Read our Sony WF-XB700 Extra Bass initially take.
It took a while, today we lastly have a new true cordless noise-canceling sports design from Sony: the WF-SP800N. Interestingly enough, I wrote at the end of my primarily favorable evaluation that I d like to see them more in the $160-$ 175 range. They were recently down to $127, but the present $148 rate is still $50 listed below list, and $20 listed below their usual street rate.
Its missing out on Sonys QN1e processor, but theres still a lot to like about it, consisting of very good noise, solid noise canceling and excellent call quality. Just make sure you get a tight seal from one of the consisted of ear pointers or else both the noise and sound canceling will be uninspired.
Water-resistant: Yes ( IP55 splash-proof).

Read our Sony WF-1000XM3 review.
Sarah Tew/CNET.
The WF-XB700 is in the companys Extra Bass line and lists for $130. Ive attempted them and actually liked their fit. Their sound quality does not measure up to that of the WF-1000XM3 or WF-SP800N (it lacks some clearness), but if you like bass, theyre good sounding earbuds. I thought they were a little expensive at $130. At $52 off, or $78– matching their all-time low– theyre a lot more enticing alternative.
Waterproof: Yes ( IPX4 splash-proof).
The WF-1000XM3 earbuds list for $230. They briefly dipped to $170 earlier this year, however at $178, theyre still the best sounding cordless earbuds in this price range and also feature active noise cancellation innovation to decrease ambient noise.
The only drawback is the WF-1000XM3 earbuds arent ranked as sweat-proof or water resistant headphones. That stated, Ive used them for light exercises with a little bit of a sweat at the fitness center without an issue. They utilize Bluetooth 5.0 with support for AAC, but not aptX.
Note that weve been expecting Sony to release the next-generation WF-1000XM4, but at this point, we may not see those before 2021..
Waterproof: No ( lacks IPX accreditation).
