For the sports buff who wants EXTRA BASS & noise-cancelling

: Secure fit for working out; IP55 water-resistant rating; up to 18 hours of battery life (earbuds + charging case with noise-cancellation); lightweight and EXTRA BASS

: 360 Reality Audio only supports certain apps; it is also pricey and Siri is not found in the Headphones Connect app

There’s an enjoyable quality here in terms of sound signature, especially when recognizing what these earbuds are made for. 360 Reality Audio is a must when purchasing any pair of Sony headphones, and I recommend trying it out if you haven’t.

The Sony WF-SP800N are a very good pair of premium sports-oriented truly wireless headphones. They’re well-built, quite comfortable, la...

It’s great to see Sony has decided to bring its true wireless offerings to a broader audience. Its XB700 gives you a nice taste of earbuds with some omissions which you may or may not even care for.

Sony’s new mid-range model offers a lot of high-end features at an affordable price. The WF-SP800N are designed to withstand your sweaty workouts with the company’s powerful Adaptive Sound Control on top of great sound quality, reliable touch controls and customizable EQ.

Price; Deep punchy bass; Powerful ANC; 360 Reality Audio compatibility; Loads of premium features

Awkward fit; On-board volume controls requires sacrifice; No wireless charging

These sporty in-ears offer a lot of Sony's smart ambient sound control and the noise-cancellation tech is the real star. Battery life is only average though, which is surprising given the size of the case. Overall these 'buds sound great and offer plenty of customisation.

Good noise-cancellation tech; Great ambient sound system; App offers lots of customisation; Great bass and sound quality; IP55 dust/water resistant

Case is really chunky; Headphones seem larger than they need to be; Controls won't cover all your needs

The WF-SP800N don’t have great battery life or discreet good looks, but their vigorous, subtle and dynamic sound is a fine counter-punch

Vibrant; buoyant sound; Good noise-cancelling; Comfortable fit

Slightly coarse sound; Average battery life

So you got the WF-1000XM3s, the XB700s, & now the SP800Ns from Sony. This is their latest product that offers a 3rd option within their earbud line. The 1000XM3 are the top-tier w/ noise canceling & other premium features.

I am a fan of Sony headphones, so I was very excited to check out the WF-SP800N truly wireless earbuds. How did these fare after a few weeks of use?

We had reviewed the Sony WF-XB700 — the more affordable option from Sony — and were pleased as a punch with the overall performance of the earbuds. They lived up to the expectations and performance keeping in tune with their price point.
