Review on 🎧 Sony WF-XB700 Wireless Earbuds with Mic for Phone Calls - Extra Bass, Bluetooth, Black by Kawaguchi Burgess

A few months ago I wanted to switch from wired Sony Bluetooth headphones for working out to the new (not so new) trend of wireless headphones , so at the time I was looking for something relatively cheap just to see if I wanted them on my runs/workouts and stumbled upon the Haylou wireless headphones for around $22 at the time. Knowing these were cheap headphones, my expectations were extremely low. I was pleasantly surprised at how good they sounded, how comfortably they fit in my ears, and never fell out during exercise. The biggest issue I had was the CONSTANT disconnection from each earbud and delay, when this worked it worked great but I had more issues than issues. Fast forward a few weeks and my favorite tech brand (Sony) released some workout headphones, now they weren't the first but the previous models have been reviewed and weren't that cheap so I decided to wait. At $129 I was a little hesitant, but knowing that Sony is a "premium" brand I decided to take a chance and previous reviews of their flagship WF-1000XM3 headphones are in a league of their own seem, I felt that Sony has an advantage. the perfect engineering formula for their headphones now. (Remember that Sony is one of the world's foremost authorities on audio engineering.) The headphones come with standard packaging, earbuds, a charging case and USB-C cable, along with some instructions and different-sized earbuds that can be replaced with, if necessary the standard earplugs do not suit you. Connecting the earbuds to my Sony XPERIA XZ Premium smartphone wasn't difficult, as soon as you take them out of the case they try to connect immediately. Once I paired them, I put them in my ears and they were as comfortable as most headphones despite their size. Well that's probably one of the things you'll notice is that it's relatively larger in person than in the photos, at least for me, but they didn't make me feel uncomfortable in any way during the hours I had them in the tinnitus, whether I was walking/walking or I just use it for my commute to work. The sound quality was very good, especially with the extra bass, even with the volume turned up, the sound doesn't get oversaturated with bass or mids. Unfortunately, now you cannot use the Sony headphones app to adjust the mid/bass/treble/bass. all the jazz you normally play in your high-end headphones/earphones, but even by default it sounded very good (a little tweak could have made it clearer). Now they have NO noise cancellation. So if that's what you're looking for, this isn't it. Be prepared to hear most of your noisy surroundings while you're wearing them, but like most headphones, they're inherently passive noise-cancelling, so they'll drown out some quiet noises, but you'll hear everything. I had no issues with headphone disconnection or latency issues, so having consistently good sound was a huge relief. The battery endurance test of these earphones took place twice. The first time I had my headphones on MAX volume, I let them play while I slept. From my first test, they lasted the full 9 hours at max volume, allowing the battery to charge for 10 minutes, which got me just over an hour. Fully charged and tested for the second time, it lasted 9 hours and 15 minutes. Personally, I don't intend to wear headphones in my ears for more than 3 hours at a time. So if battery life is a concern for you, for most people it won't be an issue. The case gives you an extra 9 hours, so it probably took me an hour and 15 minutes or so to charge the case and the headphones, which are completely drained. Both earbuds have a light indicator to show they're charging, and one comes in a case. So in general I like these headphones for training and just for everyday life. Comfortable to wear, sound very good (could use some tweaking), but the lack of noise cancellation hurts a bit, especially for the price. use) SOUND QUALITY: 7.5 out of 10 (cannot adjust sound and no noise cancellation) (I give 8.5 to a perfectly quiet place) BATTERY LIFE: 9 out of 10 PRICE: 7 out of 10 (a little high for what you get or what you don't get)
