The Sony WF-SP800N is part of the sports-focused range of personal audio products from the Japanese company, and comes with active noise cancellation and IP55-certified dust and water resistance. The earphones are among few options available in India with active noise cancellation, and go up against the more expensive Apple AirPods Pro and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2. The competitive pricing of these earphones in India will make them an attractive option for users looking at premium features in true wireless earphones.
There is also a claimed battery life of nine hours on the earphones, along with an additional nine hours from the case, along with quick charging that gives you an hour of use with 10 minutes of charging. As with most premium options, there are gesture controls on the earphones, access to voice assistants, app-based customisation through the Sony Headphones Connect app, and USB Type-C charging. Strangely though, there's no support for high-resolution Bluetooth codecs on these earphones; only the SBC and AAC codecs are supported.
The more affordable of the two true wireless headsets launched by Sony is the WF-XB700. Part of the company's 'Extra Bass' range, the earphones are tuned for better lows, and have an IPX4 water resistance rating, up to 18 hours of total battery life, and support for the SBC and AAC Bluetooth codecs. Charging the case is through a USB Type-C port.
