Our Verdict
Sony WF-1000X Truly Wireless
Sony WF-SP700N Truly Wireless
The Sony WF-1000X Truly Wireless are slightly better headphones overall when compared to the Sony WF-SP700N Truly Wireless. They are both noise cancelling, truly wireless in-ears, but the WF-1000X have slightly better isolation (although not by much). The WF-1000X also have a better and more premium-looking build quality that most will prefer over the plasticky design of the SP700N, and a better default sound quality that's not as bass-heavy but does sound a bit sharp. On the upside, the SP700N sound a bit more exciting out of the box. They also have a slightly lighter and more unique design that some will prefer over the WF-1000X.
