The WF-C700N is a TWS headset from Sony in the US$ 120 range and features adaptive NFC, where the headset system itself adjusts the intensity of the attenuation of ambient noise according to the place where the user is. The announcement was officially made by Sony, where several images of the in-ear Bluetooth True Wireless with active noise cancellation were shown, showing its compact body, something that should make the owners of the old WF-1000XM3 happy. The objective of the Japanese manufacturer of audio equipment was clearly to reach that public that wants something totally wireless with ANC for the day to day without having to spend a lot.
Sony’s new TWS with cheap ANC: WF-700N
Weighing just 31g, the new WF-C700N uses DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) technology, found in other Sony products, which helps improve the sound quality of audio files that have been “heavily” compressed and distorted. In addition, it has IXP4 certification, allowing the practice of exercises, an activity that does not seem to have problems when analyzing the way the headset fits anatomically.
Automatic interruption when someone speaks
One cool feature that is present on the WF-C700N is “Focus on Voice”, where the headset will automatically stop the music when someone tries to talk to you. This feature is useful for when an attendant comes to talk to you in a coffee shop or restaurant, in addition to making interruptions in the work office less bad.
Battery with good lasting capacity
According to Sony, the WF-700N is capable of lasting up to 7 hours and 30 minutes with active noise cancellation (ANC on). If the user does not want to use ANC, this time increases to ten hours of continuous playback. For calls, the headset can last up to 5 hours of uninterrupted conversations.
Connectivity and audio codecs
With Bluetooth 5.2, the new TWS WF-700N can connect to more than one device at the same time. However, in terms of Bluetooth audio codecs, the headset only supports SBC and AAC.
Launch and availability
The Sony WF-700N TWS Bluetooth in-ear headset will be released on April 5, 2023 for $119.99 in the US. It is not yet known when it will be launched in Brazil and what its value will be in the country.
