Though the noise-cancelling capabilities are impressive, the omission of aptX support but inclusion of AAC support is curious.

Ever since Apple launched the AirPods back in 2016, manufacturers have been releasing competitors left, right and centre. This time around, we're reviewing the Sony WF-SP700N, which is a pair of truly wireless earphones aimed at fitness enthusiasts.

Thunderous bass; Very comfortable; Impressive clarity and detail; Splash-proof

Competitors offer better battery life; Repressed mids; Flimsy case; No aptX support

The Sony WF-SP700N are actually a really impressive pair of truly wireless earbuds. These are perhaps the best model that we have tried so far. The only real downside here is the battery life.

Have tested these for 2 weeks now and like them sharply got them when I bought the new Sony xperia xz2 handset. What distinguishes these in-ears with others is that they have very much bass that I also like, so if you like a lot of bass buy these!

As noted in our recent review of the Xperia Ear Duo, it’s difficult to think of any company - aside from maybe Jabra - that’s playing as deeply into the fast-growing true wireless earbuds space as Sony is. Between the experimental Ear Duo and last year’s WF-1000X, it’s clear that Sony are looking to cater to more than just that core customer looking to make the jump to true wireless. Thus far, Sony’s approach hasn’t been about offering one-size fits all true wireless products but instead opted for more-specialized fare.

The Sony WF-SP700N sports earbuds take the strengths of last year’s WF-1000X and mold them to a very different cause.

Noise-cancelling; Solid durability;

Battery life lags compared to competition; First-gen connectivity dropouts;

Summertime is no time for over-ear headphones (as the sweat smears on my QC-35 earpads will attest). So when Sony asked me to review its new truly wireless WF-SP700N earbuds, the timing was perfect.

They fit well and sound great, but the Sony WF-SP700N fall short on battery life, and that's a deal breaker.

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

Battery 40 percent less than competition; Poor noise-canceling

Water resistant, truly wireless earbuds with noise cancelling

Awesome fit and sound quality

Awful battery life

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 not only tight-fitting and water resistant, they...
