The portable charging case help both in protecting the earbuds and also charges the buds while travelling, the case lets one enjoy 18 hours of music playback.
How do we use Sony WF-XB700?
Here, I will share with you how do we use the Sony WF- XB700. Well, the buds are well built and fit into the ear nicely. But one has to adjust the buds nicely so that they fit well into the ear and one can start using.
The buttons on the product apart from letting us play, pause, stop or skip through the tracks, also helps to adjust the volume. One can also use these buttons to use the smartphone’s voice assistant and make and receive calls hands-free.
A simple button press of the Sony WF-XB700 would connect the users to their smartphones’ voice assistant to get directions to play music or get connected to their contacts. The left bud button increases the volume, and by pressing and holding it, the volume can be decreased.
As for the right bud button, a single press will stop or resumes the audio. While the double click will move forward and take users to next track. With a triple-click, one can move back to the previous track.
The built-in microphone helps the conversation to flow freely. Thus, an easy hands-free calling without taking out the smartphone from one’s pocket. This is how do we use the Sony WF-XB700 to enjoy great music and effortless handsfree functions.
Sony WF-XB700 specifications and features
The Sony earbuds come loaded with great features. So, here I will share the Sony WF-XB700 specifications and features in details.
- Long Battery Life – The earbuds are available in two distinct colours that are black and blue. The product has a long battery life and quick charging ability, which means, one can enjoy up to 18 hours of listening because of the handy charging case. But if the power drains off, then 10 minutes of quick charging gives up to 60 minutes of music playback. In general, without this case, the Sony WF-XB700 will deliver 9 hours of battery life.
- Great Design for Comfort – The Sony WF-XB700 is ergonomically designed to make contact with three different points of the ear for a secure, comfortable fit. The ergonomic design is for a secure and comfortable fit, and easy hands-free calling and voice assistant gives the product an edge against all competitors.
- Sweat Resistant – The product has an IPX4 water resistance rating that means one can keep on using the earphone as long as they want as splashes and sweat won’t stop the working of the earbuds. One can find the perfect fit for their ears with 4 sizes of hybrid silicon rubber earbuds to maximise sound quality and minimum outside noise.
- Superb Sound Quality – Among the various Sony WF-XB700 specifications and features, the Extra Bass is one of the most favorite features. As everyone’s favourite bass lines never sounded so good, the feature would enhance those lines with power and punchy low-end sound. The 12 mm driver unit produces great bass.
- Great Connectivity – It enhances one’s daily life with its specific features like EXTRA BASS for deep, punchy sound, and also a wireless design with Bluetooth wireless technology. The product is compliant with Bluetooth 5.0 and also supports the AAC codec. The Bluetooth frequency response of the product is of 20Hz to 20, 000 Hz (sampling frequency: 44.1kHz).
Please Note – The Sony WF-XB 700 specifications and features do not include DSEE HX, and passive operation, and NFC.
Things that could have been better – The capsule-shaped charging case does not possess a great build quality. It is about 46gm (It can be charged using a Type-C cable though). The buds are not touch-enabled either and seem a little heavy and bulky though the company claims them to be just 8 gm.
The comfort aspect is good but not excellent. One has to be a little patient to get used to Sony WF-XB700. If the earbuds are not properly locked inside the ears, they may pop out. No noise cancellation feature is present but nevertheless the silicon buds provide good passive noise isolation.
The sound quality is good if not great even at outdoors and overall conditions. Several genres of tracks sound decent but heavy instrumental tracks are little lag in this aspect. Similarly, the call quality at outdoors could have been little improved. The button function also could have been simpler.
Sony WF-XB700 price
Well, the Sony earbuds with such mind-boggling features are truly a takeaway product. The Sony WF-XB700 price is Rs 11,990, while on Amazon it costs Rs 9,990 The price has dropped (It varies)! For the latest info check below:
Checking all the features what I found is that the product is a good choice at a price of just Rs 10,000. The build and sound quality are overall pretty good in all environment. Most TWS earbuds lack sound quality and battery life even at Rs 20,000.
But the Sony WF-XB700 packs up with all features that too under a very affordable price, which makes it so special. In Amazon, it gets a 3.9 rating out of 5, I will also give this product a 4.2 rating. The product is available online, so if you want to enjoy good music and great features, get this product soon.
