Sony launches WF-XB700 true wireless earbuds and WH-CH710N noise cancelling headphones
Sony has announced two new headphones – one is a pair of wireless earbuds and the other, a pair of noise-cancelling headphones.
The Sony WF-XB700 have an in-ear design and are a part of Sony’s Extra Bass series of audio products. They are sweat-resistant designs with an IPX4 rating. They, however, do not have a fin to help hold them securely in one’s ears.

Speaking of the battery life, the earbuds come with 9 hours of battery life and can be charged for another 9 hours via the charging case, bringing the total battery life up to 18 hours. Sony claims that charging the earbuds for 10 minutes can give up to 60 min of playback.
