Love these ear buds. The sound is great and the case is ideal to keep them charged

Great when teamed with my Nvidia Shield. Beats cumbersome headphones hands down.

Fantastic sound quality, look great very smart, decent sound cancelling

I have been hovering on the AirPod pro Sony x3 and x4 for a massive chunk of money and have no doubt they will be better.. but I saw sense and have these a spin. First go, bass was just too much and treble needed boosting slightly. Tune in eq of Spotify app. But I think they are brilliant for the price. Would I have paid the original 100 ish price? Meh, but at the 55 ish these are spot on. Lovely solid feeling. Couldn’t believe how comfortable they are and they have a great solid clunk into charge dock, I have spent a lot on hifi and headphones over the years. KEF, B&W, now swimming in Sonos so not an audiophile, but like clear full sound. You won’t be disappointed.

I have had all sorts of soundcore and they are fine, including the liberty pro 2 and they are fine I think these are way better sound and build. Just a bit too much bass first go!

No app to manage, but it’s simple, common sense controls and less faff with an app. You know where the button is, and you know when you’ve pressed it, right play/pause/back/forward, hold for Siri. Left – press to vol up, hold to slowly lower the volume.. that’s it! the touch sense ones are doing all sorts when you take one out to speak to someone etc, over engineered.

Call quality is ok, it does pick up room echo but how can it not when they are set in your ear with no directed mic arm.

It took a bit of time to establish which ear buds were the right ones for me. Fits well. Easily connected to devices. Great sound quality. A number of videos from Sony on youtube explaining how to use it.

Great earbuds if you love bass then you will love these

Not as good as my ones of course, as mine were double the price 😀 but the wife loves them. It’s always a risk buying the Mrs tech, but she dropped her phone and smashed it when our son accidently caught her old earphone cables and yanked it from her hand.

She uses them to watch TV when I’m on the gaming rig, listens to her podcasts on her long walks, and to be honest, she uses hers more than I use mine, so all in all, for the price, a great buy.

Amazing sound. Bass is so deep I have to use an equaliser to remove some frequencies. It’s always better to have a wide range of frequencies and then cut them off than having earphones/speakers that can’t reproduce certain freqs. Build quality is okay. It’s plastic. That makes the pair lighter even if they are quite big. They are comfortable. Once you put them in your ears they won’t move and they will cancel noise passively. They look resistant, I dropped them by mistake a couple of times and they’re intact.

Things I liked:
– Best sound so far from earphones
– Wide range of frequencies
– Long battery life
– USB C
– Passive noise cancellation

Things I didn’t like:
– Sometimes you can hear a static noise when there’s no sound coming out
– Connection has interferences sometimes. Depending on the device. I’ve tested both on Android and Macbook Pro. It seems to work better on Android. I had to make some encoding adjustments on Macbook Pro to avoid interferences.
– When you’re running out of battery, it’s quite annoying that there’s a voice telling you that you’re running out of battery constantly. I mean, I hear it once and that should be enough, but you’ll be hearing that voice until you run out of battery.

If you a looking for noise cancelling quality and long lasting battery you cant go past these.

Unbelievable value for money, I’ve tried AirPod pros and the sound off these Sony’s is miles better.
10/10

Only downside is that they do not pick up on outgoing call,which was important for me,grandson lives them!

Fantastic sound and easy to use. This is my 4th attempt at buying a new pair of ear buds. I tried 3 other pairs which all went back due to connection issues, fit or sound quality. All of them ticked every box according to the specs but were disappointing on arrival. These Sony earbuds are in a totally different league. The sound quality is fantastic. They have both clear, rounded, powerful bass and good quality clear mid and treble tones. They are so good that I didn’t even improve them by tweeking with the graphic equaliser; they were perfect straight out of the box. The tips they came with fitted well, though I did try the next size down just to be sure. There is a good selection of 4 sizes of tips and they are comfortable without being flimsy. The whole thing feels well made and of good quality: the buds, the charging case and even the tips.
The instructions in the box aren’t that great but there is a QR code for online instructions that are much better and easy to navigate.
Connectivity seems to be good and setting them up was a doddle. I just took them out of the case, turned my Bluetooth on my phone on and it found them straight away.
The button is a physical button rather than a touch sensor. I much prefer this as I find the sensors hit and miss and difficult to control. The buttons on these buds are on the edge which means that you don’t press the bud further into your ear when you press the button, which is much better in terms of sound and comfort. The left and right buds do different things when listening to music: left controls volume, right skips tracks back and forward and pauses and starts music. On phone calls both buds have the same controls. Only the right bud can be used to access the voice assistant.
I have yet to try them for calls but will update this review if I do find any problems.
Overall, I think these are absolutely fantastic little ear buds. I will admit I do tend to like the sound produced by Sony products and these are certainly no exception. Well done Sony!

Great sound quality and loader than other makes I’ve tried

Gift for my husband, he is delighted with them, say’s the sound quality is superb. They were well packed and sent quickly too.

Good quality product for the price, has a selection ear rubbers to fit all ear sizes sound and base quality very good, definitely recommend

Having used the likes of bose and harmin karden I was extremely impressed with the high level of sound quality from these headphones the bass is amazing also love the fact that no outside noise can be heard when I’m listening to my music also there is no annoying sound pollution coming out of them annoying others.
These headphones are a solid fit and have no fear of them coming out whilst exercising

A birthday present.
He loved the case and brand. I can tell they are a hit as he works with them on and probably has them too loud because we have to tap him! Not sure about battery life bug definitely good noise cancelling!!

Brought for my husband. He cant hear me amen wearing them…perfec

Great sound with plenty of base. Selecting the right size buds creates a good fit, which offers great noise cancellation

Been out for a run and the connection was great, the buds did not budge, despite their size.

Button on left bud controls volume, one press to increase, press and hold to decrease.

One push of button right bud pauses sound, two pushes skips forwards to next track, three times moves back a track.

Slightly on the large size but comfortable.

Ok, only had the item a day but wow. So easy to connect and use. Comfortable to wear and actually feel secure which is reassuring.

Had these a few days and so far love them. Twisted a bit too much and hurt my ear, my fault. Reading the reviews some people said that they are too bass heavy. As a true metalhead I find the bass just right. Listening to Great White i can hear the high hats clearly and the bass seems controlled. The middle was tight and on time. I have been using a pair of Soundpeats for the past year and they have served me well. These are a perfect upgrade.

They are very comfy, don’t fall out easy, and have good sound quality

Had these extra bass Sony headphones for a week now. Great sound quality, strong bass and easy to use. Ideal for using with your phone. I’ve given this a 4 star as the ear buds don’t have a stable connection to TV or laptops. I would use them on these devices with no problem, then all of a sudden there’s no sound. Sometimes it would only be for a few seconds and other times… minutes. Good buy depending on what you’re using these ear buds for. If you’re listening to music in the gym or using this for sound on your phone, I would recommend. TV, laptops etc. I would not suggest these ear buds.

If you are looking for earbuds with high quality sound below 100, this earbud is i

Absolutely wonderful earbuds. They are very comfortable and stay nice and snug even after flailing around like an idiot in the gym. Sound is wonderful (I’m definitely not an audiophile though) bass is definitely boosted but not obnoxiously so. If you just wanna jam out in the gym (proper Terry Crews Euro Training style} then these are 100% what you want to get!

My son was pleased to give these a go as his wired version were getting sound scratchy as the wire disintegrated.

They charge easily, and fit well in his ears (he’s very touch sensitive so this is a big thing). The charge lasts too so there’s no mad panic that he won’t be able to listen to his music.

Connection is easy and trouble free too – the case is great and is secure. Sound is complete – rounded, deep and yet crystal clear. Music sounds as good as the spoken word – I was really impressed.

We really like these and are considering further purchases for other family members. Highly recommended.

The Sony WF-XB700 truly wireless Bluetooth headphones are really nice headphones. Over the years I have had quite a few Sony products and always been very impressed with the quality and performance of their products.
I generally don’t go for in ear headphones because for the most part I find them uncomfortable but after trying these out I was surprised just how comfortable they were. The left was really snug and I was hardly aware that it was there and the right was a fraction less comfortable but still was satisfying to wear, I guess that’s down to the shape of my ear canal.
When put to the stability test to see if they would stay in your ears while being active they were brilliant no movement no matter how much jumping around I did while head banging to sum metal.
A single charge should give 9 hours of battery life and an additional charge from the case. Charging is super easy, just drop the headphones into the case and a magnet perfectly aligns them for you. The case is charged by a USB-C cable that is supplied in the box.
The extra base is clearly evident in the audio, and I tested out quite a few different genres to get a feel for them. I think the sound quality is very good considering the cost and that the headphones are designed for active environments. Yes the audio is not the most expansive high fidelity you can get, but for that you need to paying 500 plus for over the ear headphones. I think for your average consumer these will be more than satisfying. Audiophiles will find issues no doubt.
Other noteworthy mentions are that pairing is simple, they have an IPX4 water rating so sweat or a small shower won’t destroy them. Tri-hold as Sony calls it ensures a secure comfortable and ergonomic fit. There are easy to operate buttons that control playback and access your smartphones voice assistant for hands free calls. So for me I really have enjoyed using these headphones and I would not hesitate to recommend them for the active user who likes a bit of base in their audio.

These arrived in a Sony branded lift top box with a ridged lift top box inside containing the charging case and earbuds in separate cut-out slots, the USB-C charging lead in the bottom along with different sized silicon earbud tips and the user manual, I would note that a much easier to navigate bespoke language PDF manual can be found on their website along with tips and help.

First impressions: these are large earbuds and in my opinion designed more with a sport orientated use in mind such as running or working out in the gym not having the more common touch controls and instead opting to use a small button on each earbud, the look of them is very nice and although they are large they do fit nicely into the ear and hold rock solid once in but are certainly not the lightest no doubt to accommodate the technology for the extra bass, the case is sloped to make it more of a display/presentation case and I like the subtle design change from the standard.

After unpacking them I put them into the case and used the supplied USB-C lead to put them on charge, I went onto the Sony website to get the manual and have a read through while they charged. After they had fully charged I connected them to my Android phone via Bluetooth which was a really simple straight forward process, these do not have a linked application and can’t connect or be adjusted by the Sony music center app which was a bit disappointing and also do not offer multi pairing, after they had connected it was time to try out a bit of music.

I found these fit really well in my ears and are a really rock solid with no chance of them falling out, they do not come with ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) which may be an issue for some but I think is more in line with their intended sports usage being more aware of your audio surroundings, I like the simple but effective push button controls and found them a lot easier to use and navigate than the touch sensitive type, the right earbud is used with a single press on the button for play and pause, double tap for next track, triple tap for previous track and hold the button to activate the voice assist on your device, the left earbud controls volume up with single presses and hold for volume down with answering a call being a single press on either earbud button, I found the call quality very good both ends.

The sound delivery quality I found really good with the emphasis on bass really delivering on tracks with good solid bass but still being able to play a lighter tone of music crisp and clear with almost zero lag, these have 18 hours of charge time with 9 hours in the earbuds and 9 hours recharge time in the charging case, I found the Bluetooth connectivity distance very good being able to go at least 20 meters from my phone without any sound drop off.

Overall I do really like them, in my opinion these are targeted at a sporting user with a good solid fit, IPX4 rating so splash and sweat resistant, the sound quality is really good and they certainly deliver the extra bass, I would have liked to have been able to make slight adjustments in the Sony music app which isn’t supported so it would be nice if they updated to support them on the app in the future, the case is nice along with the push button control which is simple and easy to navigate.

In a market flooded with Bluetooth and wireless headphones it’ hard to stand out from the crowd but Sony has a winner with these. They look great. I was concerned on the size of them when I took them out of the case however, I was pleasantly surprised how easy they were to fit into my ears. They are very comfortable in your ears and light weight. They look good as well and I prefer them to the air pod system where you seem to have a stalk poking out the bottom of your ear.

In the box you get a charging case. This is USB-C hurrah! It annoys me when manufactures still use micro USB because I always get it upside down. USB-C cables fit in either way and they support fast charging too. A red LED light lets you know they are charging, Once the case has charged then you can place the buds back in and they will charge from the case battery. Now it mentions 18 hours battery life, this would be the maximum you could get under optimum conditions but you will have no problem getting 10 hours or more and because they charge up quick just place them back in the case when you are done and they will be ready to go again. 10 minutes of charge gives you about an hour of usage — great when you are in a rush!

Pairing was easy, I paired with an iPhone 11 and it all went seamless. There are buttons on the buds that lets you initialise your smart assistant like Siri and google, answer calls and skip tracks. I tried it with one call and the microphone worked well however it picked up some background noise as well. These are splash and sweat proof , rated IPX4 so don’t throw them in the pool but day to day they will be rugged enough to withstand the sweatiest of work outs.

OK so now the main thing — sound. All I can say is WOW you will not be disappointed at all. They are crisp and clear and the bass is amazing! There is no connect app that works with these so you will have to use the built in EQ on your device such as phone settings.

To wrap this up, they sound great, they look great, they are easy to pair to your phone or device. If you dismiss the fact there is no connect app which would let you EQ pre-sets or the mic on the hands free being a bit meh! Then you have got yourself a great set of wireless ear buds.
