Review on Sony WF-SP700N/W True Wireless Splash-Proof Noise-Cancelling Earbuds With Built-In Microphone (White) by Joy Berry

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great headphones for what you pay

Two things that I felt were very useful from the start when I received these headphones: 1) Another review mentioned that these headphones are quite laggy are. It's very accurate. These headphones are not suitable for watching the video, the delay is very noticeable. 2) There are two sound quality modes, "Stable Connection Priority" and "Sound Quality Priority". In my experience the standard has been the former and everything sounds like an AM radio. I switched immediately to prioritize audio quality and the music listening experience is MUCH better. It's pretty dramatic. So don't panic if you don't like the sound on your headphones at first; Most likely you are in stable connection mode. The sound quality mode is very good. I only bought these headphones for working out and they did their job very well. I did notice that my ears have different shapes so the left ear doesn't fit quite as well as the right, but the adjustable ear tips and cap pieces made it easy to find a shape that would fit me in either ear. . They hold up very well. However, the earbuds' external component is a bit larger than I thought it would be, even after reading another review about their size. I didn't find them prohibitively large and they are still very light. To be honest, the noise cancellation is a bit over the top. Since the earbuds are in-ear, in my experience turning off the noise-cancelling is better than the actual noise-cancelling and saves battery life. What I didn't expect was the Ambient Sound Mode, which actually amplifies ambient noise. With these headphones, this is more important than noise-cancelling as they will muffle sound anyway. Turning on Ambient Sound allows me to talk to someone with these headphones, while the noise-cancelling even when turned off makes it almost impossible. It's great to put earbuds in a pocket, but for true wireless earbuds under $150 that offer good sound quality, ambient noise mode, and stay in my ear very well, I have no complaints about these earbuds. These headphones allow me to sweat and beat in comfort and they do an excellent job.

Pros
  • Worth the money
