Overview

The Sony WF-C700N Truly Wireless Earbuds bring active noise cancellation and a thoughtful feature set to a compact, comfortable form factor. Noise Sensor Technology uses feedforward microphones to analyze and counteract ambient sound, letting you focus on your music in noisy environments. When you need awareness of your surroundings, Ambient Sound mode pipes in external audio through those same microphones for a natural listening experience—useful for transit announcements, quick conversations, or staying alert while walking outdoors.

Designed for all-day use, the earbuds feature an ergonomic surface design that sits securely and comfortably, even in smaller ears. The cylindrical charging case is pocket-friendly and provides up to 15 hours of total battery life, with a quick-charge feature that gives you an hour of playback from a 10-minute charge. Multipoint Bluetooth connectivity lets you stay paired with two devices simultaneously, so switching between a work laptop and a phone happens automatically. Sony's DSEE technology upscales compressed streaming audio for improved clarity, and IPX4 water resistance means sweat and light rain won't interrupt your listening.
