Our Verdict
Sony WF-SP700N Truly Wireless
JBL UA True Wireless Flash
The JBL UA True Wireless Flash are better headphones than the Sony WF-SP700N Truly Wireless. They have better audio reproduction, are more stable for sports, and even if the Sonys are ANC headphones, the JBL have a better isolation performance. The JBL control scheme is easier to use and their build quality feels more high-end, on top of being rated IPX7. They also have about twice the battery life of the Sony. Overall, the JBL are better in almost every aspect, but they don’t support NFC like the Sony do.
