Sony WF-C700N earbuds launched with ANC, IPX4 water resistance

Sony has launched a new pair of wireless earbuds called "WF-C700N" ahead of the rumored WF-1000XM5. It's the successor to 2021's Sony WF-C500 and brings active noise cancellation (ANC) among other upgrades. Let's learn more about the Sony WF-C700N, including its full specifications, availability, and expected price in Nepal.

Sony WF-C700N Overview:

Design

To come up with the design of these earbuds, Sony claims it has used ear shape data collected all the way since 1982. And the company is confident that the WF-C700N "perfectly matches the human with an ergonomic surface design for a more stable fit". Additionally, its housing is 37% lighter and 38% smaller than its predecessor. The earbuds weigh approximately 4.6 gm each, while the case weighs approximately 31 gm. Furthermore, the Sony WF-C700N is water-resistant to IPX4 too. Sony sells these earbuds in black, white, lavender, and sage green color options.

Audio

In terms of audio, Sony has included 5mm drivers here. There's also DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) support which restores details in compressed audio files for a richer listening experience. You can create a custom equalizer for the WF-C700N via the "Sony | Headphones Connect" app. As aforementioned, these earbuds support ANC too. And Sony has gone one step further by including adaptive ambient sound control, which automatically adjusts ambient sound levels based on where you are and what you're doing. Sony says WF-C700N has a more natural-sounding ambient mode too. Its onboard microphone with mesh structure is said to reduce wind noise for clearer phone calls as well.
