Unique design, Great battery life, Active noise cancellation
We had reviewed the Sony WF-XB700 — the more affordable option from Sony — and were pleased as a punch with the overall performance of the earbuds. They lived up to the expectations and performance keeping in tune with their price point. The Sony WF-SP800...
Secure fit with plenty of customisation options, Feature-laden app support, Punchy bass response, Responsive touch controls
Bulky charging case, Large earphones protrude considerably, Slight background hiss when ANC is active, No aptX or LDAC suppor
The Sony WF-SP800N is no doubt a superb addition to the true wireless audio segment, offering ANC and other premium features at a sub-20K price point. However, for those vying for minimalism when it comes to the appearance of their earphones, these may no...

Comfortable, snug fit, IP55 dust and water resistance, Good battery life, Good active noise cancellation, Punchy, aggressive sound
Big earphones, bulky charging case, Sound isn't very cohesive, No advanced Bluetooth codecs,
Sony's first premium true wireless earphones in India impressed me for one major reason - pricing. With punchy sound, functional active noise cancellation, a decent level of water and dust resistance, and good battery life, this pair of earphones offers f...

For £129 (or similar) you can't really expect true wireless in-ear perfection and, sure enough, the Sony WF-SP800N aren't perfect. But they get an awful lot right in terms of sound, in terms of build quality and in terms of operability. As long as you don...

Vibrant, buoyant sound, Good noise-cancelling, Comfortable fit,
Slightly coarse sound, Average battery life,
The Sony WF-SP800N aren't perfect - they can be coarse at the top end and their default bass response is perhaps too rich for its own good - but they can be finessed to deliver a really energetic, well-balanced and enjoyable sound. And at this price, that...

Good noise-cancellation tech,Great ambient sound system,App offers lots of customisation,Great bass and sound quality,IP55 dust/water resistant
Case is really chunky,Headphones seem larger than they need to be,Controls won't cover all your needs

Basic noise cancellation, Water-resistant and sweatproof, Support for 360 Reality Audio
Tight in the ear, A little too bass-heavy, Battery life could be better
The Sony WF-SP800N are a sweat-resistant pair of true wireless earbuds that have both active noise cancellation and support for Sony's spatial audio format, 360 Reality Audio. Could one pair of earbuds please both workout enthusiasts and audiophiles? It c...
