Sony is known for its lineup of TWS earbuds which have pretty great quality, but one infamous feature they have is their names which are not as simple as that of other brands. Where other brands go for simple names, Sony goes for names that are akin to model numbers and this applies to its latest earbuds which are marketed as the Sony WF-SP800N.
The Sony WF-SP800N are TWS earbuds with noise-canceling designed especially for sports. The earbuds have arc support for a comfortable fit, a recessed design on the outside, and an IP55 rating, which means they are resistant to sweat and splashes. The earbuds come in blue, black, and orange.
Sony says the WF-SP800N uses digital noise-canceling technology to reduce ambient noise when in the gym or your environment in general. There is also a feature called Quick Attention that allows you to temporarily reduce the volume of what you are listening to by holding down on one of the earbuds so you can hear background noise. The earbuds also have an adaptive sound control that automatically detects what you are up to and adjusts ambient sound settings. There is also an app, available for iOS and Android, that allows you to customize noise canceling and adjust equalizer settings.
The Sony WF-SP800N has touch controls for answering calls, calling up the Google Assistant, and controlling playback. Sony says it also has Extra Bass. Battery life is 9 hours with noise-canceling on and 13 hours with noise-canceling off. With the case, battery life goes up to 18 hours and 26 hours respectively. There is also support for quick charge that provides 60 minutes of playback time after just 10 minutes of charging.
Sony ships the earbuds with three pairs of silicone tips of different sizes, a pair of arc supports, and a USB Type-C cable for charging. It is priced at $199.99 and available for purchase on Amazon and from Sony’s website.
