Sony WF-XB700 - ranked #622 of 668 In-Ear Headphones · Editor's rating 2.1/5

#622 Sony WF-XB700 TWS Discontinued eBay

Pros: Bass is lifted about 2.5 dB with extension to 20 Hz, giving kick drums and bass lines extra weight. Lower mids sit within about 0.5 dB of target, keeping voices and guitars natural. It uses 1 x 12mm dynamic.

Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Treble sits about 6.5 dB low, so it sounds a little dark. A Harman score of 50 places it in the lower part of the in-ear rankings.
