Sony is making it even easier to enjoy music anywhere with the announcement of its new truly wireless earbuds – WF-C700N. The WF-C700N are ideal if you want to make the switch to truly wireless earbuds without compromising on comfort and stability, while enjoying immersive sound quality and noise cancelling features.
Comfort, quality and fits in your pocket
The WF-C700N have been designed with comfort and stability in mind, no matter the size of your ears. Sony has designed the WF-C700N by utilising extensive ear shape data collated since it introduced the world’s first in-ear headphones in 1982, as well as evaluation of the sensitivity of various types of ears. The WF-C700N earbuds combine a shape to perfectly match the human ear with an ergonomic surface design for a more stable fit, so you can listen for longer without needing a break.
The cylindrical charging case is small and easy to carry around in a pocket or bag so you can take the earbuds anywhere you go. Its case has a geometrically patterned texture for a stylish, luxurious look and feel.
The texture, quality and colours of WF-C700N are designed with your style and comfort in mind. With black, white, lavender and sage green to choose from, you can find the one that suits you best.
More music, less background noise
With the WF-C700N, it’s just you and the music. You can cancel out background noise with noise cancelling or use the Ambient Sound Mode to stay connected to your natural surroundings.
In Ambient Sound mode, the feedforward mics capture more of the ambient sound around you, so you can enjoy a natural listening experience while staying connected to your environment. You can personalise the settings within the Sony | Headphones Connect app or use the Focus on Voice setting to chat without removing your earbuds. You can step into a coffee shop and quickly order with ease, then just as quickly sit back, and enjoy your favourite entertainment distraction-free.
The WF-C700N also feature Adaptive Sound Control which adjusts ambient sound settings depending on where you are and what you are doing. It recognises locations that you frequently visit, such as your workplace, the gym or a favourite cafe, and switches the sound modes that suit the situation. With this, you can seamlessly move through your surroundings all while letting your favourite artists and entertainment play on.
Hear every beat in high quality
The WF-C700N deliver high quality sound thanks to DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine). Plus, with the help of Sony’s original 5mm driver unit, the WF-C700N packs a punch, producing powerful bass and stunningly clear vocals despite their small size, bringing out the best in whatever genre or entertainment you choose. You can also change your music to fit your taste with the EQ settings on the Sony | Headphones Connect app.
