Sony WF-SP700N & Sony WI-SP600N Review - Well, They All Can't Be Winners

2018-06-29
if you've been following the channel for a while now you know I absolutely love the Sony 1000 accent 2 headphones and in general I like Sony's headphone line up so much that I actually dedicated a whole video to it what you can and should watch right here at emotional fan of Sony's new XP 41 and XP 41 speakers but I feel Sony could have and should have done better with their new SP 600 n + SP 700 m sports wireless earbuds now they aren't all bad but these headphones have a few quirks which just make you think Sony rushed them out the door the reason I'm reviewing both of these headphones together is because they're basically the same product except the ones completely wireless while the other still has a wire connecting both of the earbuds but gives you the added benefit of the inline controller the sony WI SP 600 n retells for $150 while the completely wireless WF SP 700 n we tell us for $180 if you want to pick either these headphones up I'll have lengths or description below and if you use the links it really helps out the channel I suggest you check them out because Sony headphones routinely go on sale but I'm also going to link some better alternatives as well namely the J Brand X 3 and power beats 3 if you can't go wrong with either of those also check out the new merch shelf down below regarding what's in the box both of these headphones come with pretty much the same things they both come included with a micro USB cable for charging they both come with an extra pair of a larger infants and they both come with three additional pairs of ear tips of varying sizes but what struck me as weird is that the wired SP 600 n then it come included with a carrying pouch and there are no cable management clips either the reason I'm mentioning the lack of cable management clips on the SP 600 N is because wire itself is pretty long and heavy with most other wire to earbuds like this you can either taut the cable or clip it onto your shirt for a better cable management so it's not constantly bouncing around but the cable on these wired earbuds is pretty durable and it has a built-in inline controller the buttons themselves have good tactile feedback and they're very easy to tell apart and the controller also houses a microUSB port for charging and yes this micro USB port should have been USBC port instead okay now let's talk about what you're actually here to see the completely wireless SP 700 N and first let's adjust the current case it's nice lightweight and feels like SATA hand but it feels pretty cheap the lit feels a little flimsy and I want to be surprised if people accidentally snapped it off and on the back of the case or something like USB port for charging and again Sony this needs to be a USBC port come on but here's a problem with the case the LED indicator light only shines red when you plug it in and after a while the red LED turns off but it doesn't shine why tell me you know the case is fully charged and there also isn't a gauge telling you approximately how much of a charge the case itself has and Sony's app which I'll get into in a minute only tells you how much battery the earbuds have not the case and when you put the earbuds end over bhalil ette you know the current state of their battery level but there is no way of telling if the case is charged or dead now when it comes to actually placing the earbuds into the case the ear buds aren't magnetically online you have to watch them in which does feel a little unnatural regarding the earbuds themselves they each have a single button and is not these big circle things it's these little clear wedges that stick out the left one controls your anc settings and the right one controls your music playback so you can play or pause your music or skip a track but you can't adjust the volume so that's what are the benefits of having an inline controller like on the SP 600 n or the power beats 3 you have full control of you music playback while you work out while with fully wireless earbuds you only have partial control without having to make your voice assistant regarding fit these earphones go in really deep into your ear canal and they also form a very good seal which provide a lots of passive noise isolation both of these earphones will also feature active noise cancellation and ambient sound settings but even though I feel Sony currently has the best active noise cancellation on the market I don't really feel like it's really worth using on either of these earbuds the ANC does block out Sun sound but a lot of sound still manages to get in but the ambient sound feature is much more useful if you're someone who likes running or biking on the streets like I just said these earphones provide a lot of passive noise isolation but with ambient mode turn on the earbuds will pump in all the surrounding sounds and is like they're not even there so he can still be aware of your surroundings which is great for safety regarding tech specs both of these your phones are rocking an IP export certification and they're both using Bluetooth 4.1 the wired SP 600 n has very little E&C so if you're going to be watching any YouTube videos with them they're okay the SP 700 and on the other hand have a lot of latency the connection doesn't really stutter for me but these are strictly for listening to music now just keep in mind the left ear but is a master and the right ear but is a slave so if you're gonna be taking phone calls with these headphones you're only gonna hear sound come out of the left ear bud when it comes to battery life it's not fantastic the wired SP 600 and can hold the six hour charge while the truly wireless SP 700 n can hold a nine hour charge the earbuds themselves can hold a three hour charge and the case can charge the earbuds backup twice but neither of these two headphones have quick charging which I feel is a must these days and now let's talk about sound quality if you think the power beats three have a lot of bees then these have way more and depending on the US that's either a good thing or a bad thing the bass is very deep and the base is very punchy but unfortunately I feel Sonia all the focus on the base because the mids are very shallow and the highs of a returnee the high zone these your phones are constantly piercing yours so these your phones are on a pleasant to listen to so basically the music on these earphones is just constantly being drowned out by the bass but if you jump into so nice headphones app you can select from a few pre-made equalizer settings but no matter which one I use I found they all have way too much bass and the high still remain tinny personally I found mellow sounds the best but unfortunately you can't go in and adjust the EQ sense to your liking you're stuck with the pre-made settings also sony advertises google assess and integration on these earbuds but that feature isn't available yet so in the meantime you can summon your voices system by pressing and holding the button on the right ear but on the 700 N or president holding the play button on the SP 600 N and here is the microphone test now it's not complete garbage but long story short I still want to take phone calls with the your bites and keep in mind left your buddy is the master so you're only gonna hear stuff coming out of this your bud and the microphone is located here as well that this other clip is being recorded by the microphone on the Sony SP 700 n so you'd be the judge of that so on paper I feel the truly Wireless SP 700 and some pretty cool but execution-wise I think they fell short first off I feel these are bad sounding earphones with way too much bass the carrying case looks nice but needs some major improvements like a more durable lid fast charging and a battery gauge or a multicolored LED tell a you know its current battery status there's been 700 N or very light stay in place very well and the ambient sound feature is very useful but I wouldn't pay $180 for them the wider SP 600 and are a little better but it's kind of hard to recommend them over the jaybird x3 or the power beats 3 given that you can get either one of them for less and the Sony's if you know where to look if you made it this far I guess you enjoyed the video so hit that like button and get subscribed it helps out more than you realize support the channel by
