I just literally bought WF-C700N today and I can say that the noise cancellation feature is totally fine. It blocks almost all the sounds. I tried it outside and it works well as an overear/headphones.

The downside I would say is the mic, it sounds so muffled if there are too many background noise. So if you need an earbuds for calls/meetings, I dont recommend WF-C700N.

It's lightweight. I dont have much to say about the battery since I just got it. All I can say is that the noise cancelling feature is great. My phone is Iphone 13 and it connects fine

Unlike most audiophiles, I'm uncultured and enjoy "eXcEssiVe baSs" so I chose the C700N's.

Hey guys, I just got the WF-C700N and the audio you hear on this video is from the default audio you get out of the box. When you customise them through the app it’s a completely different story. I enjoy the audio quality on these

[AquarianNomadic]

I grind and paint steel in a busy shop in these.
They work amazing and the price is right.
9 hours a day and they keep going.
The ANC is great.

Comfort, design and voice quality by comparison other brand models my decision is LinkBuds S. Have tested under driving bike, running and rainy conditions without any trouble. Very happy. Thank you Sony.

[hellheaven]

Thank you for this review! its rare to find a good video that demonstrates the actual quality fo the buds

[nikolaandovski]

I got the c700n in may last year and the ANC is surprisingly good for me, i was on a noisy bus with the radio loud and i could barely hear anything

[robertnoblitt]

Thanks for your great reviews! I'm happy with the XM4 so I'm not considering the other models. By the way my XM4 earbuds were much improved by using these tips: Final Audio Type E, which gave me a better seal, and better sound and noise cancelling, compared to the stock tips.

[mickeyandsnowy]

got the c700n from flipkart today, sound quality is great, anc is fine (cancels out a/c noise), controls are fine too. only thing is i think its used because on the sony app the history there are some software updates from a year ago

[PathologicalProblemSolver]

Ferrari hat for the XM4s and BMW shirt for the Linkbuds was a solid touch 😆

[christopherchen]

Just got the WFC700N this October 2024 and most likely, the firmware got updated so that not the sound quality plus the ANC are of good quality. It's definitely way superior than my old Jabra Elite 3, so it's probably a good replacement purchase.

For anyone who is trying to get the wf- mx4 if you get/ have some rubber tips, it definitely changed my opinion on getting it, with rubber tips having em on for a long period does not feel like a strain. cons: (in my opinion) i wish the volume was a notch louder and buds are pretty big for mine and i feel most ears lol, but pros: sound quality is top tier forsure better than my airpods gen 2 lol. Conclusion: i am a bass bud type of person, wouldnt say bass but a beautiful punch tho, so overall these earbuds hold a unique and elegant sound.

[JeEhaO]

I just wish that they would improve upon the original LinkBuds because I LOVE the openness since they are PERFECT to use for just background music, you can talk while listening to music with no problems at all. The only improvement that I feel is needed on LinkBuds is to get the bass speaker deeper in to you ear because the bass is greatly improved if you press the thing in to your ears. I do not care for noice canceling on earphones because it is kind of a dangerous feature in many situations and it distorts the sound that you pick up from surroundings. I have had my LinkBuds for over an year now and use them almost daily at work and they are still AMAZING.

I just got my C700ns today to test against my Linkbuds S and the anc seems identical to me, which is really good. The ambient mode is a bit better on the Linkbuds though.

[kartikey]

Hearing from the sample, I find 700 and Linkbuds similar and less bright compared to xm4 they are bright (day and night difference among them) so I got 700 for 50 USD while linkbuds were 110 usd in India so that's that and I think not shure I think you can tune 700 to perform similar to linkbuds (sound).

[pauledwards]

What you say maybe true but the important thing about these buds is that they are so incredibly cheap! Even brand new in UK they are under £100 GB! That's incredible for brand new earphones and pretty soon they'll probably have multi-point Bluetooth as well making them very good value for money and I think the sound is very good too with wide soundstage and even surprisingly deep bass depending on how equaliser is set. Very good value for money. And they comfortable to wear as well and don't hurt my ears.

[DJV]

Solid comparisons. Just got the C700's today and still deciding if I will keep them. Per your comparisons, XM4 was obvious winner, then the C700 slightly edged the Linkbuds S in music tests. Mic tests put the order as Linkbuds S, XM4, C700. Thx for the detailed review!!

[omxga.xtii]

I preferred the Xm4 in the sound sample but I think its way too big for my ear. During the ANC tests, I closed my eyes to see if I'd notice a difference in the C700n. Unfortunately, I did not hear any change at all. At 130 eur, it doesnt seem worth it. Especially after witnessing the Linkbuds S go on sale on Black Friday last year for $128, it seems like the C700n is worth it. Great comparison!

[Pleumel]

So glad i purchased the linkbuds s
Thank you for your opinion. This was very helpful.

[Doggmatic_]

Are the c700 significantly better in bass than the linkbuds?
I see this gentlemans disappointment with the c700 but at the same time i want what sounds good for music especially with bass.
