Sony WF-1000XM5 Truly Wireless
Sony WF-C700N Truly Wireless
The Sony WF-1000XM5 Truly Wireless are better by most measures than the Sony WF-C700N Truly Wireless. The WF-1000XM5's noise cancelling and isolation performance is in a different class and handily reduces plane and bus engines well, alongside chatter and clinking glasses. They use touch controls instead and are a bit chunkier, although not large. Of the two models, only the WF-1000XM5 supports the LDAC codec for higher-quality audio. Both have the same IPX4 rating and use the same app, although the WF-1000XM5 Truly Wireless have an expanded feature set for customizing controls. While both have similar continuous battery lives, the WF-1000XM5 case stores an extra full charge. Both are comfortable to wear and stable.
