whether you’re doing a five-kilometre run or five minute walk to the shops. They don’t dig in and instead just nestle in place, with the flexible silicone eartips finishing the job and providing an excellent seal. The Sonys slide in and twist into place in the lower portion of your outer ear.
We’re big fans of the comfort levels provided by WF-C700N. This could be partly explained by the fact they use Sony’s own 5mm driver in their design – by comparison, the WF-C500 use a 5.8mm driver while the WF-1000XM4 boast a larger 6mm unit. So small in fact, that they make the more expensive WF-1000XM4 look like a couple of boulders by comparison and they also appear smaller than their cheaper siblings, the WF-C500. If you’re looking for a discreet pair of wireless earbuds that don't look or feel bulky, the Sonys could be for you.
