Sony XB700 review: Wireless headphones with good bass, exceptional battery

Its on-ear design makes it uncomfortable to use the Sony XB700 for extended hours. But with its lightweight build and 90-degree swivel ear cups you can keep hanging it around your neck all day

After introducing the premium WH-1000XM3 wireless headphones, Japanese electronics maker Sony recently launched in India the Sony WH-XB700, an affordable product in the company’s Extra Bass headphones series.

Being entry-level mid-range headphones, the XB700 lacks most premium features like noise cancellation and isolation. But it boasts a bass-rich audio output, and that is what this pair of headphones is all about.

The XB700 has a minimal design, made mostly of plastic with leatherette cushioning on the headband and ear cups. Light in weight, the headphones boast an on-ear design with ear cups that turn 90 degrees
