With the Sony WF-C700N, Sony is launching an earplug with noise canceling and good sound. This earplug is also competitively priced. Unfortunately, drum parts are a bit disappointing with this earbud.
High wearing comfort
The earbuds sit firmly in my ears. Normally earplugs with noise canceling are heavy, but that is not the case with this earplug. It feels light and therefore it does not feel like I have a large earbud in my ears.
Noise canceling closes well
I close myself off well from my surroundings thanks to noise cancelling. I adjust this in the Sony Headphones App. Through the app I can adjust the noise reduction at different levels. This way I decide how much ambient noise I want to hear. When I work in a busy office, I turn on noise canceling and I don't hear my colleagues. When I'm walking down the street, I like to hear my surroundings and I switch off the noise cancelling.
Clear sound
The sound quality of this earbud is impressive. Thanks to the deep bass, I enjoy EDM and other electronic music. Unfortunately, I find drum parts to be a bit flat. As a result, indie and rock music do not come into their own as much as possible. Fortunately, I can adjust settings in the Sony Headphones App, which allows me to make the drums sound more detailed and deeper.
Difficulty connecting
It was difficult for me to connect this earbud to my phone at first. The manual stated that it worked if I put the earplugs in my ears. Unfortunately this did not work. When I looked on the internet for a while, I saw another way in which it was possible to connect it. In the end, I quickly connected the earbuds to my smartphone or laptop.
All in all, I am satisfied with these Sony earbuds. I think the price-quality ratio is good thanks to the clear sound reproduction and the good noise cancelling. If you are looking for an earplug with noise canceling and detailed sound, this earplug is recommended. If you're an audiophile and value deep drums, I'd go for the Sony WF-1000XM4.
