About this deal

Where do you go when you’re a manufacturer with a great pair of budget wireless earbuds and an excellent premium pair? When the headset is being removed from the charging case, you will hear a notification sound indicating that the connection is established from both headset units (or from the headset unit removed from the charging case when only one headset unit is removed) at the same time. The former attenuated sound less effectively, meaning I had to push my volume up higher to ensure I was able to clearly hear what I was listening to. If all you’re looking for is a relatively inexpensive, straightforward pair of earbuds (and you don’t need strong noise cancellation), the C700Ns clear that bar without any problems.

On that front, the C700N have lived up to their own hype: bass is hefty and vocals convey emotion and refinement with confidence and ease.When streaming The Bangles' Eternal Flame, backing vocals arrive in each ear but never to the detriment of Susanna Hoffs' occasionally pensive, understated vocal. You'll have to set your sights much farther up the food chain if you want to beat this suite of features and sound quality. Besides 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. That didn’t detract too much from my overall experience but may prove a deal breaker for those wanting buds capable of lasting a couple of weeks without needing a top up. Both the WF-C700N and C500 are focused on utilitarian functionality over the pursuit of luxurious Rococo aesthetics, but that doesn't mean that either one is as sparsely furnished as a Puritan's wine cellar.

Follow these steps to firstly pair the headset with each device individually, then connect to both at once! However, if the air from this room is removed, the speaker will still function, but you won't hear any sound as there's no medium to transport the sound waves. When listening to Ariana Grande’s “Into You” at 40% volume with active noise cancellation engaged, I couldn’t hear conversations of co-workers at the office within two metres of me. They also grip well enough to make them suitable for runs and gym workouts, and you needn’t worry about getting them wet: they’re rated the status quo IPX4 against water and sweat. The overall sound balance is a noticeable upgrade from the C500 but doesn’t match the definition and dynamics of Sony’s higher-end earbuds.

With ANC on, Sony says the XM5 earphones can deliver 8 hours of playback time and that their case holds an additional 12 hours of battery life. If you’re looking for a discreet pair of wireless earbuds that don't look or feel bulky, the Sonys could be for you. Verdict: Sony's brilliant-sounding wireless earbuds are yet another win for the Japanese brand, combining confident sound with a great fit, easy usability and plenty of features. Sony's slightly more expensive wireless earbuds are genuinely attention-grabbing at this level, giving not only weight and texture to their output but a real feeling of power and drive, too. These have a couple of marks against them, such as disappointingly ineffective noise cancelation, and a fit that works for some folks, but not all.
